I have been EXEMPT ALL THIS TIME and did not know it????? Its true, Nascar anyone affiliated with Entertainment is legal to do almost as they please. But not overweight. My last employer did not even have to pay us our regular wage and actually discounted overtime because of this dumb law...

The Dealer can probably to a better job of specs than we can. Trans/Engine HP will make a big difference, so there is not just one answer. Someone may have a set up that he/she just loves ISC 285 HP Allison Auto, 390 close to rear. Works just fine for me but I am a bit jelous of those with...

It is safe to say that Grey Water is not contianing any Body Fluids could be dumped onto the ground. I prefere not to do this in a truck stop though. Also watch in the winter time that if you hold any water get it emptied asap as it will freeze and crack your holding tank. Same goes for...

Dreamer is right. One more suggestion, when I called for an appointment at our DMV there was a 4 month wait to get tested. Go to a local College that does Truck Driving Testing and for a moderate fee and you may have to rent a truck from Ryder with Airbrakes not the Furniture Truck Division...

Congradulations, I feel its great to follow your heart. It is impressive that everyone on this site has guided and helped you down the path ( from me, thank you all for the same ). How has this site done as a tool for a learning curve for your success?

The name will come to me when I am out on the road and than I will post it. There was a product that I used to clean the stainless steel on Elevator Cabs that took everything off I wonder if that would work because it dried on the rag before you do a 3x3 square.

The Pro-Heat in my truck is now working better than I had ever planned on. Air will freeze me out 42F curitans open it even keeps the cab semi warm but the sleeper I need a jacket. Winter months this is a gem it will work on even the biggest of sleepers but cannot comment on a giant one for...

Very nice resumme, first time I have read one of your posts. Wish you the very best and your X-drivers. This is what I was preaching about Friday evening on one of the Posts Options you have several to choose from and took another road there was an opportunity laying in front of you congrats.

RE: C's RULE !!!!!!!!!! I agree I take more Cs than Ds but so what it pays the same, my question was why would a C have any prefrence over a 1,500 load vs my D at anothe carrier. If I am there first closest to the frieght than a D should get it over a C that just pulled into the same town...

Whats the average life of these if no cracks appear. I have heard you can polish them out with BonAmi a product used to polish Copper and Brass, fills in sand scratches makes windshield wipers work better. Since I am on the subject, I am finding that Rain X in the summer sucks. Wipers do not...

RE: C's RULE !!!!!!!!!! Why would carriers take a C over a D I mean whats the difference in a Dispatchers view point. I can understand if it is a large load than a C cannot. If its only 4,500lbs why would a C get the load offer first if a D were already there over a C? Thank goodness my...

RE: New 2006 International 4300 with 466 engine Be If it is only 77K are you sure? Price sounds way to good to be true with an 84 Bentz. Are you sure its not 77 for a truck and box than add the sleeper. A Bentz sleeper 84 is gona probably run 25K with some options not loaded, a Van Body 10...

I am no expert at this, this is just what I have personally done. So if anyone has a better suggestion than please post it. But if your gona Flame me keep it down, I am only offering a alternative here for others. Smarter than some? Smarter than everyone NO.

Most of this is Regulated by the States, you put into a Pool with All Workers Classfied in a Trade. They all pay the same and the state overlooks it. In otherwords 10 insurance companies can offer it but they all share equally in losses and profits. This is what makes them guarantee workers...

RE: What is the philosophic objection RE: Health I personally had a work related injury 4 years ago $11K in medical bills they paid all except for the deducatables. You are covered 100% with BCBS minus your deducatable work or personal its health insurance. If you want a W/C insurance...

Good idea Leo, try it out it can't hurt you will probably be better off local as if you got into Expediting there is no telling where your vehicle would be when you need it back. Long DH

Stayed married to my first wife. Oh I did I was thinking of the rest of society. 24 years happier everyday with this one.

You already have four months behind you. Stay put until your 12 is up. Options my friend options. The more you have the correct decisions will be open to you in the future. If you change now (even you do not like what your doing) it will be all for nothing. What if a local LTL like ABF or...

How do you listen to Nascar? Wow I better keep my comment to myself there football nut. Only Joe can switch from one to the other without questioning that one, but should have stayed put. I am still without Satelite everytime I get a couple of hundred in this radio account something else...

Great advice from all. This is exactly what I am hearing out on the road. Go to any truck stop and see how some of these people are living, doors wide open 90 plus temp they appear to be absolutly miserable at least the living conditions are. Do you want people working in your equipment under...
