Looking myself to start working hard like you next year whether its with the company I'm with now or some other company that runs SoCal local. I just don't want to be over the road anymore, even thou I'm happy with the change to expediting I did a year and a half ago.

Never knew running local was hard. For me that's what I'm looking for once I get back out to Ca. where I moved back too last month. Thing of just doing freight that either is 100% local nights in my own bed or a mix of local and regional, where I'm home at least every other night. I'm done with...

Something Apax72 should learn about business and its simple If you go out of business tomorrow the only people it affects is your family not mine or anyone's else's in the world. Just simple logic. Like others have said take care of your business and let the rest of us take care of ours. Most...

X2, can't agree more

No where have I seen a gun put to anyone's head to work in the industry and if a person doesn't like the rates he or she's paid they should find either a carrier that will pay more or leave the industry. Like others have said in their own ways we are our own worst enemy when it comes to trucking.

X2.. I don't work hard I work smart. I thought I had a bad year short of what I wanted to gross for the year by about 14K. Then I thought about the time I took off during the year and come to find out that I did good considering that fact 10 days in Fl in Jan BCO day and helping someone move...

Some states are pulling them over because they see the dual wheels.

If under 10001 GVWR you don't need any authority How do you know they don't have insurance, I do believe they have some type of insurance just to register the vehicle. See my first sentence and if under 10001 they cannot be running illegal. There not required to have a sleeper or any sleeping...

They don't have a name on the side of the door or a DOT number, because they are not commercial vehicles by DOT regulations.

But Turtle, that same 20 truck carrier can at anytime start to install them on a 6 truck per year and not have a large dollar hit. It comes down to understanding how to integrating the EOBR over time, just as large carries do now. Just as large carriers don't replace all the trucks at the same...

You make a statement in your reply, that small carriers would be forced out of business if they had to install a EOBR or Elog. Maybe you can explain how this would come about. If everyone is under the same rule, just as of right now nothing changes between paper and electronic logs, except that...

Moose, the Maryland Highway patrol was doing their job when they found the violations, I do believe the drivers were at fault for going over hours and not stopping sooner. Depending on where they were they could have stopped at the scale houses on 95 if they had the time to get there, Maryland...

Maybe you can explain how logging electronically is any different then logging with paper logs. I see no difference except that E logs do it by the minute. How would it tell you when to go to the bathroom or when to eat, it wouldn't. Therefore, please come up with a better example.

Sitting in Ontario Ca. at the TA east till tomorrow then to a picnic in Long Beach. Have Del on Tuesday in San Clemente at the Nuke plant

At home again, since LS is slow right now, I just checked and out of 100 vans we only have 11 with loads. Not good. Been this way for the last month with a max of 30% of them loaded on some days with about 20% loaded on average. Anyone else this slow on the B and SuperB

Looks like I'll be there, since I cannot buy a load out of Dallas for over a week. LS is getting real slow all of a sudden.

Your net is after overhead and expenses.

If you have a COSTCO membership they have a 24 hour fitness 2 year membership for 350 bucks the only ones you cannot go to are the super sports and Ultra sport. Most I've seen you can get a straight truck into. This is a good buy since most gyms charge 39 and up per month for memberships.

They have been using the hair drug test in other industries for years, it just took trucking longer to get to this type of drug test. Yep it stays longer and just think of drivers that are in the industry that do drugs and are called in for a random, there won't be any masking of drug use...

This is a lesson for all new buyers out there if its a as-is warranty take the vehicle to someone else to be inspected before buying. Does what I say mean anything when it comes to a vehicle breaking down in the first day nope, happens all the time.
