When we started almost a year ago, we had no recent experience driving a straight. Our only options were Panther or FedEx Custom Critical. Every other company we spoke to required at least 6 months recent experience. (We were told this was due to insurance requirements.) We chose FedEx. FedEx...

Pontoon Beach J. Good week! Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums

Pembroke, NY at the TA. Pickup in Buffalo later headed to Chicago, then a nice Saturday run.

We recently dead headed a little over 500 miles from the house in OH to do a 10 mile run in NC. We were happy with the pay, and it put us in a good location to start the week. Just really depends on the situation. We look at total pay and total miles, then location.

Pickup in NC tomorrow headed to CT. Spending the night in hot & humid Savannah, GA. Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums

When we do need to be home, we start limiting the loads we'll take about two weeks in advance; no California or western US. Nothing west of the Mississippi in the week prior. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We try to get the deadhead down to less than 400 miles. Since we only try to get home...

Tell them you really need to get a load going in the opposite direction. Lol. Really depends on where you live. We live in Ohio and rarely get a load offer going there.

Paris Island, SC - Had the honor and privileged of attending my nephew's Marine Corps boot camp graduation this morning. Made me realize that as long as we continue to produce young men and women like the ones I watched march across the parade grounds this morning, all is not lost for our...

Heading to Paris Island, South Carolina to see my Nephew graduate from Marine Corps boot camp on Friday :-) Yep, a little proud!

We keep the doors locked at all times, even driving down the highway. Sent from my DROIDX using EO Forums

Baltimore south TA. Hot. Delivered in a DC suburb yesterday, lots of downed trees and non-working red lights. Cell phones were out for a few hours. Need to head back toward Florida to cool off!

Good luck, Monty. Hope you and the wife have a great time RVing! Tell her we said "hello"! Maybe we'll run into you two out here sometime :-)

I think in the long run this will hurt Obama's reelection campaign more than it will help. Charges up the opposition and gives the Republicans ammunition. Country is still in deep trouble either who wins.

According to this ruling, anything as long as it is a "tax". You know things like sugar, stamps and tea, I guess, if they wanted to impose such "taxes".

They are coming on as D trucks into the FedEx fleet. We can haul over 13,000# in our old Red KW DR truck with the tag axle down, and close to 5000# with it up. Take away the weight of the reefer unit, tag axle, lift gate and the extra weight in the box due to insulation and heavier construction...

The new "Red KW's" (cleverly disguised as White Cascadias) are surface D trucks. Apparently, the largest fleet owner in the industry still believes in the "D" :-)

Bordentown, our second home.

Read it again. I think "ending all government intervention" would about cover that :-) Actually, some (minimal) regulation is probably needed, but it should only be applied equally, favoring no particular sector or business over another. Hard to do.

I don't think we are too far off from each others thinking. I would like to see the end to all government intervention in the economy. No tax breaks, subsides, bailouts or other help to any private business, big or small. Level the playing field so to speak. Likewise, I'd also like to see an...

No much would change. Those businesses would most likely suffer, but the markets would adjust. Other companies would prosper. What happened to keeping government out of the private sector?
