Just keep postin them BBQ joints!! I am adding them to my favs in my GPS as you do !! Thanks for the info!!:D:D

Take it easy Jack , and make sure you listen to your Dr's advise!! But you are right, got to be moving to make a buck, preferably moving loaded!! :D

I totally agree!! I'll move on my own with no pay to a better freight area in a heartbeat. I guess maybe thats one of the reasons why i am getting the # of loads i am when others tell me about sitting for 4-5 days. Not me, i am moving and finding those loads. Had a Panther driver tell me...

Fantasic! When yoiu hear of this type of person, working to overcome what is put in front of him by no doing of his own, it kind of puts each our our own issues in life in a bit of a different perspective. Congrats to you Glen. I am not one to wish people good luck as i truely believe we all...

I use AVG for anti virua and shybot Sereach and Destroy for spyware. Both work good, and are free.

There is enough blame to go around form the management to the union heads the the labor force, done of them are blameless and they all have there share of good and bad people within them. I am not one to bust unions, i am also not one to have the government bail them out (unions and...

Yea the Big buddies are ok to use indoors. That being said, i always have both front windows open about 1-1.5 inches and i have a Co2 detector. It has never gone off and there has no issues at this point. The heater also as a "low oxygen" detector built in and shuts off if there is a loss of...

I don't run a sprinter, but a CV. I insulaterd 4 foot back from the back of the drivers seat. Blue foam broad, bubble insulation over that and 1/4 luann plywood. Put a shower rod up and hang a big old really heavy double sleeping bag over that and also a heave quilt and use that as a burier from...

Ok, there are several ways to set up your business. And you don'thave to do any of them. But I have to believe most do. The tax advantages and the seperation of business and your personal holding just make sense to do so. A bad accident in your van could wipe you out personally while if you...

What a great idea, hope you don't mind if i steal it. While I don't drive for panther, i am sittin at the "J" in Evansville Ind. and there are 8 vans here, 5 panther!! Those guys certainly do needs some love!! And on top of that, we woke up to SNOW on the ground.....brrrrrrrrrr....

I don't see anyone saying it is a "bed of roses", but i do see the doom and gloom on a regular basis. Yes we all will acknowledge that freight rates are down and freight is slow, but we each have different needs and we won't all drive for a carrier that has 500 vans. If a person just drove to a...

the mess is share equally by the UAW and management. New hires at auto plants work for half the old workers, they have co pays an med and they do not get to be part of the job bank. The UAW has made changes, enough? Well maybe if they fired everyone and started over, then the wages would be in...

Good Post Steve!!

LOL, No disgruntled chef here, that business is still going, i just hired 2 others to do the work, as for the multiple businesses, yeap and a multiple personality disorder also!! LOL! Ok so a quick, not too detailed overview, Now, No i don't consider the destruction or replacement cost...

Hmmmmm, I read this last night. After i dropped in madison ms., a load that paid me well more then $.70 a mile including the FSC, I looked at all of my runs since I started with bolt in the last week of aug., I have NOT hd a run that i did for $.70 CPM including FSC in all that time. Did turn...

I personally believe that there is a certain segment here that whines about the doom and gloom just to keep people from entering the business and just maybe taking what they feel they are due. If i had listened to those people, i wouldn't be sittin in this "J" parking lot after dropping a...
