She probably figgures it'll take them takes three to turn the nut and takes three to hold the bolt state workers to change them signs on them two or five roads they're gong to change the limit on.

Ya gotta understand Tall, that most of the "advisors" on this site pretty much have "one dimensional" views that they can draw from for giving advice. Meaning, most have been either a owner operator contracted to someone, or, graduated to being a owner of some trucks contracted to someone...

If you are diabetic, I suggest you forward your physical evaluation results to the Carriers you are considering. Because diabetes is controlled does not mean you will be qualified with the Carriers Doc reading the results. At a minimum you may be required to test and send results frequently to...

Actually, there are a lot like that looking for jobs. The vast majority however, don't lay their cards on the table like that. They try to surprise you after the fact, or, come clean when they are 1000 miles down the road with your truck. He's actually doing the readers a favor.

My, my, this seems to be quite a fire drill. All you really have to do is play fair, like your momma learned you. But, I know, some can't help their actions, and, others I wonder IF they had a momma. Regardless, you could't carry the document produced to completely protect us from ourselves...

Well Buck, you could probably do the math on this yourself, but, here goes. 2000 miles per week minus 20% non-paid DH, personal transportation, traveling to sit at a truck stop etc. (depending what your personal habits are) leaves 1800 paid miles X whatever you are paid loaded, minus about 10%...

Yahooo, 17 Jan and it's starting already this year. Conway screwing you on this thread, Pilot screwing you on another thread. Man, if everyone is getting screwd as much as I read about here, there should be nothing but perpetual smiles on most everybodys faces. Seriously, if you can't run a...

actually, there is well over 150K miles on our split, I have not measured remaining tread, however, looks to be half used up. Regardless, even if they were used up right now i'd cheerfully replace them knowing the extra revenue they have produced.

Dave: I'm not sure what age you are typing from, but, I don't believe you should blame the porta potty on the spouse.

Unless of course earning that 39 and change requires you to endure unusual and excessive punishment in your everyday tasks.

Yessir wombat, mean people suck. Ya gotta understand that anymore 95% of the attitude is "harrah' for me and skareww you" I understand your concern.

Mr. G The ONLY effective way I have found to recruit drivers is, simply not to recruit. If you have a crew of happy campers, word of mouth will do wonders for your driver count. After they knock on your door, you then can start the tedious process of picking the fly crap from the pepper...

I dunno if it is fluff or what. From what I look at each day on the road there is nothing for sure for success. However, when I see the average cargo van type guy thinking about the buisiness generally in the back of their mind is "screwing the pooch" meaning they want to do it easy ie. no...

Seem we have one or two of each. Freightliner service (for ALL my experiences so far) sucks. No parts, give a ##### attitude, rah, rah, humma, humma. Peterbuilt service is generally very good. However, we use the class 7 330 model, therein lies the problem for Pete, not really a lot of 330's...

Yes but, thats pretty profitable screwing at $40 or so an hour.

Yep, sounds like some easy pratt time money to me.

We built one exactly as described. We split the tandems 8'1" which allows us to "bridge" (the operative word) 12,000, 20,000, 20,000 for 52,000 gross. Our particular machine can carry a 29,000lb load, although it is difficult to take any truck to the edge of it's capacity envelope. The most I...

Yep, sounds about right. Most folks don't understand that if they ask a direct question, they will get an answer. Not necessarily the answer they want to hear, but, an answer. Then seems like they didn't hear the one they didn't want to hear. Human nature! Most don't get broke of going from...

Kewe: My problem is - why would you draw upon your past and suggest stories out of school?? Beings you know all the underhanded angles ,do you practice any?? Regardless, most of us are adults here, information is needed and BS should walk. There will always be shysters, but, not anywhere...

I guess I feel mr/mz kewexpr is typing some highly speculative brown from the rectal aperture. I would take that speculation with a grain of salt - check that, a tablespoon of salt.
