    Just a quick Hello Nighshift is my "better" half :) We've looked at Expediting off an on since before I decided to drive. He's been driving for 3 1/2 years and we've been a team for about 1 1/2 years. We've only been with one company and they've treated us excellently, but they are not a...

    Going from an 18 wheeler to a 6 wheeler.

    Welcome! :7 Hubby (Nightshift) and I are in similar circumstances. He's an OTR Company driver now, and I am starting class May 3. We are planning on teaming as well, but not the truck purchase yet. Question for the "experienced ones here" :7 Should we contact companies or O/O first...

    Layover

    Nightshift doesn't like truckstops for all the reasons listed above. If possible he uses rest areas or he parks at the shipper/receiver. Which brings me back to the one of the reasons we are considering expediting. Parking! Some of the places listed above are impossible for a 70ft rig, along...

    Nightshift is OTR right now, and while he's been out he's been looking for expeditiers to talk to. Here's the question he asks... Where the heck are you guys? :7 He said he very rarely sees expediters at truckstops or rest areas, so where do you guys "layover" at?
