As you read this note keep in mind I drive and own straight trucks and a tractor daycab now and then. I do not know your business but I spoke to a guy this afternoon and ran this by him as something I had heard. He told me that some companies do this so you can not pick up back haul for another...

Thanks for the info I will look them up. Even if they can not help me I bet they know other places. Thanks again. ---Why hug a tree when you can let your best freind talk you into getting into some stupid plan with cheap trucks that will most likely never see freight. Oh I'm sorry I have...

I just spoke to a freind and he said once the drop is done and you remove your signs, that is your vehicle. He hauls under his own authority but did not know how this would be different. It must be as others are saying and have something to do with your contract but he still says it makes no...

I tell you the more I think about this I am just not sure how that can be. Maybe you should run it by the insurance folks. This does not make sence if I am understanding what you are driving. I hope you find a better answer but this is sounding right. raceman

Does anyone know of a website for junk yard trucks? What I am looking for is a place to buy some specific parts off of junked trucks. I had a place in northern Ohio and have lost it. Some of the stuff I can find on ebay but I would love a website that I could do some searching. I am looking for...

I am glad to hear this bit of Great news. I have heard so many negitive stories that a spirit lifter like this is great. Your good mood comes across in your update post and I am sure it will continue as your wheels roll. Great to hear and keep on trucking and continued success. raceman

Yes I get a message saying there are errorsraceman

I don't think that makes since. Once you dropped in your type of truck you were then on personal time. Better call safety. I agree with Glen. raceman

Hey X1, Spoken like a true, well you know what I am going to say. Is it possible to organize it differently where the same ole same ole is maybe day one and two for all the new folks and then day three,or something like that is all the nice new stuff about the new company? I had given up on this...

I agree with most of that Dreamer. I jsut had a talk yesterday about company meetings, updates on people and postions. I was askingif there was someway to get those updates and learnings. I am going to stick to my guns on orientation. If there are folks attending it that have been throughparts...

A-Team, that was a great note and you say some things that are very true. I too was in a position where I had to attend training like you decribed. I also could not help but notice everything you mentioned in your note is what No Problem was okay with. I am good with that as well. I do not want...

A driver that used to run for me had one in the truck. I have no idea how he had it all hooked up but he did it in my truck and had to add nothing but a bigger inverter. He secured it with rubber straps. He loved it. When I looked in it seemed to be a bit much room taken up. I am about to get...

You are most likely right as always here Tom but I offer you a thought not having looked into this at all but having a lot of expereince with the government, FDA. You can abbreviate some things in some cases and it may require thinking or just looking outside the box. This can be delt with most...

There you go NO PROBLEM! See you do know what I am talking about. I never used the word guarentee. Many people will and do tell new owners or drivers who are looking at signing up, that they are going to run x amount of miles and they will never sit for extended periods of time and they are this...

I agree completely. You may be told by others you are moving around too much. I on the other hand feel moving until you find what you want is a good thing. I agree with your point and if companies are going to continue exchanging trucks and drivers they might want to look at the critria for...

Hi folks, I am two for two today. I knew this would go very well but was unsure if it would read as I meant it. I want to say my point was missed. I did not want to say that we should burn bridges. I was simply showing what it would be like and hoping it would cause some folks to think about the...

Okay that is fine. I want no free ride. I have no problem with that and as long as that is the approach I will take it as such. Sorry I asked. I was just interested. I have no plans to do anything near what Tom is doing and I explained to him I simply would like the to understand more about the...

Glen, Thanks and I agree. I do not run for LandStar. I lease my trucks to Express1. I undertsand your position but there are many complaining about the fact that they sign on to run and instead they sit. I can see answers for both that would be helpful. Those who enjoying seeing the country and...

In the past few days myself and others have posted topics about helping each other. Good service, bad service, helping others on the road side and so on. This is all fantastic stuff and I hope we do work as one big team. I also look back over the last few weeks and there was much talk about how...
