Here is a quick way. Go to a place selling autobody repair materials. Tell the guy what you want to do. You will get a pack of fiberglass material. They will also give you some chemicals. You will basically wet the sheet of material with resin and then it will be laid over the hole. You will...

Mike, Did you know some WC's are now serving French Onion Cheeseburgers? Oh Lord. Not to mention Apple Juice. Not sure which of those are going to put them over the top but its all good. Raceman OTR O/O

That is a great story. Sorrry bout your clutch. It is nice to hear of good shops. I too will add one here. I had same experience with a place here in Sharonville Ohio just north of Cincinnati. Coyler and Sons truck service. Fantastic people, and quick service. Whatever happened to the listing...

I have it and I alos have Microsoft Streets and Trips. If you do a search you will see this topic has had a lot of discussion. I just posted a week a go about which one I consider the best. I much prefer MS&Ts. I have run them side by side on trips and MS&S has always beeen better. Read pasts...

Merc, no one said it was safe. But if I find a person on my tail they will get it with all I can give them. In my book they get 5 miles and two to three warnings of a tap of the brakes, if they remain there at 5.1 they get the lights and if that does not move them and I can determine they have...

The way I handled this was by installing two flood lights on my ICC bar and a switch on the dash. I simply throw those for a second or two and it takes care of the problem. I learned by accident. I had left my brights on behind a T/T. He finally flipped his floods on me. I got the point and...

When you enter the commercial truck driving field you will rarely find someone who will take you with less than two years exp. There are those out there that will take one year and a few that will take six months. It is very difficult but the easiest way to get this experience is to go to a...

RollingStock, Right On! I am an owner of a great big Ford Excursion with a wonderful V10. More powerful than a speeding bullet. I have driven 4x4s for many years and although they will pull, tug, yank, go through mud, snow, water etc., they will not stop any better tha anything else. Many of...

Tom, let me tell you this. You will only be hit with what you can bare. No more. You are also right in seeing that at some point you have to just laugh because it gets to the point where you realize none of this is very serious but it sure does drive one nuts. Also keep in mind that no good...

Well LDB I will tell you that the only thing additional that I got was more Headaches. There was no benefit at all that I saw and I had more than one truck and was with more than one carrier. None of them gave me any benefits. Now I have heard, only via the big nasty grapevine, that one of the...

RE: White Glove SHEESH! I never paid attention to this thread until this morning. I was bored and bingo, gave it a full read. I am going to throw in my two cents. There is no getting around the fact that we are all just Truck Drivers. Some drive and unload, some drive, some wear unifomrs and...

Cheri1122, what did you mean by that remark? I hope you were glad I commented and not trashing me for it. I simply thought you hit the nail on the head but said it a little more PC than I would have. When I am fired up about things that idiots do or dont do I normally put it pretty straight...

I sure have. Raceman OTR O/O

Cheri, you captured that very well. Alittle to PC for me but caputured and right on none the less. Raceman OTR O/O

No advice from here either but I agree with ATeam. I too was advised to go as a sole prop. This was from a Lawyer and CPA. I was told when I had drivers and more than one truck I should have at least went LLC but that is in the past so I am sticking with S.P. status. Good luck with ever you do...

What did I miss? Are you asking for new people or what? I was thinking the site seems quite but I thought was just the argueing had died off. As for new people, you all have opinions, it matters not how much experience you have. Common sence and logic are always welcomed. Raceman OTR O/O

Wait a minute. Did I read someone on here turned on the CB? LoL! Any truck and trailer service place sells them. That is your best bet and lowest price. Some times if you apy attention at docks where you drop you will see them just standing there. Talk to the dock workers. If they are unmarked...

Hawk is right on with his answer even though he will no longer answer my personal emails. He is correct with the 20% of truck income. I have mentioned in another POST that I think it may not be a bad idea to write a deal based on a weekly pay as long as the truck does X paid miles in that week...

The only reason to worry how well a carrier does in a certain area is when are thinking of home time. It is really not important how well they do out of there other to determine how likely you are to get to home area under load and load out after a break. I cannot speak for PII but as far as...
