I use an envelope that I put together years ago.It shows everything from when I leave home to every dime I spend and for what on the road.And,being an envelope,gives me a place to put every receipt involved with each load.i should copy write these envelopes and sell them,but I usually just give...

There are different types of layovers;layover to unload,layover to pick up load a,but I thinkk the layover this author is talking about is layover waiting for freight,What I am doing myself now,and as stated earlier,you just never get use to it Normally when I deliver Buffalo,I would just go...

post office move for 7 blocks,down town Philly $1100 bucks

actually no,most tractors were doing freight for less than a buck a mile.total miles were over 500 miles,with the 180 mile dead head1984 That would have been great pay.Fuel was about 85 c.p.g

Is there really anything good about waiting for that next load that may or may not come?I've been in this business for over 26 years,and you just don't get use to laying over.For the H/W teams it might be easier.I guess the worst part is the unknown.Will I get loaded today or tomorrow,short or...

This isn't dumb,just stupid.Was 1984,I just signed on with Roberts Express.Get a call middle of the night,want me to Dead Head from Akron Oh to Saint Mary's Pa,and take it to Detroit Mi.In my mind,all I could think about was the dead head to pick up.Shouldn't have mattered,they offered to pay...

my thoughts exactly Phil

Ive been in trucking for 33 years.I have an XM radio,CB radio,Net book with an air card,(blew my laptop up).Never had a TV,we don't cook in the truck,oh yes and a calculator.

Does anyone remember buying cigarettes for 25 cents and getting 3 cents change in the pack.Remember when a joint was a place to get a drink,or maybe even a sandwich,not something you smoked.Anyone remember Roy Rogers horse's name,or what Pat Butrum's Jeep's name,or even the German Shepherd's...

To do this movie as an expedite driver would be to difficult.For each size of truck,there is a different problem.Each different carrier uses their trucks differently,so some would be always busy,and some would always be asking if your busy.As far as the life style,expediters are much different...

The concept of most carriers,and size of truck doesn't matter,this is very important,something all should remember.What If there is a load, and we don't have a truck in the area,therefore,all express centers have more trucks than needed.This would be different if we were all on forced...

why didn't you just put the cargo bar in front then just strap the drum to the wall,putting the front of the strap ahead of the bar?
