My co-driver has a family situation which requires her to leave the truck we are driving for Dave Corfman. It is a 2000 FL70 temp control box with push axle and liftgate. 96" sleeper. Quite capable of handling most loads, although, the insulation in the box reduces the inside width to only 92...

I was complaining to my boss last night that it seemed we weren't running that much. I suppose I got spoiled by the 4th quarter business that kept coming and coming. After he sent me some stats, I found I really didn't have any need to complain. What threw me off was delivering in Laredo on a...

Ok ok ok. Flying J has some faults. But, I like the price of fuel. I like their debit card. I love having 2 towels in my shower. My co-driver thinks their deli chicken wings are awesome. And, the food is fresh during the day. I see them restocking it all the time. Yes, it is greasy. I...

I agree with you on the truckstops. It seems that most are just acquiring existing stops. TA did well to buy up the WG stops. It's funny to see 2 Pilot stops oppposite each other. I like having Pilots to spend the night at when there is nothing else, but I'll be damned if I'll buy their...

Whatever

I was assuming you were referring to his employment web site rather than his forum web site. I get the feeling that divulging the forum address causes replies to be edited. I think there is some bad blood between EO and Tom. So much for free speech on private web sites. I dare not say too...

RE: Revenue Potential of Tractor vs. Straight Truc Check again. Panther requires just one year or completion of driving school. I don't think Conway Now has requirements. I do know that Landstar requires 2 years on all their truck types. Tri-State will give you a break on experience, too...

I always like to add my ten cents. I use MS Streets and Trips, but know it isn't truck friendly. So, I map my route on S&T then read the QC directions from Panther and adjust my map accordingly. Since Panther uses PCMiler, their routes are ok for trucks. Before I started driving, I purchased...

Yep. I just got assigned the night shift. I like 5 on and 5 off. I just can't believe how much the world just hates us truck drivers. It seems that every day something else comes along to make it harder to drive. It looked like the focus was on turning all trucks into team trucks, and, now that...

Love my XM. Can't drive without it. Fox & Friends from 6 to 9. Glen Beck from 9 til noon. If I can't find Rush on AM, it's Laura Ingraham from noon to 3. Then, music until Brit Hume on Fox at 6 PM. I listen to Fox until Greta comes on, then, back to music. My music? 11 and 16 for...

Were you sitting because of the T/T crash under I-45 on I-20? My girlfriend called me and told me about that crash. I was lucky to miss that. I drove through there on my way to Michigan at 6:00 AM Eastern on May 24. I got to Memphis, and there was a T/T fire there on I-40 West and a Swift...

Where is my duct tape???? I'm not sure I would use "honest" as a good description. There isn't a driver on the road who hasn't had to "stretch" a break on his log book to have enough hours to deliver his load.

Wow!!! I thought it was only Blair Enterprises that was having ProHeat problems. Every time I go to AlumiBunk in Woodhaven, they try to fix mine but also tell me nobody else is having so many problems. Thanks for making me feel better!!!!! As far as I know, Tom refused delivery of 4 brand...

Since I will never work for FedEx CC again, this won't be a problem. My current job offers more flexibility than any other out there.

Thanks for that advice. I received Tom's OK to get a cat, so I'm assuming his insurance is ok with it. I think he wants me to have a cat so I won't want to spend as much time on the phone with him talking.

Thanks for the info on the Sprint card. You're the first person who I've seen write about it. I get so upset when I haven't got a connection unless I'm at Flying J or TA. I have to go further sometimes just to be sure I'll have my WiFi access when I stop. I'm lost without the internet. I...

Thanks everyone. I know I would enjoy her company. She is up to date with here shots (I spent $190 over Christmas getting her groomed and up to date). I won't be going to FedEx Custom Critical ever again. White Glove or regular. I'm very happy with Tom. I never play the tourist. I am OCD...

I can't believe you said that!!! I delivered to GM-Fairfax in Kansas City, KS this afternoon. Tomorrow morning Tom is flying into KCI (MCI). I'm picking him up and driving him to his new Sprinter in Raymore, MO. I hope I'm not too nervous driving with him in the his truck with me. This will...

Thanks, Dave. Your dogs are about the same size as my cat. I'm not 100% convinced I should take her. I'm hoping a lot of people will talk me out of it. If I need company, I have my XM Radio. lol
