Here's the last sticker we had... Are there any of these left Lawrence?

I think everyone has those last minute "What have I done?" feelings waiting on that first load. Hang in there, before you know it, it'll be routine for ya. Dreamer

Nah, I been a dreamer for too many years..LOL.. that's why people told my wife not to marry me.. but that's another story..LOL.. seriously, I read some conjecture that this is Volvo's attempt to get the conventional long nosed truck buyer to buy Volvo. I know a lot of long haul drivers look...

Found a couple pics posted online of the new VT Volvo 880. The truck has Volvo’s new D16 engine, rated up to 635 hp with 2,250 lbs.-ft. of torque. This is apparently Volvo's attempt to make a long nose truck, but to me, it looks more like a Freightliner FLD120 or Coronado reworked. Kinda...

Slowhand, As Glen said, perhaps a saftey department of a company. I'd suggest calling them directly and asking for the saftey department, and just feel them out. Also, my thought would be a recruiter. As someone who has actually BEEN in the industry, your perspective would be a great...

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F Just to clarify, without taking sides.. the story on the front page was written several weeks ago, not in response to this thread. We are doing our best to keep neutral in this, and moderate in the best interest of the whole forum, including...

Thanks guys! I'll pass it on, or he'll probably read it on here. Dreamer

Had someone ask me a question privately that I don't know the answer to, so I'll ask on here for those more familiar with OOIDA. Can Van drivers join OOIDA, or is it just for Truck Drivers? The reason this gentleman was asking, is he's hoping to take advantage of their medical insurance, etc...

Thanks for the info and link. Some of that stuff is hard to find! Saved that one in my fav's! :) Dreamer

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F I believe I understand, and it's what I was mentioning earler in another post. Everyone gets so passionate about their point of view, many people take it as they want to exclude others, to the point of making some feel unwelcome. I believe...
