    Your Indiana Highway Safety Info Please?

    This news article, Slick roads partly resulting from concerns over salt budget suggests a budget problem. I have no idea if it was just coincidence or related to the state's financial situation, but the last couple of times that we drove through Indiana we noticed that every weigh station we...

    EO 10 year's

    Congratulations on 10 years EO! I discovered this site while doing research into the expediting business. I lurked for a long time, reading and absorbing all the information that I could. This site has been a great help and I log in every chance I get. :)

    How do I know if i should do the load

    Phil, your post on your technique is making my head spin! lol Most of the things you mention we do not have to worry about or consider because we drive for an owner, but I still think it would be good information to know and to learn how to calculate. It would probably make tax time easier as...

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    That's not really fair. Not all Hino's are bad, just as not all other makes are perfect. We have driven several Hino's and have been very happy with them. The only problems we have had are with the one we are in now where we had to have the fuel injectors replaced. You can't lump all Hino's...

    Fast Food

    I like different things about each of the places listed. I like BK Bigfish sandwich from Burger King. I like Wendy's sour cream and chive baked potato and their side salad. I like McDonalds Sausage biscuit with egg. I like KFC's coleslaw. I like Taco Bell's taco supreme (crunchy shell). I...

    Would you take this run??

    I'm not sure I would want to drive the Alcan in Feb, but the offer would be difficult to turn down. (We also drive for a fleet owner and the final decision on a trip with such a long DH back out again would be the owners) I have driven the Alcan 3 times, though it was in the mid to late 80's...

    first post

    My husband and I decided on a straight truck because neither one of us was comfortable with the thought of driving a T/T unit. My husband had previous experience in the Army with straight type truck driving, but the only experience I had was sharing the driving of a 24' Ryder rental truck from...

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    We drive for a fleet owner and are on our 4th Hino. The one we are currently driving is the first one that we have had any kind of major problem with and we just had to have all of the fuel injectors replaced. Otherwise each of the Hino's that we have driven have been very good, dependable...

    When it rain it pours

    truckerbergs2, I'm sorry to hear that you have had so many problems. :( The suggestion that I have is to call the recruiters of several different companies and find out which ones are taking on solo drivers and if they can refer you to any of their fleet owners who are looking for drivers...

    We picked up a load in Newton, NC on Thurs and delivered in Woodhaven, MI Fri morning then took the truck in to Interstate Truck Source for a PM and to have some things checked out. We had only planned on being there a few hours at the most and since I had driven all night, I was looking...

    What the #$%&*@

    I'm a "new" member to this site but I lurked for a while before jumping in to post. I have always really enjoyed this forum and waste a lot of my "off" time reading. The advertisements do not bother me and I rarely even pay attention to them. As for "bad" carriers, everyone who is in this...

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    As nightcreacher stated, read the archives here. You will find a wealth of information, both good and bad, about a lot of companies. Determine a list of companies that you think would be a good "fit" for you and then call these companies and talk to their recruiters. Some companies are not...

    Favorite Truck stop brand

    I like Flying J, but we can't get fuel there because they don't take our fleet card, so we usually end up at a Pilot or TA or Petro. We have to use ULSD and in some places it's difficult to find, especially down south. I HATE most Pilot showers. Most TA and Petro showers I've been in aren't...

    Seller says it's the best Truck GPS

    I guess we will just stick with our Tom-Tom and our truckers atlas for now, until something affordable that is actually worthwhile comes out.

    If I'm famous, does that mean I'm entitled to a truck with a bigger sleeper? I think my diamond ring needs to be larger too. I wonder if I Beet my fist on the table a few times my hubby will Lettuce take an Endive to the Radicchio for a Polk at some larger Carrots? ;) Hiya Mrs...
