Anna, I humbly apologize for calling you a spammer. Honestly, the post seemed like a cut and pasted press release for Slingbox. Obviously I was wrong. And if you're a friend of the Diva, that's good enough for me. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let...

Well, you'd think if she was clever, she'd have waited and asked some questions first and gotten to know everyone before exposing her sole motive. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not...

Pretty clever to start a sales pitch on your very first post, especially after just joining.....NOT. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Hehe..The wife and I were leaving JC Penney the other night, when a car on the street we were turning onto swerved and almost hit us. She seemed completely clueless of our presence. Upon closer inspection, we found a cell phone in the left hand and a cigarette in the right. No wonder she...

Hey Ross, Here are some things you will need to think about in order to go outside your home state: -Motor Carrier Authority $300.00 -Medical card -I believe minimum required insurance for cargo vans is $300,000, and over 10000 GVWR it is 750,000 minimum by law. Plus shippers will want cargo...

Hey Joe, Yeah, it sucks to be at odds with the wifey. The fact is, the truth will always outlive a lie. Also, you are hardly a drain on society, much less this forum. You've always been a very helpful member, even opening up about the mistakes you've made along the way. At times I have...

Thanks for the responses. Even though I don't go interstate yet, I've still had 13 offers for interstate loads since May 1st, mostly out of Orlando. One out of Tampa, and one from Miami. Shortest was about 389 miles, while the longest was 978 loaded miles. That, is in addition to all of...

I would like to speak to people who operate on their own authority. I am an inTRAstate carrier who is in the process of obtaining interstate authority. Specifically, those who have experience at loading C and D units on their own. (This is not about filing and requirements, but rather about...

Dreamer can clarify this, but I believe the gold stars accumulate for the number of posts made, NOT the rating points. But then again, I could be completely wrong. It won't be the first time. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the...

One thing I have found out about expedited freight is that you have to wait for it, because it can't wait for you. It's always an inconvenience and that IS the nature of the beast. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But...

Moot, Thanks for expressing your view. Very well stated, I might add. :D Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Well, the Supreme box on my cube is 90" wide inside, 85 through the door. Mine is about 40" deck height. Aviator on here had one that was 16 feet, I believe. he blocked off the first 5 feet for living and enough room for 4 skids left. Small bunk, fridge, a microwave and you're set. Side...

All I have to say is, "The Lord is good!" Enjoy that vacation. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain

Yes, I do have to log. Even though I would generally be considered short haul because I am normally back in terminal by the end of the day, AND alot of what I do might fall under the 150 mile rule for intrastate carriage (which exempts me from HOS regs) I do have to log. It's really not a big...

What about the consignee? When they signed for your shipment, they would surely have gotten a copy from you. Have you been able to work with them to get a copy? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of...

Thanks for the input. The truck has roughly 600,000 miles on it for a 2000. 72" raised roof sleeper AND cabin. 22 foot dry box. Diesel APU. What kind of mpg are you guys getting with your Cummins FL? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be...

Has anyone had experience with the Cummins 8.3L engine? I stopped by and looked at a used FL 70 the other day with one. It’s a reman with about 11,000 miles on it. Truck had a 9 speed Eaton Fuller Autoshift in it as well. I would love to hear from any o/os or fleet owners who’ve run...

Well, everyone brokers occasionally. When you have a customer who wants a load picked up in 60 minutes, your only truck within three hours is waiting to get his 11 back, then you broker it or lose the customer altogether. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119...

I think "the owner" that he is referring to is the owner of Jung Express, and that he himself is an o/o. Is that correct, Missouri? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark...

It only sucks that the GVW is 8550. Maybe a 1700 lb load after driver and supplies? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed." --Mark Twain
