Hahaha...Dave that may or may NOT be a good thing :D wet dirt...the smell of a coming rain

Streakin, this is an excellent post! We all should be reminded to be attentive to our surroundings and to be a little more cautious than we might have been in the past.

Yes it is Highwaystar...so here we are. ;) Take a breath folks, this change is not earth shattering.

We've found very few truck stops that are not smoke free now. I remember there were a few restaurants that had a completely separate dining room, behind glass walls and with ventilation systems for smokers. (Ft. Wayne and a place in GA come to mind). Even these places have gone completely...

Boy do I feel like a doofus!! :p We have the same setup and that's an EXCELLENT idea!

The article takes what is a legitimate problem in some cases, and turns it into a "scare piece" for the masses. Typical reporting :mad: I constantly get " Oh, you drive too?" :rolleyes:

Best thing you could do is read back through the forums. There is also a classified section on EO that lists fleet owners that are looking for drivers.

We've also called a few times. One night in IL, an elderly gentleman pulled out of the rest area headed in the wrong direction. Luckily, a trooper came just after he figured out he was going the wrong direction and was headed back into the rest area. We called 3 times about a drunk on I80 in...

We have a great owner!! Excellent equipment, on time pay, etc. He provides us with one of "Col's" RV's ;) If we were ever to buy our own truck we would go with a smaller sleeper, larger box, dual axles, Onan generator, rooftop A/C, wabasto heater, large refrigerator, micro convection oven...

Jdevidts, Would it be possible to post a picture of your truck so that we can see it? How does a steerable axle work? Could you explain please?

Great Job!!!! Thank you for posting of the experience, many can learn from the description.

We are home in Eastern NC and we had just a few flakes. Waiting for a load now, and we've decided we'd like to go SOUTH :D

This doesn't sound right. If he doesn't pass, that isn't USA's fault, so why would USA release him without making him pay for the cost of the school? If it is right, I think I'd do as Charlee suggested, if he never plans on driving a tractor trailer. Have you considered "teaming" with your...

This thread has been niggling on my mind since I made my response. Shooter, you bring up a point. We've not encountered a load that we would consider "morally" wrong. That isn't to say that we've not hauled something that someone else considers wrong. Example, we've hauled alcohol in all...

Although I always thought that a trip to Alaska would be an interesting adventure, I wouldn't want to make the trip in the winter. We experienced -40 in North Dakota a few weeks ago and it's something I don't ever want to go through again. When I think about how it might be with no real...

As others have stated, if it isn't illegal, then it isn't my place to make a judgment. It's freight

I was going to ask you if that was an option with FDCC. With Panther, we could run DDP runs with 1 cleared and the other in the process. We could not run PSS until both had clearance. We have had runs that didn't require a clearance, but both drivers had to be US citizens.

A blast from the past :D Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Yep...trapped in Michigan, turning down loads that don't pay enough to move the truck. Did someone mention SPRING? if not..... I will!!!! SPRING

We stumbled upon the EO booth at MATS as well. We were with Millis Transfer at the time running their "recruiting" trailer. We spoke to Lawrence and also to Phil (although I doubt that either would remember that) :p EO has been a wealth of information for us and continues to be. Whenever we...
