Col, Having down time in the truck to relax and being home and spending time with my wife are to seperate things. Regardless of what anyone says about home time you come back with this mess about how if we are sitting for 2 days waiting on a load then we have time to relax, which is true, but...

RE: best Comp 2-run sole living in Harrisburg PA?? I've run solo with p2 and tri state. I see alot of pa with tri-state. plus i'm doing good there as a solo due to the fact that i think they have a slight shortage of teams which helps us solos. I drive a d unit.

Mr. and Mrs. Caffee, Let me know if you decide to put on the aux tank and would like some help. I think I would enjoy working on that project.

I think the aux fuel tank will be a good add on. To me I think it would increase the resale value or at least help it stand out from the other ons for sale. Broom it would be easy to know how much fuel they got if the used a refer tank. The same way I knew when I pulled refers. When you do your...

The way i figure my home time is one week on the road one day at the house. That's why i spend about every other weekend at home. This week i've been home due to my wife having surgery. My owner is cool with it. It wasn't planned in advance it just happened. I called him told him what was going...

I think the teenage drug problem is just as much the parents fault as it is the kids. I see alot of parents let their kids do whatever when they are little then when they are 16 the parents want to be strict and whip the kids. Then the kids scream child abuse and do drugs and sleep around. When...

I wonder if generater fuel could bought as refer fuel?

You could also try a tank off a refer trailer. I would also figure out a way someone could look and see that it was only for the generater instead of going to the motor. Because if the dot samples the fuel and see the red dye they may get suspcious even though it's not illegal.So if they can...

I would make sure the truck is spotless when he turns it in. If I were him I would work a notice unless he said no. I would also get a something in writing that says I brought it back. CYB is something to remember in situations like this. Cover Your Butt.

I would take the truck back, if you don't it could be considered an abondament and if it is put on your dac report it will stay there for 10 years and could cause sme problems getting another job.

Magic Man, There is a corny pick up line some guys have tried to use that says drop the zero and get with a hero. Not trying to advertise but my owner is the bomb give me a call if you want to see about another job. 501-412-1814 Brad Hodges

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna get my credit better and more savings so i can do it by myself. I just get tired of having someone taking a piece of the pie and leaving me with crumbs. But hey i guess i will appreciate it even more when i get it own my own. Thanks.

LDB, The way I see it is you shouldn't ask someone working for you to pay your expense which is fuel. When someone buys a truck they should realize that is there expense and pay it. How would you feel if the big man at panther told you you had to pay the dispatchers salary that day because...

I drive for a fleet owner. I pay wc he pays qc and fuel. I never have and never will pay for fuel. In my mind that's a rip off. I started to go to work for someone before I went to work were I'm at. They said I had to pay for fuel and that's why i'm not there. She told me I would come out better...

About the inspection. I keep all the documents the other two gentlemen stored neatly in a breif case with nothing else in it except my emergency response handbook(for hazmat) and my fmcsa guidelines book as well. The green books are handy to have in case you recieve a violation you can nicely...

Rich, The primadonnas won't be happy if they can have everything their lil hearts desire they will still find a problem.

Like I said I'm in expedite and I'm not home every weekend. There is no way I could be home every weekend. One reason is because I'm not always close enough to go home, and since i'm a solo I get my "good" runs on the weekends. There have been a few times where I left on monday and it just so...

I have a question. Why can't someone be a professional truck driver and go home on weekends? I don't but my brother does. He drives for a very well known flatbed company. He's been there 6 years been driving for 10. No accidents no tickets no nothing. He's a real pro. He goes home every weekend...

It seems to me the auto industry is not a good one to bank on. Nuff Said

Does anyone know of any honest fleet owners who might would help an honest, hard working young man get a truck? I'm looking at a truck at ellenbaum it's an international 2000 they only want 23,900 for it. The last credit person I talked to said I have good credit but my score is low because I...
