we are way past the medication phase in our sons life as he is now 28. we made it through with a strong set of rules. making him accountable for all of his actions and alot of explaining and a strong focus on treating him as normal as anyone else, no breaks. after a while these kids do realize...

cheri, see that goes to show how all over the place this problem really is greg see's it his way. we had trouble with the doctors and the schools and social services trying to keep our son from being over medicated. you and your family are having trouble getting anyone to help. really is...

do any of you who have chimed in on this subject have mentally handicapped children. the reason i ask is that the prescribing of drugs to these children, whether they are truly mentally handicapped or just hyper/problem children are most times perpetuated by the schools in which they attend. one...

i had always been told by landstar contractors that even stopping to do a driver change or answer the qc or phone was not allowed on a entrance or exit ramp. by the way of the two the entrance ramp is the safest of the two, speeds are generally slower. parking for the night we will not do. there...

i dont know what you consider a safe distance when being loaded, but trust you will want to be rite there at the side of the loading door whenever possible. some of these boogers on forklifts will treat your truck as if it is a company trailer if you are not close. or they could damage something...

while there have been many good comments on what makes the best carrier the comment of you dont know till you sign on is the truest. you can due all the research you want but still not be happy after you sign on. we would all like to hope that after all our due diligence we will make the rite...

that is true about speedco, but the quality of the sample is dependent on how good they clean the machine. i got a suspect sample from speedco that was not suspect it was contaminated from the previous sample. just be careful.

jj, pretty presumptuous of you to assume that all people you talk to in truckstops with rotted teeth are drug users. my mother had rotted teeth like that when she was 40 and it was calcium deficiency from child birth. there are many reasons for bad teeth and yes drug use can be one. deciding...

and that turtle my friend is the truth and nothin but the truth.

an in addition to all the other b/s around this subject. we love how not all the personnel in our industry are included. i would bet that 50% of the carriers dont make their employees in the office test nor do some of the employees attached to the various departments of the dot. [ your safety...

not quite sure of the cost as we are members through our carrier but be assured there is nothing funny with them. they are a nationally recognized association involved in helping small trucking companies. they are rite there beside several other organizations fighting for our rights.

you as a truck owner and business owner are considered a small trucking company therefor that qualifies you to join N.A.S.T.C. [ nat'l association of small trucking companies ] which is tied to a decent fuel discount through fleetone, anyone can get a fleetone card and there are no fees for use...

would like to see some pics of the outside of the truck now that the boxes, axle and ss tires are all on the trk.

the only other piece of advice i can give on retreads is that we practice [ per tire dealers advice ] putting them on in spring or fall when the temps are moderate so they acclimate to the hot or cold temps over a few months.

plain and simple, we just need a carrier to abide by the contract they provided and the one we read, understood and took upon ourselves to sign. then for the carrier to do their best at finding freight. i think this is what most contractors want. there are however, some contractors who think...
