Back in the day, A buddy of mine and I went to a college bar in Oxford Ohio. They checked the heck out of his ID (he was twenty three) and did not even glance at mine (I was 17). Anyway while the band played it was rocking and a rolling something fierce, The band played some stuff that was on...

I think he is correct they are Red Bud trees. We had some in the yard when I was a kid. Problem is they don't last very long as a tree.

I forgot a big one. Don't idle the truck.

Yes, it's Chrome shops Logo

Got mine at 03:02, Funny thing was it took me three E-M's to finally get on it. Then when they came out with the 30 day free trial, it no longer worked. So after three days of work to get back on it, I get that message this morning. As a side note Moot, Yesterday I put in "out of truck on...

1. One way is to read and understand Leo's post on "Whose $20 is it" 2. Another one would be always try and deliver early, always. 3. Don't eat in the truck stop as often. After all PB&J is the truckers best friend. 4. Always try and pickup early. 5. Track where you get loads the earliest...

There are times when dispatch will have customer service also watching a load, so that can mean two groups of people who do not talk to one another. then add in a possible shift change and you have pandemonium. I have found the customer service people to be as sarcastic as me.;) If you don't...

Seems to me some of the people ragging on the truck, don't even drive for a living. If you don't like the truck and you happen to win it, I will glady take it off your hands for what you paid for it.

the new hours of service say you must have 10 hours of off duty time for every 11 hours driving Now does 10 hours off duty include sleeper berth time? And if so do they expect me to sleep a straight 10 hours after i've driven for 11 hours...

The best thing is if you stop for a break of some kind, do it after you have put some decent miles behind you. That way you biuld up some time because of there 47 miles an hour thingy. Meaning if you run four hours averageing 60 mph then you are 52 miles ahead of the curve, and could take up to...

I told you the other side is my best side dangit.

Hey, that's me in the picture, I wonder if that will just be the start of many pictures with MY truck.

But to answer Geo's question I think the way we handle it is the best for us. My answer to a question for extra service is if dispatch will approve it I would be happy to do anything you need done. Won't take me a second to get hold of them. Had a customer that wanted us to deskid 20 skids of...

X you don't know how EGL works. A lot of your 10 to 15 deliverys a day are one doorway only. Some of your deliverys pay as little as $6.00 and 12.00, and you might have five or six of them a day. Some VERY costly items at times. Home delivery of big screen tv's with tilt and tells. You don't...

Well Dave please don't under estimate the value of those two or three afternoons behind the wheel training in the truck. That has to be worth 1500 bucks a week for a year. And then there is that escrow thing. Oh and the savings account, and the phone support, and the accountant's help for...

I have had tires trued before. provoked the heck out of me to grind/cut a new tire. Went to a different place and they broke the tire down and rotated it on the wheel and that solved about 1/2 of the problem. Also when mounting the wheels on the truck have them spin the tire to make sure that...

That's what we get paid...so, unless your team doesn't pay for their fuel, or their getting an amazing rate per mile, then I don't see the difference. We're both getting paid basically the same. Correct me if I'm wrong or misread your post. Lets make it easy Cat......4700 miles in 4 days my...

We use the centramics, they seem to help ALOT. While having my last set of steers mounted the guy at the tire shop said about the same thing as Dave about not being round.

We do have the same worker's accident insurance everyone else has, and we do pay $100 a month to an accountant. $ 1,200.00 a year. I wonder if you picked that accountant, or they gave the number to one of the "in house" guys. I would say that is one of the highest rates I have EVER heard of...
