    Genius .... and Boobus .....

    When Ron Paul ran as an independent people bought into the idea that voting for a 3rd party candidate was a wasted vote. Now that he is running as a republican people are buying into "he's too old" line of crap. If you believe in the man and his platform, support him! Don't be swayed by media...

    Little boy buying a doll for his sister

    Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. Conflicting facts. It seems the media is always out to get the trucker. Too bad your local newspaper altered the story ever so...

    Question about winter driving

    But you do need to know because it does matter! If you knew your clearance that 5 mile detour may have been unnecessary.

    I need some serious help here Ladies and Gentlemen!

    Jujmbuck,I agree with the title of this thread. You do need some serious help. You claim to be given runs that are difficult to meet the delivery times yet you also state it's not the company but yourself that is the source of this pressure.

    Recorded phone calls

    I agree! There have been several times dispatch has claimed I have accepted a load verbally when I have not. They threaten me with the: "I'm getting a supervisor to review the phone conversation." The recordings have always support my version of events. I think dispatch has a tendency to...

    Thoughts on Panther Expedite

    wheel polishers

    Frank, check out any truck stop and talk with expedite van owners who are sitting around, spitting and picking their noses. Most carry polishers and various polishing compounds and will do an excellent job of polishing and restoring your wheels for much less than the so called professional...
