    Finish This Sentence...

    The greatest challenge as an O/O in 2008 is... making the hard choices and sacrifices that will be needed IF things get as bad as some are suggesting. Of course, running smart and being ambitious will be advantageous regardless of the economy. Kim Neumann C&M Transport D-unit

    Order of posts

    Would it be possible to have posts appear in the order that they come, instead of sometimes having them show up in the middle of a busy thread? I've seen it on other forums and I think it makes it easier to keep up and not miss something. The post being responded to, and that posts author, is...

    Front Seat Zombies Photo Contest - WIN A $100 FUEL

    RE: Front Seat Zombies Photo Contest - WIN A $100 I wonder what that dude sounds like when he says "french fried taters"?

    Happy Veteran's Day from EO!

    That had to be very moving Dreamer. When I was a kid, I didn't understand it when I'd see men getting emotional when the National Anthem was played. I do now, and the Vets are the ones we have to thank for the freedoms we enjoy. I raise my glass, well, my Aquafina bottle, to you.

    A happy ending, I guess!

    If the contract the driver signs with the owner is acceptable, why would there be a need for a second? If the contracts had different provisions, that sounds like it could be a legal mess that only the lawyers would profit from.

    HOW BOUT DEM LIONS

    I think we can be cautiously optimistic. There's still time for them to implode. Looks like Kitna may be the real deal.

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    I could have easily, and very legally, logged more miles than that. I spent quite a bit of time in states with 70mph speed limits. If you look at the dates you can see that I had quite a bit of down time. El Paso, for example...

    One strike

    I USED to be with a company that would put you on runs figured at 60mph and not tell you they were doing it. I was on a trip that, in my book, was going well. They called me half way through for an update and said I was running behind. I had only stopped for 10 minutes to take a whizz and fill...

    Something To Consider

    Restricting free speech? No way, Comrade. What a stupid idea!

    Aircards... again

    We've discussed them before, but I've seen changes in the way mine performs and wonder if others have, too. I'm with Alltel and was reasonably satisfied until the last few months. It never had broadband speed, but was good enough to do what I needed. What I'm seeing more and more is slower...

    Give me a break.....Give us a break...give expedit

    RE: Give me a break.....Give us a break...give exp Quite often, it's about interpretation. A while back, someone responded(HELLO!!?!) to something I said in a way that I wasn't sure how to take. I replied in the forum and with a PM asking the author to explain what he meant and was ignored. I...

    Spend a day......

    He's in Guelph, Ontario, as in Canada. If you want a truckstop, you're not far from the 5th Wheel in Milton, exit 320.

    XM radio What now? Redux

    Glad to see you're coming around, Greg. I didn't think you'd be into rap. If I ever get to meet you, should I expect lots of Bling and low riding pants?

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    I'm with C&M. This is a very good month. One of the best since I've been with them. These numbers don't include the Atlanta run. 1441 mt miles 8391 loaded miles I consider that an acceptable loaded to mt ratio. I will contrast that with the numbers from August, which was my worst month. 3622 mt...

    Put Out Of Service

    Just as bad as being OOS WYK(without your knowledge), is being posted in the wrong city. A few years back I emptied in a small town near Knoxville and went to Knoxville to wait. This was very early AM on a Friday. I checked in Friday afternoon and was told they had bid a few and we just hadn't...

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    I was doing this with the info from my day planner, so I went back and checked my logs. I delivered early AM the 18th, making it a 48 hour run. My bad. I guess headquarters heard me yelling. My month will be topped off with Romulus, Mi. to Atlanta, Ga. The truck's doing well, I really like it.

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    At the request of the Forums Administrator, and since I apparently have nothing better to do today(HELLO PAINESVILLE!!!!), here's a recap of my October. 10/1 Deliver early AM in Shadyside, Oh. Go to Cambridge to wait. Dispatched to Green, Oh(anyone ever heard of that?). 10/2 Deliver in...
