    Slingbox

    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...

    Canada Watch your speed in Canada

    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...

    My ad for driver available

    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...

    Who has their own authority?

    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...

    Who has their own authority?

    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...

    someone rate me please!!!!!

    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...

    FINALLY SAID GOOD BYE TO PANTHER

    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...

    Cube Van

    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...

    Cube Van

    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...

    JUNG EXPRESS LOAD ISSUE

    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...
