    Tenntrucker makes it home!

    I'd venture a guess if this good man was on here right now he'd be saying: Retire and enjoy your Life, Family and Friends as soon as you possibly/feasibly/financially can! So much of Life we're missing waiting in Parking Lots and not being in our Home Towns. This is not a healthy lifestyle for...

    Jimmy Carter has cancer

    I hope he's not suffering. I feel for his wife, family and friends. I support 'Death with Dignity'. Wished my Folks and Sister would have had that Option.

    August. Where you at,

    Yes, for the 4 years I've been there.... always a Negotiation with every Dispatcher. Just the way they run their Business. I am just a Freight Mover and what matters is how low I'll move it for and that I'm not late on any PU or Delivery. I am a number just as I have been in any previous Job. I...

    As an O/O with Bolt, I have access to Fleet Vision. It does show my Current location and if I'm In Service. If I don't HAVE to call in I don't.

    Yep, I understand all of that, being in this business now for 5 yrs. coming up November. Like this morning for my 7am PU. I email my Dispatchers, letting them know I'm up and inside the Shipping Office. I don't ever want to tie up their Phone lines. They could be calling me or someone else with...
