    Slow Freight IVX....

    It's not you driver ..... if there is no freight to haul, we all sit! The worldwide economy is in the crapper, it will get much worse before we see a turnaround. Now might be a good time to evaluate your finances and determination to be doing this job. And loose the "miles" mentality...

    Glenn Beck makes GBTV Official

    I agree, in his early years, when he was still recovering from his downfall, and I mean back in the 90's, he was a great show to listen to. Had a lot of good comedy spots on, now it seems his way out there concept is all sorta comedy. And xm radio has him on TWO channels at 9am ... hard to get...

    On Spot Automatic Chains

    Why do you need chains in the first place? Ever read the back of that sign? "Driver, go to bed, it's dangerous out here. It'll be better tomorrow" In over 41+ years of trucking, I have NEVER installed chains. If the road is that bad, I don't need to be out there. Period.

    good questions from newbies to recruiters

    Recuriters should state, plainly and simply, here is our data your experience may not be the same. I have found that often, what the recuriter said, was not what the recruitee heard. Couple that with a person that does not have the desire to succeed, and you have a reciept for distaster...

    Expedite Questions

    To the best of my knowledge, ALL states have adopted Federal guidelines ... the exception might be if you are doing INTRA state freight, in the state which you are based. Some of the "states only" rules are indeed different. Vans, under 10,000k, engaged in interstate commerce do NOT log...

    Expedite Questions

    Logs are NOT required for vehicles under 10,000 ...... unless ... you are transporting hazmat requiring placards. So, HOS would only apply to placarded loads, at that time, yes, the rules would be the same as semi drivers.
