I took my travel trailer to a church camp for my niece to use, thus loosing all of that friday for taking any loads. Now here I am again. I deadheaded from Columbus to Grand Rapids to get my pickup and drive 90 miles to pick up the trailer and bring it home. Someone please shoot me. So far...

Had my oil changed at a quiick oil change [not Speedco]. The guy screwed up my drain plug and repaired it with a standard Helicoil without asking me. Needless to say it started leaking within a few days. Now I'm having trouble getting it fixed. Freightliner had it for a day and decided I...

Saw an ad for Velocity Logistics in the latest Expedite Now. I've never run into these people before. Kinda makes me feel like I've been on some other planet. Anyway, anyone know anything about them?

I had the opportunity to spend the weekend in the Flying J in Dade City Florida ( San Antonio ???). I like the flying Js for their restrooms and showers. This one was not up to standard. By sunday night the drivers mens room was a disaster and 2 of three toilets were stopped up and...

I've been thinking over this whole "D" truck thing. I pay for a parking place at home; I pay fuel taxes; I get 7.5 miles to the gallon;I have to log and enter all scales. I've been considering a van for quite a while but I keep hearing about slow van business. Is there room out there for an...

I think this is the place for this question. How many miles are too many to run in a legal 11 hour straight through run. Assuming you are driving through several states with speed limits from 55 to 70 mph. I know what I think but the pressure is on in this slow period to take what comes up...

OK I'm getting just a little jealous of you van drivers. So much in fact that I've considered going to a van. We D guys aren't as welcome in state parks, shopping malls, camp grounds and such. So D drivers what do you do for fun and recreation on the road. Frankly I'm sick of sitting around...

I've got a Cat 3126, Just turned 300,000 and just started using oil. I've got it in at Cat to do an overhead right now and hope they find something simple. Any ideas?

Well folks I just did a stupid thing. I know it's my own fault but it stll bumms me out. I just deadheaded back to Michigan from Memphis and deadheaded back from Orlando three weeks ago. (yes I know Orlando can be a bad spot) Got tired of sitting and came home. A lot of this business depends...

I'm a single "D" truck and I'm averaging $1500 or less per week gross. I really like the guys I'm running for but it's hard to justify the expense of owning a truck on this kind of volume. I could really use some feedback on what I should expect. I don't turn down legal loads and I'm always...

I've been thinking about making a change. Could anyone give me some information about Landstar. I really like the company I'm working with now except I'm not getting the miles I need. I don't want to give up the good working relationship for little or no gain.:9
