    I lived in that area for 47 years. There are some good seafood places at the port and Coconuts on the beach has the best baby back ribs in the area.

    Hello Everyone

    Hi bigjohn, Welcome to the forums. I'm sure many members would be willing to help, but will need more info. Experience, vehicle type, O/O or driver for a fleet owner, etc., etc. The more info you can give the easier it will be for others to offer advice.

    I-75 NB closed just north of Corbin, KY

    There is a cold front moving into north Florida. Temps for tomorrow in Jacksonville are expected to be High 45 and low 31. And to think it was 78 on Saturday while I was washing the truck.:cool:

    It's Jan 2 and I thought we would be busy....

    The first couple of years we stayed out over holidays. Now we stay home over Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and from Christmas through New Years. Although there is some freight we would rather enjoy these holidays at home rather than sit for 4-5 days in a truck stop.

    Starving this year?

    ES did have a few. I picked up a tractor that had been wrecked and drove it to Memphis so that a new team could pick it up. I believe it was leased to Panther.

    Panther's physical Question

    That must be a really intense orientation to need a nurse and 2 doctors standing by.:eek:

    Starving this year?

    When we first started we drove one and were quite satisfied too. Since we were a surface expedite truck the influx of red KW's directly affected our run miles. Not to say we didn't get the miles, we just didn't get the long coast to coast runs anymore. We did not leave because of the red KW's...

    Question about truck stop showers

    Yes. We always shower together. Just get one shower and go on about your business. Ask for extra towels if you need them.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    PayPal seems to be having a problem today. I have a buyer for an item I have for sale on ebay that is having the same problem.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    I had one that had a 2 inch section on the end come unglued. I cut it off and used a heat gun to melt it smooth on the edge. That wiper is now longer than the slush buster. It still seems to work fine.

    New HOS Rules are out

    I based it on the 44 cpm. I didn't talk to the driver. It may be surface expedite all miles.

    New HOS Rules are out

    I would suspect that the FDCC driver was a team driver. 22 cents a mile for a team driver in a straight truck isn't far from the norm. $1.10 loaded with no FSC at 40% is 44 cents per mile split between two drivers. You should see what CRST, Swift and the other big companies pay there team drivers.

    Do you members do anything?

    I'm not. I gave up years ago. I found it a better use of my time to do something where I can actually see an out come. Although we did write our letters to FMCSA about HOS. That turned into another waste of time as we have seen in the new rule that no one listened.
