Somehow tomorrow became today. For me it has been a strange day. I spent today with some friends I went to grade school and high school with. We grew up in south Minneapolis but visited a friend that now lives in Mora, Minnesota. We toured a small, way cool FM radio station, KBEK in...

No. What I said was get several years experience in a tractor/trailer. If you feel you can make the leap to a van, do it. If not, do the straight truck thing for a few years. You have that backwards. Your question should read: I still don't get why the straights don't use the knowledge they...

I believe T/T for just about any expedite carrier will be kept busy, provided you are a team. The team thing I can understand with straight trucks. For a tractor/trailer though, you are pulling a company owned trailer, why not do relays on longer runs? Maybe they do but it seems like everyone...

Tremors, that movie is so bad I have watched four or five times, though I probably have only seen it in its entirety once.

Hey, I'm a Panther driver. I've been a Panther driver since 2006 and know just slightly more than nothing about their flatbed division. I have never seen a Panther tractor pulling a flat. Several years ago while laying over at the Pilot in South Bend someone from Panther called me and asked...

A credit card with a high limit should be included in your tool box.

Moving up to straights? Going from a van to a straight truck is a downward movement on the expedite ladder. Many of us started out driving tractor/trailer and after 15 or 20 years of experience moved up to a cargo van. Some, like myself skipped the straight truck phase and made the leap...

You should post your question in the Truck Talk Forum. I'm sure Greasytshirt will have an answer for you by morning.

I believe he became another casualty of the Soapbox.

That's because there aren't all that many solutions. 1. REDUCE GOVERNMENT SPENDING. 2. Raise taxes. 3. Both 1 and 2. We would be 9 trillion dollars less in debt which would make the country financially stronger. I think you should be able to answer that question from your own personal...

I don't have a problem with Panther's 16 hour. It's some of the stupidity as to how it is implemented that bothers me. Aslo, not being up front with actual delivery times. I have done longer loads that deliver in the morning when the consignee opens for business. I have 18 hours to...

Moot would not have driven any faster to make time for a 5 hour break. I took a 5 hour break without anyone telling me to and knowing that I would not make the alleged, scheduled delivery time. Agreed but I would amend that to read: More open and honest communication between all parties...

Far right or far left; radicals, extremists, wackos, whatever you want to call them are still radicals, extremists, wackos or whatever you want to call. If Obama wasn't black, the "venomous garbage spewed by the far right is sad"; wouldn't be venomous garbage or sad. It would be politics as...

How large is your family? I'm on my 3rd van. The last two have had the passenger seat removed. When I haul passengers they can sit on my bed or get strapped to the E-Track on the wall. Their choice. For kids, 55 gallon drums with interior padding and air holes would work fine. For larger...

Does that include personal miles?
