    OTR WARNING

    Thanks to all who are commenting on my note. I am having a tough time getting much help in getting anything done with these folks but atleast I know folks have been through it or at least want to be sure it happens to no one else. The BBB in Central Indiana is still working on this and I hope...

    Load refusals

    I am unaware of any company putting that in up front agreement but I do know many companies do count those up. I bet I can guess who you drive for with a load offer like that. Someone else responded to you by saying, "Be a Business person first". That is how you must look at loads or you will...

    RE: how can i get in touch with truck owners looki Hi, I am a recruiter and a fleet owner.

    OTR WARNING

    Not sure what Tony was referring to in his last reply. I had no choice in fixing my truck. This is a truck that I have a driver in and it was on the highway. It needed transmission work and my driver, a young lady, had no idea how to pull that out, get a tranny or anything like that. We were not...

    removing old decals

    I have had to remove decals many times. Get your self a good razor straight knife, like used for wall paper removal. Go to a autopaint store and ask for the best grease and grime remover. Used to prep autos for paint. Start with an adhesive release product and the knife. Follow that with the...

    I own Fl70s and FL80s and they have Spicer 7 speeds in them. I just had big problems and I did a lot of research on that tranny. R and first are not synced and they do tend to be positions of problems. If you have a Spicer and want more info let me know and I can give you some numbers to call as...

    Who Drives for an O/O???

    Hey! I am an owner and I employee drivers. The advice you have been given is all very good and very true. I disagree with the one who called us all sleezeballs. You need to know as much as you can about the owner. Talk to drivers and contact the HR person at the company where they lease on. I...

    Night driving.

    raceman Before I owned my own trucks, night time was the only time I drove. The trucking business is really very much about night time driving. I find it odd but most of my night driving seems to happen when I go south. I do agree that is most likely 70/30 with the night time winning out. Hey I...

    Tri-State or Conway now

    raceman I ran Teams and Solos with Tri State. Overall I think it is a good company. I was very happy there as a team. Solo was too much dead head and short runs. As a team the truck was rarely turned off or not moving with freight. The down side to Tri State is that they do not help their...
