The comeraderie is still out there, where it´s always been. It´s hit or miss, like it´s always been, in my experience. There are still guys and gals hanging out together. Just not in every truckstop, everyday. I hit stops where there is conversation, and others where trucks are parked and no one...

Really an interesting concept! Years ago I read an article about trucks of the future. The emphasis was on driver comfort, and they had some really outrageous designs for tractors. After readng the EO article, I was thinking, wouldn´t it be great if, instead of hauling passengers, you had the...

I don´t think there is a fair way to rate anyplace. The reason is, if the company you work for or are leased to has the account, then they get the frieght. For example, I used to go in and out of the Ford plant in Kansas City, from all over Canada, and Detroit and got backhauls most times, when...

My last big rig was a KW, Cummins 400. I used to be able to save alot of money just watching where i bought fuel. I had two 100 gal. tanks, and would burn 100 gal or more per day. The difference in fuel prices, allowed me to save anywhere from $10 $20 a fill up. That savings would more than pay...

I just watched another documentary about additives. I personally in all the years i´ve trucked and all the miles i´ve driven have never used ANY type of additive (diesel, gas, injector oil etc). I´ve always maintained my equipment with the thrust bieng on clockwork oil changes at 10,000 miles...

Bushdoctor: First of all, most companies won´t hire you without a class A cdl with hazmat. Expediting is mainly in the midatlantic and midwestern states. You can get your own authority and be a true "independent", but i suggest you walk before you run, and tackle the getting loads problem later...

Hello UKexpediter....I took a look at your site. It seems like a good site. Well laid out. The only critique..put your phone number on every page. Over here our biggest user of expediting is the automotive industry, and thier suppliers, which means just about any company that manufactures or...

Most of the E unit teams i have encountered, seem to do well. They typically get about $1.00-$1.10 per mile...all miles. Some I have talked to have dedicated runs, and do better. The single E units don´t seem to do much better than a D unit, based on conversations I´ve had with some of them. It...

Alaska and Hawaii, are the only two states i´ve never driven in. I, too would have taken the trip, like Lawrence, just to see it, and drive it. One of my trucking dreams has always been to drive the Alcan Highway. I may have to do it in my motor home when i retire.

I´d like to jump in here with an opinion. Fisrt of all to nchauler. This is NOT a bogus site, as you yourself admitted to using it over a period of time to gleen information. Secondly to Lawrence. Nchauler has a valid point. When one excercises editorial control, there is no longer a forum...

In this chapter, expediting. We´ll begin with The Game Plan. By now you´ve sat around and fantisized about going expediting, but you´re not sure. Step one, get on the internet, (this site is a good source) and start collecting company literature. Read everyhting. Step two, go to a truck stop...

I would like an answer on this question from someone that is more knowledgable than myself. If you idle a gasoline engine, you always have to worry about carbon monoxide creeping into your cab or sleeper. There is no carbon monoxide threat when idling a diesel engine. My question is why not? I...

Nice wagon weave!....You going to paint it orange and get a suit to match?

It was a rainy ugly night at the flying j off highway 75 just north of atlanta. Scnieder-Man was sitting in the cab of his condo frieghtshaker, sucking face and swapping spit with Fuel-desk Woman. Suddenly, right in the middle of a particularly wet one, the call came in...beep...

Yes Weave...Schnieder-Man is a natural heroe for us truckers. He needs a love interest, so i recommend Flying J Fueldesk-Woman. He also needs a central crime fighting information center, staffed by NO-HOLD Dispatcher-Babe, both day and night. Lot Lizards beware! :)

Randy...good luck with whatever you decide to do. Do you plan to stay in trucking? Seems everything you read these days, expediting is taking bath. We all, i guess wonder if and when it will get back to bieng profitable. I hope that any newbies heed your advice. It ain't easy out there!
