    What is the Perfect Load?

    My perfect run happened just once. I was five miles away from the pu, got three small boxes, took them to the airport, which was ONE mile away. Got paid $250!

    Pravda: Communism has won in America

    I've been living 27 years in that Eastern European communist concentration camp. Indeed, Albania had the worst form of communism, but my ex-country wasn't too far to reach that form, especially in the 80's. My family had the option to move either to Germany or Austria, since my both grandmothers...

    HTC One

    I did already. I guess I'll try one, if I like it, I'll keep it, if not, my wife needs a new one anyway ;)

    HTC One

    It might be a good choice.... I don't like that much my S3 either. Been to the store, looking for iPhone 5 or the new BlackBerry. The seller told me to stay with what I got instead of switching to any of those two. Never considered HTC... yet!

    1st Time I have my own Authority Thinking of selling the old Truck and stepdeck

    Try NLM. They might not let you in at first, but keep bothering them! Another option is Sylectus, but they're expensive and when you're new, the brokers won't pay too much attention on you. Good luck!

    Do ya believe it?

    I'm not crying for turning down that load. I just don't believe dispatch's story. About me, I left home Thursday early in the morning, did three good runs (almost 2000 mi), and last night I got back home.

    Do ya believe it?

    It's not driving me crazy at all. I just don't believe it. The time was too short to drive so many miles. We're talking here about less than three days. Unless the guy was speeding, reeeeal speeding.

    Do ya believe it?

    On Tuesday my dispatch called me for a run from Detroit to Smyrna, TN. I turned it down. Yesterday, Friday, I was talking with the same dispatch, and she told me how much I missed by turning down that run... ok, let's start it. Another driver took that run, he delivered in Smyrna, then he had a...

    The orange box trucks.

    I used to sleep on the floor when I switched from 18 to 4 wheels. But for few days only. I was about to sell the van and get back on my truck. Then I remembered about log books, chicken houses and all that creepy stuff, and I bought a cot.

    The orange box trucks.

    I spoke to several drivers and that's what they told me... I drove a rented box van few years ago, but that was in Germany, helping a friend of mine to move, so I didn't care about the fuel.

    The orange box trucks.

    I met once a "non-believer", but he was driving a regular cv. My guess was that he never had the curiosity to see how a shower looks inside. As a bonus, he had an overweight dog in his van.

    The orange box trucks.

    They are expediters, they have a sleeper inside the box, probably a removable one. The only advantage of using a box van is that you can put more freight, even more than a Sprinter, but as in gas consumption, it really sucks, they get about 10-12 mpg.

    showeer credits???

    Yep, only half of shower with minimum purchase of 14 gallons of gas. The shower will last for five days on your card.

    Freight rate still trending lower

    When I was driving a big rig, not just once happened to get only one pallet or one barrel. I remember the very first time when I came to El Paso, I got one pallet going to Michigan...

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    If you wanna run 24 hrs without any break, then Tri State isn't the comp. you're looking for. Try small carriers, they'll give ya that kinda runs. P.S. Call Hana Express!

    The Load One Dream Team ; Fact or Fiction?

    Speaking about Load 1, yesterday I was talking to another expediter and he said that L1 dropped their pay rate to $.80... it's that true?
