    Preventable Or Not

    I see no way this could be called preventable. An owner that tried to blame the driver would be one to steer clear of and warn others about IMHO.

    Barrett Directline

    Never worked for them but spoke with several of their drivers. None had anything bad to say and talked well of the company.

    Should I go for it?

    Several people have said drive for a major carrier. For me just the opposite is true. I have done way better with a small company than with one of the big boys. I wonder if some people giving that advice have driven for anything other than major carriers.

    Panther Orientation

    M Someone wasn't listening very well. I was actually surprised at some of the info given. They told us some very helpful info about turning down unprofitable runs. It seemed very driver oriented to the point of making dispatches job toougher.

    Do you too get lonely away from home for long time

    I am ok as long as I am running. Sometimes after sitting for a couple days I do miss company. That is why I like busy [laces like Laredo always someone to talk to. The winter cold makes it harder to get out and talk too.

    Dropped in Hayward California this afternoon, decent weather for the most part across 80 except for a lot of wind in NE and WY. Sitting at the Ripon J now. Hope I get a load out tomorrow.

    truck, or van

    Many people out here drive for others and do ok. Everyone's situation is unique and one size does not fit all. Yes the industry does have a large turnover but out of those numbers are people who love what they do and stay with it for a very long time. People leave for many reasons and money is...

    Getting Experience

    Post an ad today! When looking for employment it is always smart to take advantage of as many avenues as possible. Being solo will make it tougher to find work if you were willing to team at least for the experience I would imagine work would come much faster.

    Getting Experience

    They only take teams. I am surprised you are having trouble finding a ride. Not assuming anything but just things to consider. Are you doing something in presenting yourself that might be causing owners to hesitate? Red flags they look for are people wanting home often, people with a bigger...

    "My name is Dieseldoesit and I like to drive..."

    As has been said many times on here, in expediting where your company is in relationship to your home makes no difference. If your making money you would hardly ever be near the office. There are many successful people out here who have worked for a company for years and except for the day they...

    I have to agree with what most posters here are telling you, do what you must to stay off the road. My best days in expediting are the ones spent at home near my 16 y/o daughter.

    scoring brownie points in michigan

    Many of the responses in this thread leave me shaking my head. It is so easy to find a reason not to get involved than to get involved. Some people here have even proven that point by listing some of those reasons or wanting to define the situation creating yet another reason to sit on the...

    scoring brownie points in michigan

    Part of the problem in this world today. People do not get involved because ....... you fill in the blank. I suppose if some lady is getting molested or someone is having a medical emergency you should not get involved because your job is to deliver freight and your not trained to properly...
