    They Drive Among Us

    This driver had a prior DUI but the article I read didn't mention if it was in a CMV or not.

    OFFICIAL: I'll Be Home For Christmas Thread

    I got home yesterday. Got a load to Memphis and then one up to Coffeyville, KS. Like the drink only spelled different. Went up to KC Wednesday night and then deadheaded home from there yesterday.

    They Drive Among Us

    This dash cam video from a Minnesota State Patrol car was recently released. The incident took place last July. The driver of this truck ended up blowing a .28 BAC. On a litter note, the MSP trooper sounds alot like the young Lou Solverson, ya. Dash-cam video shows MN state trooper stopping...

    December freight & fun

    Easy! I buy fuel at the Flying/Pilot. A little blue food coloring and some dish detergent is way cheaper than that windshield washer fluid with alcohol and other expensive and harmful chemicals. How else could they afford to give me ½ shower with a fillup? I did. Last year or the year...

    Sitting

    If you like the job, try and stick it out. Do you own the van or drive for a fleet owner? Xiggy mentioned creature comforts. Often fleet owner's vans are bare bones when it comes to creature comforts. Having heat, insulation, extra lighting etc. makes sitting more tolerable. If you own...

    Have rates really dropped all that much?

    I've posted this a few times in the past and here it is again. This is one expedite carrier's rate sheet from 1997. I cropped out the "A" unit column. I did haul some "A" loads at "A" unit rates but I don't believe there was ever an "A" unit in the fleet. At least I never saw one. .

    Have rates really dropped all that much?

    Imaginary maybe, but accurate, at least for the first hand in the pie.

    Have rates really dropped all that much?

    I'm confused, again. With low fuel prices I'm more apt to move on my own dime to a better layover or go home. When fuel prices were high and the fsc, it still wasn't enough to pay to go home. Now I weigh my situation. Number of vans where I am. Miles to a better board. Day of the week...

    Have rates really dropped all that much?

    Like you said, when fuel was high, the fsc paid for all fuel. What it didn't pay for was price increases on other purchases we need to survive. For me I've taken a huge hit on rates from when I first started in this business. I averaged around $1.02/mile, loaded. No fsc but gas was under a...

    North Dakota also has a winter advisory video. Although it isn't quite as professional and polished as Michigan's, it does get the point across. Be advised that this short video contains words that start with "F" and one reference to testicles.

    The Trump Card...

    What happens if Trump supporters don't drift and they perceive any impeachment proceedings as vengeance imposed by the angry Republican establishment. One of the reasons I voted for Trump is because the Republican elite didn't want him. This could hurt Republicans in the mid-term elections and...

    The Trump Card...

    Don't become too emboldened with your new found freedom from political correctness. In your business, grabbing women by the crotch could get you in trouble! :)

    The Trump Card...

    Trump has freed no one from political correctness. All he did was speak without a filter. He didn't sound like a politician and I believe people found that refreshing. Sure people want change. Every candidate promises change and that explains why Trump won. Obama promised change for 8...
