Well OVM, I will have to say Brian is one of the nicest and most honest owners you will find out here in this industry. I say that and very much mean it. If he is getting a bonus for his trucks then I am happy for him. There are a lot of expenses involved in owning these trucks, truck payment...

Well ahhhhh. . . No Steady Eddie lol guess I didn't. Guess I thought you just clicked on the little post a reply button? So I clicked on the little button and a little ruler jumped out and whacked my fingers. Said I didn't have permission to post in that forum. lol :D

Actually the checks are random. We know a couple that went to Canada frequently. They went to pass through customs an a random check was done on the husband and something came up from years past. He was turned back. They said the wife would have to leave the husband at the border and deliver the...

Hmmm tried to answer a question by Jack in the E-1 forum but it wouldn't let me post there. lol Jacks question was "what went on" concerning the last 2009 telephone conference. I did have the opportunity to listen in on the conference call and was totally amazed. They were speaking of the...

:eek: Oh My, glad someone is busy, we certainly aren't. This November has been the worst month since we started driving 3 1/2 years ago. Total miles for Nov 8008. Picked up a load on Wed - Laredo to Evansville IN. Sitting at the FJ in Huabstadt IN waiting to deliver on Monday.

LOL I always read the contract now! Burn me once shame on you burn me twice shame on me! :D How about "you need to stay there until you get a load" as your sitting in the middle of no where a couple hundred miles from civilization. lol

Ya know nightcreacher what I really think is this. . . there are going to be those of us that think Panther is the best carrier, there are going to be those of us that think Tri-State is the best carrier, there are going to be those of us that think Express-1 is the best carrier, or Bolt, or...

Thanks inkasnana. Appreciate the help. :)

Let's put it like this . . . Day after day I go out'n my yard and start plucking out the weeds and a puttin out the sprinklers and workin my hinny off trying to get me a lush green lawn. Day after day I look over ta my neighbor and thar she lays on a lounge chair on her soooo peerfect lawn. I...

Sometimes shippers do that. :o They will call several carriers and book the load, then whoever gets there first gets the load. Usually carriers pay the truck a dry run when that happens. If I were you I would bill the shipper a dry run as it took your time and fuel to go pick up the load only to...

We're still sitting at the TA in Lodi, OH. Dropped Thursday morning in Detroit. Was 16th out. Moved up to Toledo was 14th out. Moved on up to Lima was 7th out. Sat there a couple days finally moving up to 1 out, E-1 called with a load picking up in IN and bringing back to OH, 72 miles to pickup...

:eek: ROFL Yeah Desperado there was some other reason, we left cause the owner pulled our truck! hee hee hee Kinda hard to roll without wheels hee hee hee lol :D

Have no idea what deal your speaking of OVM? All I know is that we were kicking miles with TS. :o

Well, don't know how it is with everyone else but we have sat for 5 out of the past 7 days. So far no load for this week-end either. Means we will be sitting for 8 out of 10 days. 1181 miles for the week. Hmmmmm Not Good! :o

The best a dispatcher has said to me was "well, you probably won't get a load tomorrow morning or tomorrow night, or maybe even the next day but your the only truck in the area so you should just stay there until you get a load!" :eek: ROFLMAO yep, I was programimg the GPS to get the heck out of...

Yes it does make a difference who the dispatcher is. With Tri-State my favorite dispatcher was Lou Ann. I accepted some loads from her that I would have turned down if anyone else asked. There were other dispatchers I would accept yucky loads from as well just because I liked him or her. The...
