Know your pain, slow freight, favors failing and the like. Of course you are NOT whining, finally people understand that about these types of posts. Either that or they are slow too and don't want to admit it. Good luck, hang in there, it's going to pick up... "Bruises fade and bones will...

I....don't.....think.....I.....should.... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

He has been talking to his trainer about this. His trainer has been with Swift a very long time. Even though it's only been 3 days, they really like one another and are talking about all aspects of the industry. The one reason his trainer doesn't do flatbed is because of his obligations at home...

I don't get it. It's not an inconvenience to use plastic grocery bags as trash bags, tie the handles off and then put them in waste cans at truckstops or stores; ziploc type bags for cigarette butts; bathrooms are plentiful. Ok, so in the winter I traipse through a parking lot in sweats...

Jeffman told me about a couple in a short-wheel base, regular roof van that had 3 medium to large sized dogs plus 2 cats and another woman in a S/T that had 2 cats. I love my cats...enough that I know they are better off and happier at home with their "grandma" taking care of them. They have...

I don't know except perhaps there is something within their processing or handling of the product. My baby, Hidalgo, gets colic from certain brands of fuel but yet is happy as a clam with others. I put Pilot gas in him ONE time. Five miles down the road an IP message popped up: "I thought you...

If ya only knew...how many truckstops on our evening walks..."Oooh, look a dropdeck"..."I wanna do a dropdeck"...."It will take me awhile to get the experience to qualify"...."Oooh, look a dropdeck" I can see that in the future.

Truth is, he calls ME his "Little Cousin Itt"...you should see my hair in the morning...no, wait, no you shouldn't. No one should. Though I admit, his hair is about 2" longer than mine.

The flatbed points are on his con list. Also, vehicle hauling has similar drawbacks. Right now he will play it by ear, listen to others in truck stops, and not grind gears or jake brake for fun. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

No. No he doesn't. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Thank you OVM, on both counts. Paullud: he has mentioned it in passing, so he is mulling it over. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Jeffman had his c/v done by a guy who did it on the side of his construction business. Found him through our local Craigslist. Jeff put an ad out for "Wanted: Spray Foam Insulation For Van Cargo Hold". Ceiling and walls done. Just an FYI: be prepared for condensation in the winter. Although we...

Doesn't he look so grown up now? Last word: the trainer hadn't kicked him out of the truck yet. Thanks, highway star! "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

On his way to Memphis! "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Jeffman and I were at Ground Zero 11 months ago. 2:30 am, raining, no one around. Anything, anywhere else, it would merely be a construction site. Not here, not knowing what happened. Goosebumps, lump in the throat. In March, we went to Shanksville, PA. To the unknowing, it's just a field. Tears...

The hard part would be leaving this house, but a freshened exterior will make it less painful, because it doesn't look exactly the same as when my late husband and I bought it. Whatever the real definition, I sincerely doubt Jeff had that in mind when he told me to hang onto them, LOL "Bruises...

From a Flint band, "Lordd Virgil"...don't think Flint is going to adopt this as its theme song anytime soon. For those of you who detest metal, you probably won't like this; save for the truth in the lyrics. Flint MI - Lordd Virgil - BANNED in China - YouTube Some people may find some...

Well, I see no reason NOT to discuss CDL training schools. For one, as pointed out earlier in this thread, there are some companies who prefer drivers, buckboard on up, to possess a valid CDL. Some people, after expediting for 109 years (or 8), hanging out at J's and Wally's across the country...

When he said "we" were going to do a total tearout, I about fainted. One yew was painstakenly brought back from the brink of death, the arborvitae had to be hacked back from the walkway and reshaped (some idjit attempted to 'terrace cut' them, it took SEVEN years to get them normal). There was...

In July, Jeffman164, a landscape architect and installer, informed me my dated landscape (started by the original owners in 1970), should probably "go". I was advised to "hold on to my zsazsas" Okay, I have now let go of my zsazsas...I never did figure out what those were, but they sound...
