Charles, I know what you mean but I swear I find it easier to do that with a T/T tha a car. Once you do it, it just seems simple and it makes since to me why it is so simple. Maybe it is my simple mind. Raceman OTR O/O

RE: Getting starting in expedited/hot shot truckin Well I will say I am glad see a few folks refering to HotShotting. It is for selfish reasons though. There used to be a member on here that did not realize Hot Shot was still a business and for those reasons I would get dumped on when I refered...

To real honest with you, I suggest you get an Accountant and just report your info monthly or quarterly to him or her. You will make out better in the long run. If you simply insist on doing it yourself then be prepared to prove everything you report, be prepared to miss out on a number of...

I am with you on the thew shine Flame. I just put new polished Aluminum rims on my truck and Oh do I love those babies. They are accuride and talk about a better ride. It is great. Hey by the way did your truck used to be an ABlair truck? Looks like those Tom has. Raceman OTR O/O

Mvbn1, Thank you for your support on this topic. I am sick and tired of over hearing people talk about us as nasty mouth slobs. It simply is not true in most cases. I have seen plenty of expediters and T/T drivers who look very presentable and many of the folks are actually very proffessional...

One of my ex drivers went into this line of work. Two months later the poo had hit the fan. They pulled their own vehicle to get home in or they had to bus or fly at their expense.$0.75 a mile one way. They were out of that in no time. It is not heaven from what I know of it Raceman OTR O/O

All good advice. Be sure you get the A. Do not stop at a B. The A gives you many more options. As for being a bit shy of a TT. Did you know it, in my opinion is easier to paralle park a T/T than it is a car. The joint lets you slide it right in a spot. Raceman OTR O/O

This is not an uncommon practice. People are becoming so bad at showing up on time or at all that places have had to start this. This goes on in a lot of training situations and they always tell you up front so you clearly know the rules and expectations and what happens if you blow it. I am...

Well, they picked up the last of it all today. Truck that is. I am now just a driver. No more Owner status. Man does this feel good. Any bets on how long it will take before I get bored with just driving and do something else stupid? :) Raceman OTR O/O

Hey Lawrence can you send me some of those stickers as well? Flame your picture always reminded me of Dale E. but in person you dont look as much like him. Ha I kill me :) Raceman OTR O/O

I got to meet Flamemerc today at one of my pickups. He was driving a Good Looking silver truck with big red E1 on it. He was not having a great night which I will let him share but it was nice to meet him. I also enjoyed a few moments on the chat last night until geo said he had to go and I got...

I will be short with my answer. If someone knew when this would turn around and when to add more trucks they would quickly be rich. This is hard to predict. I will tell you be careful of adding more trucks without a lot of research and very deep thought. I would also reccomend some kind of...

Thank you for bring this up. This is a hot topic for me but I never wated to just preach on it. Now I can say what I want to as a response. Let me say I have four children 16 to 26 and they all do very well for themselves and I can tell you I was never happier than the days when each of them...

When running with major players none of my trucks carried loads that required all 22 feet of the boxes more than about 2 or 3% of the time. The job I am doing with one of my trucks now requires a 22 foot box about 80% of the time. It is my opinion that if you can get 22foot you should have it...

You can get those kind of runs if you hang out in the right place in Texas and or up in Mich. I don't suggest you take them but if you want a big bundle it can be done. You can also pick them up in Miami. Raceman OTR O/O

LDB, I have three adult children that I put in cars at 16 and God do I have some stories. I have been lucky as each of them has been a great student so I have had that discount and they have all got in to something that showed they were very mature and responsible so I got those discounts. Well...

LDB is right about the lists. You can also get yourself put on those lists so folks can find you as well. Let me just say this to you. I have operated a few trucks over the last couple of years and have been very let down by drivers. My trucks are straight trucks but that really makes no...

Let me tell you that I see Tri State TT everyday. There are actually some of the best looking tractors I have ever seen that run for them. A couple of them I loaded with about two months ago had big paintings on the sleepers. Just fantastic trucks. I see them all the time at the transmission...

Robert, Thanks very much for taking the time to share your input with examples. Your points are not only well taken but all very true. You are right and I never looked at it with all your points. I think I will keep my mouth shut and enjoy this while it lasts. I do it six days a week and it is...

I pulled in to our terminal this morning at 1:30. There was a PantherII truck and another one on a tow truck. As I backed in and did my thing they dropped the one off the hook. The PII driver then started the truck and backed it up to dock to unload. Hmmmmm? After getting out of my truck and...
