    Turtle, You are so right but not dead on. I have said I am not posting before. I will speak for myself here and say, I said it so those that had become freinds would know where I disappeared too. Now Dave may have another reason I don't know. I will also say you are dead on about the internet...

    Are you true owner operator? with FCC

    rfrogger, I had hoped someone else would address your question about a union. Maybe they did not answer on purpose. Man o man you do not want that and a union would really not address the original post anyway. This business is about as good as it can get. For the most part you are an O/O but...

    This week's DOT inspections

    I look at these just as I look at DUI check points. DO THEM! I have nothing to hide nor should anyone else and it can point out things that you may have not caught or something that has happened since you pre tripped. I agree with LDB. It should be all the time. There are too many people...

    Whatever Happened To Just Being Honest?

    Having run for a few companies now, I will tell you I don't think anyone anywhere ever tells the real story. Lets face it, they want your truck on board. No pun intended. I don't feel anyone really does all they tell you they do, from tow assist to pay per mile. I think it comes down to picking...

    Greg, Your insurance numbers sound low to me. Not sure what your 5500 got you but the figures I have been given for everything was about 12,000 a year. I have been down this road many times without ever pulling the trigger but I will say I went through, to some extent, everything KW mentions...

    What ever happened to common courtesy????

    To address the fridge size, well it matters not what size it is, you have to start up to charge batteries now and then. Actually a dome light light will kill batteries quicker than a fridge. In any case as I said above got to idel now and then for a few to cover that. Draco, I really do hear...
