nightcreacher said " but c-link doesnt put you under low bridges" Yes it does :-( When we were with FedEx, we had a run that took us to an 11'9'' bridge..luckily with a straight truck it wasn't such an issue with getting around it..if we'd have been dragging a 53ft trailer, that wouldn't have...

RE: Count your blessings, don't sweat the small st Please accept my condolences on the passing of your friend. Sometimes it takes an event like this to make us stop and think. Thank you for the reminder.

If the sign says anything close to 13'6" we don't trust it. Of course after we've been through an area and "know" that the sign might be incorrect that's a different story. What's amazing to me is how many drivers don't "see" the signs. How the heck does a driver peel off the top of a...

> our conversations >wander all over the map sometimes, changing direction more >often than a lost driver... That just makes the trip interesting :)

We bought one of the Black and Decker under the counter pots too....big mistake. We now use two 2qt Stanley Thermos's. They keep coffee hot for 24 hours. [link:www.stanley-pmi.com/shop/product_detail.aspx?ProductID=6|STANLEY]

We sat in Portland for 4 days back in Dec. We did get offered a load picking up in Salt Lake City going to San Diego...but it was after we started dead heading home..and we were on I-40 in Gallup, NM We didn't have any luck with Get Loaded while we were out there either :(

Congratulations! Grandkids are much more fun than their parents were ;)

We're a team and we do probably 70% of our driving at night. Seems the loads pick up in the afternoon and deliver then next morning.

Good Deal glad you got out! :)

One of the questions we can put N/A but the other ones are strictly "Y" or "N". Yes, they've woken us up too...GRRRRR

Teflon??? Are you out of TX yet?

I think that's called a "bad ping" Recently we've been getting a "vehicle inspection message" Evidently, it was a glitch in the system, and we were suppose to be getting this message all the time. We called about it, because there are questions on this form that don't apply to a straight...

Before I became a "professional driver" I made a road trip to Albuquerque, NM by myself. They were doing road construction through one of the western states on I-40 (can't remember which one) Anyway, before the construction areas they would, for example, close the right lane, then about a mile...

I wouldn't pay a school to get a CDL-B. Study the book from DMV. If your husband has driven for 20 years then he can teach you the practical side of trucking. If you're getting into expediting you will need the Hazmat endorsement because Hazmat is a bulk of our freight. Good Luck

This may be totally off base here, but here goes. We drive for an owner, and he pays for the fuel, we will pay the tolls, maintenance etc, and he reimburses us. We never take advances! We run the loads, and when the PRO pays, we get paid. This may not work for others, but it works great for...

Coco, I had to laugh when I read your post. I also stack my jeans, least favorite on the bottom. Why is it, when you buy the same brand, same size, and same color...they all don't fit the same?? For the most part, there's no worry about what is worn as long as it matches, and it's clean and...

Our middle son is a deputy with the Collier County Sheriff's Dept in FL. When I saw this, I called him and asked if he had "moved to Wyoming" He has the type of humor to do something like this! LOL

Update: We had to have an MAS update done on the QC...what's that you ask? A new "black box". Went to a place in Atlanta and they replaced it. Not sure exactly what the deal was, we were told QC did some kind of massive download, so we needed a new box. (Aren't I just so tech savvy?) :P We...

For the last 3 days we've been having issues with our Qualcom going into the "we've lost you" mode and dropping both of us to line 4 on our logs. Are any other Panther drivers having this trouble? We called and they were suppose to be checking into it, but we haven't heard anything. This is a...
