    EO, Facebook, or ????

    The number of regulars seem to shrink monthly. I heard all the regular posters were going to have dinner together at the Expo but the big booth at Denny’s was taken. So, is everybody on Facebook? Or doing something else ? If you don’t do Facebook, why ? If you do EO and Facebook how do you...

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    You’re not supposed to compete with a team. They should do team freight, at a better rate, and you should do solo work. I never tried to compete with a van. If it would fit in a van, I gave my normal rate. And I didn’t expect to get it. If I saw that it wouldn’t fit in a van, I’d analyze...

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Hey, we all should be everybody’s bodyguard. All looking out for each other. You guys got me thinking, thank god Layout Shooter isn’t involved, and getting me thinking is no easy task. Faster transit times are ok. For the trip, not for the vehicle. If you can improve loading, routing ...

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Teams are making vans less safe ? There’s van logic for you. How about anything direct over 750 miles has to be in a team truck? No team van available? Make them pay for a team straight or team TT. Remember, it’s all for safety. Money should never be placed before safety.

    Truckstop or company TV Lounages. The best reason to invest in a straight with an Onan and satellite TV. I can’t deal with the driver’s commentary, and/or being so loud you can’t hear the TV. Only thing worse is guys insisting they need to see Money Train AGAIN, which is more important than...

    Drive away gig

    In busy areas there are driveway outfits that work the auction. Retired people and casuals. Always thought it’d be a $7-10 per hour job., The trick is you have to return to the auction to get your personal car. The company runs shuttle busses or chase cars. The dealer owns the car. He has...

    Physical/ med card

    This seems very important to you for some reason. I’d go tomorrow. It’ll take a few days to do background checks etc. Doesn’t appear to be enough of an issue to go to a sub-par company over.

    Physical/ med card

    Turtle, if my card expires October 20 and I fail a physical on Oct 1st, can I drive on the original until Oct 20th, the day it expires ? I wouldn’t think so. You’d be driving while you know you’re physically unfit.

    Physical/ med card

    If you have a one year card, there’s a reason. Aug 20 to October. 6-10 weeks. I’d want a fresh one for three reasons. 1) Why invest in you when you may leave in a matter of weeks if you fail your next physical? 2) you may not be as healthy as you were 10 months ago. 3) signing you on now or soon...

    //// Looking to go big time - Info on Drivers ////

    He’s optimistic, seems to be able to roll with the punches. And he yearns for our knowledge. It’s easy to get the poking stick out for him. In a way I’m rooting for him.....but don’t want to give him false hope. I’m not going to invest in his business model. Early on, I thought he was just...

    //// Looking to go big time - Info on Drivers ////

    Be sure your guys over 10,001 lbs have current medical cards. Your insurance agent I would think would be a good source for how bad is too bad . Pay should be similar to what others in your area pay. I wouldn’t expect to find guys that would sleep in that equipment. If they do in an...

    Big Truck How long out before home time?

    Then they probably sold it to you. Or it may be included In non commercial rentals. Hell,I can’t even rent a car without proof of insurance. Of course I don’t have that honest looking face that you have.
