Thank you, Broom. That was a nice thing to say. I'm glad I've been able to prove worthy to people like Tom and Davekc. It's always good for a driver to maintain a good relationship with whomever is providing his source of income. We all are in a niche here that I felt left out of when I went...

RE: Eaton-Fuller Super 10 Lightning Series for tra Thanks. I'll see if I can download it at this truckstop. My internet connection is T-Mobile here, so I don't have a good wi-fi like I would if I were at the FJ. I appreciate the link.

I think they only have one part-time recruiter and he may be confused. I just signed on and it wasn't for $1.10. I'm sitting outside of Louisville with my tractor and trailer and I'm supposed to be resting after driving from Arlington, TX to Louisville in a rental car for 910 miles. I had to...

RE: Eaton-Fuller Super 10 Lightning Series for tra I think you're confused about the Super 10. 3rd to 4th is just a flip of the splitter. 4th to 5th requires a shift and the splitter should be down. 5th and 6th don't require a shift. You just flip the splitter. But, 7th is a shift and the...

I don't know much. But, I've just signed on with A. Blair running T/T. We are leasing from Xtra Lease. This way, if I have to pull a company trailer, I can easily drop my Xtra trailer and pick another one up after I deliver the shipper's trailer. They have terminals all over the U.S. and are...

I have my truck and trailer for A. Blair. What a surprise when I got in and discovered it had a Super 10!!!! I've never used a Super 10. The good news is that I figured it out and drove bobtail about 60 miles and with a trailer attached for 15 miles. But, I float gears. I've been somewhat...

Here's your link, Jeff. Enjoy. http://www.darwinawards.com/

Uh. Jeff. The Darwin Award. That is a reward given to an individual who does something so stupid it results in his death. Like bungy jumping off a bridge with a wire tied around your ankles instead of the elastic bungy cord. It removes your feet and doesn't stop the fall. Those people...

Thanks Dave. I started this post because I was impressed with Jeff's article on sleepy drivers. He did a good job on that one. The next best one I like by him was about drinking liquids. That also was a great article. And, anytime he quotes me in an article I get really upset that he...

Oh please. No where in that post did I say I was running illegal. I was just describing how tired I can get sometimes while driving at night. I drive an 18-wheeler and I won't be hitting your vehicle because I stop driving when I am that tired. That was the point of the post.

I don't know where you got that information on mileage rates. You might want to check your information source. Yes. At A. Blair you run a lot. I don't know why that means something is bad. Most money loving can't stand to sit still drivers would die for that.

Florida? I thought you got rid of your place in Florida. I told Steve that my sister lives in Bradenton and that my mother is in a nursing home in St. Pete. I hope to pass through there once in a while. Where and when would I find you in Florida?

That was a good article by Jeff Jensen. Driver fatigue is a real problem. He talked about circadian rhythms. I read a book called "Insomnia" by Steven King which really talked a lot about sleep rhythm. As an older adult, I have noticed that I want to go to bed earlier and like to get up...

I got my wish. I'll be in Louisville Friday for orientation and then back to work for my favorite company. Many of you don't realize that this will be my third time going back to A. Blair. I started in March, 04 driving a 98 FL70. It had a coffin sleeper. Maybe 42 inches. But, I persevered and...

Do I sound like I'm begging? Hmmm. Maybe. Here's my email: [email protected].

Does anybody out there have a T/T that I could drive and sign it on with A. Blair? I know we would make lots of money. I drive hard and A. Blair has more freight than they have trucks. I need a reliable tractor. Of course, the newer the better. I have to get away from this reefer driving...

I know you would take me back, Dave. I also know driving solo with the HOS restrictions can't work for me or you. Brenda has gotten her dream job. She works as an assistant to the Dean of the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and has just returned from a trip to...

When Brenda and I drove for Davekc, he and his wife Grace were the nicest kindest owners. It didn't matter what time it was, we could call and Dave would guide us to success. He was there for us. He understood that his drivers were what made the company a success, and he supported us...

Most of you probably know I drove for A. Blair until I got a co-driver who couldn't qualify for their insurance requirements. I never made so much money driving solo as I did driving for them using their equipment. I had to work my butt off, but my bank account reflected the good decision I...
