Danny is right - there is a need for vans, a lot of smaller stuff has to get there quick, too. Bigger doesn't mean better, right? There are drivers who seem really anxious to work, too, until they've done it for a couple weeks - then you have to go get your vehicle back from wherever they left...

I guess the "hidden message" went right over my head, but one thing stood out - it took 30 YEARS for the wage to get up to $11 an hour? And people still think unions have led this country to ruination?!

That's a LOT better than the Fruit Of The Loom Guys, who are stuck in MY head now, thank you very much!:P How 'bout "I Can See Streets & Trips By The Dashboard Light"? ;)

Looks like the problem here is the term "financial statements" - if that means settlements from the carrier, I agree with Thawk, the driver is entitled to see them, & may spot items the owner overlooked (especially if the owner is running more than one driver). But if "financial statements"...

>I like it! We are all waiting for the second verse. Me too, Moot - me too. But thanks to OB2, I've already started on "Heard It Through The Qualcomm" & am trying to find out if The California Raisins are available to record it....:D

My 16 yr old daughter & her many friends actively (to say the least) enjoy a variant called "Padiddle" (have no idea if that's how it's spelled, & neither does Spellcheck) involving vehicles with one headlight out, & I wonder: is this a regional thing? Moot: Punch buggy! No punch backs! (My...

Hope the gloves help you avoid eating the junk food that adds size to some drivers - cause with that sleeper, you can't afford to gain an ounce, lol. :P Great photo, though, thanks for posting it. :)

Of course the fuel prices are keeping drivers away, though there may be some who are just waiting until prices go down some. Plus, 60% of the revenue from a van isn't enough to pay expenses, for many people - but there are some who can make it work, so you may find a driver yet. The nutjobs...

Not even with three margaritas & a severe case of laryngitis, lol.

"Driver entry looks awkward"? It looks darn near impossible! :P And Rex - if any of us could help ourselves, this site wouldn't be half as much fun! :+ Satnav aside, is it a 'Sprinter Killer'? Or a Sprinter Copycat?

O, give me a run Where construction's all done, And the traffic jams are far away, Where I won't spend my time Just waiting in line, And the slow pokes get out of my way! Home, home, on the road, Going to deliver this load, I'll drive here to there, How far? I don't care - (I had a...

I'd like to add my thanks to you for sharing your experience. We all like to share the good stuff, but would rather keep the misjudgements to ourselves, so I know it wasn't easy for you. Putting it out there, though, might give pause to someone who is ready to go buy that pricey Sprinter, or...

Count me in - Sat afternoon, please, wherever you can use me. Just tell me where to go - I'm used to that, lol. We're gonna have a good time! :)

Greg: Bravissimo! I think you handled it just right - everyone was happy, no? Still, you might want to avoid that particular Starbucks in the future - they might learn that you deceived them, you know...is Signore Bezzare even alive, still? Or did you make him up entirely? ;)

The most wickedness I get up to these days is moving all the utensils on the buffet from the right side to the left :P Cheri

I was in Pa all weekend, but not on the road or at a truckstop - was at my daughter's, enjoying the family I hadn't seen since Christmas. They live on top of a hill that I doubt I could get a straight truck up, but the view is killer, and if little girls blowing bubbles in the sunshine doesn't...

So many questions - so few answers, aaaarg! I can't remember exactly what the first repair cost, & don't have the info at my fingertips, (I'm on the road, in Va, at the moment), but I do know that it cost less, including the tow charge, than the second repair, which did not require a tow. The...

That's Amore! ;)

Very few owners will pay for fuel, for the very good reason that they have no control over how much of it you use. Some drivers can be incredibly waseful, between bad driving habits, getting lost, sightseeing, personal errands, etc. Perhaps you could drive for an owner who is with a carrier that...

Having had the second repair done, (& paid for) already, that's not possible. I can, however, write a nice letter, informing the shop owner of my request, (reimbursement for the second repair, AND the load I was forced to transfer because of it), and what I can do should he not comply - starting...
