    A word of caution to the EO community about DVT and blood clots.

    The hematologists and geneticist have said clots are more common by lifestyle and secondary health issues: smoking, inactivity, diabetes, high cholesterol. The genetic angle is more uncommon. My mom's case, she doesn't smoke, drink, is active, no contributing health factors. Given that, they...

    A word of caution to the EO community about DVT and blood clots.

    These things are insidious, because they feel like something else, as you stated, a pulled muscle. My mother has been prone to blood clots since she was 22. Four years ago she started getting them one after another, as soon as her coumadin therapy was done, she had another. It was found out...

    lifetime ban for cell phone violation - PANTHER

    Chimps? Stupid? I have to heartily disagree. I think the majority of drivers are above average intelligence and self-sufficient, otherwise they couldn't make this gig work for them. Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    Yes, very true. Many high grossing vanners are out 4-6 weeks at a stretch then home for 2-3 days, back out for weeks at a time again. Be prepared to miss holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, non-immediate family functions such as weddings, graduation parties, even funerals. 2011 we celebrated...

    Great app for scanning paperwork

    Downloaded, tested it, really like it. I should probably tell Jeffman since I set it up in his name, huh? Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    You can talk to 100 expediters and they will all have different gross pay figures. What type vehicle are they driving? Who do they run for? Do they run for more than one? Are they in customarily good freight areas or do they d/h a lot (eating a chunk of their gross)? There is no way of making...

    Great Lakes

    Charter is a good idea...unless one enjoys the maintenance of a boat. The Ski Supreme, before that the Rinkerbuilt, before that the Imperial...the list is endless and so are their maintenance schedules. Of course we are in a climate where the darn things have to be winterized and stored. That's...

    Great Lakes

    This is from my facebook where the conversation started about the Titanic disaster 100th anniversary and ended up about the Great Lakes (don't ask): "You can't trust a Great Lake. None of them" Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    Life threatening storms this weekend

    Great. Jeff is in SW KY with the Sprinter...same Sprinter who just got repaired after it was in a bad storm 6 weeks ago. Hope he can get away before they move in on him. If not, please, Lord, spare Jeff...but total the Sprinter this time. Thank you. Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    Just remember, it is "expedite", i.e."emergency freight". It isn't dedicated freight. Yohann Yoder at ACME Products has to screw up an order, Wiley Coyote is going to need more bird seed, or something has to break down in order to have cargo. It is anything but consistent. Bank on nothing. You...

    anyone here having trouble getting payed from ?

    His accountant took all his money? And some thugs stole his computers hence the reason some drivers never got their 1099s for 2011? Golly, I don't know about driving for someone whose luck is so incredibly bad ;) Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    19 healthy foods we should watch, its depressing IMHO>

    Truth! Since my disposition plan is cremation, I feel the need to keep a layer of fat on me to help fuel that fire. The crematory will use less energy that way. Chubby is the new green mindset. Sent from my ADR6300 using EO Forums

    CDL-B and SSD

    As stated in other posts, one can work and earn a specified amount even when drawing SSD. Both are right. It just depends on the type of work. Repetitive shifting for someone with an upper back/neck issue would be frowned upon by the federales.

    CDL-B and SSD

    You can work and earn "x" amount, but it's the type of work you do too that matters. She couldn't do this for very long, with the repetitive upper body motion. Then she would be 100% out of the game and Uncle Barry would want all his money back and then some. Best to leave it alone in her case...

    To Post or Not To Post - That Be The Question Y'all

    Anytime I tried to warn I was accused of lying and stirring trouble. Once, when a different thread appeared 4 months later bemoaning the same carrier which I warned about, I just shook my head, laughed out loud, and returned to my MahJong game. You can try to warn and help, but many won't...
