Just read an article in Transport Topics if someone who knows computers better than me (everyone) than go ahead and find the article and post it. It is estimated (suprise uncle same) that there is going to be 111,000 drivers short to fill trucks in less than ten years. Drivers are retiring at...

Why would you do that? If your dog was even accused of biting someone, it would be DESTROYED immediatly for the rabies test. They remove the head after they kill it also. You could not prove to a Police officer that you administer your own Vet treatments, even if he believed you the law is...

Go back to Fed EX, become a dock worker pay decent (have a realitive who works Greensboro Terminal) show intrest in driving, and I am sure that a O/O will begin talking to you. As for the big Companies, I looked at them all. Interviewed with Pumpkin, no thanks great company but your not a...

Two Saturday's ago comming from Chicago to NY when passing through Toledo saw my one and only Expeditor truck for the entire day. Behind a tow truck. Appeared someone crossed a yellow line, $40K in damage at least entire side of truck was about 2 feet thinner than mine. It was a newer T-300...

I had to read this twice, Dave is correct. If you have still not hired an accountant by now your getting deeper and deeper into trouble. This is probably the biggest mistake anyone could make in paying contractors or employees. Get this straightened ASAP as the problems that will hit you in...

When passing through Philly one Saturday, and wishing I was in that stadium. I noticed hmmm all those RVs and school bus. Think we could park our Expeditor 40 trucks in there as well? I love baseball, ever since I was a right field back up to a back up in little league. Yeah me & sports I...

I have seen one truck with alum wheel covers. Looked not to good in my estimate. All we have back there that needs protection is the lighting wiring harness, dolly legs and thats all I can think of. Cost probably not worth the invesment.

Summer time, I aint soak'n up a pair of Jeans loading and unloading. Dockers or Wrangler shorts not cut offs but nice shorts. I always wear a pressed button with pocket shirt. I love the Western shirts, cotton is very thick and they stay pressed and neat for more than one wear if you do not...

Great Article, thanks for sharing this. Comment, is'nt 7 years a bit of overation. I have a great deal of respect for these construction workers, but seven years points left on a drivers license over kill? I do not know of a single state that holds Reckless driving points for more than 3...

What a shame to be in over your head. Must be a sick feeling as I recall around last Christmas. Any business takes capitol or should, I do not know the stastic but I would bet most companies with less than 30% invested in goes broke in less than one year. The obvious, not enough committment...

Those are great truck wash's if you wash once a week. Any longer of running and its a bad value. If you have any chrome wipe dry imm. I enjoy using them and the savings, only when the truck is not grimmey just dirty.

I just finished a terrible run into Canada, Sherbrooke QC. Customer insisted after letting my office know on my PU call that I wanted to cross near Kingsport, 8 hours later 300 miles further I am told I can only cross at Windsor. I thought but the PARS is cleared why would I have to report to...

My 2 pennies. I was a salesman for in Western Michigan 15 years, traveled through many of National Forest home to big deer and I mean big. Never hit one but some Angel was looking out for me. I could tell stories. Deer when blowing my two Air Horns do nothing, do not look up when they are...

Some ask why take such a survey? Is it really a survey? I like the subject on the basis that it is shinning alot of light on a problem in the industry right now. I was told on this site less than a year ago "you will be begging for time off" nope aint happened yet. I have only come close...

I am at the J in Jackson GA it is under construction only two toilets for about 200 or more truck spaces. One could mess up big time waiting. It could be funny to just watch these drivers and people waiting in line, or should I say it would be cruel. I used a Porta Jon outside today lines...

Stand back and watch the cash flow over the counter and take the fuel away. How many drivers just pull in fuel and there gone. Whats in there hand, luch time two hot dogs, soda, chips and one item for the truck total $10.00 or just under. Now take a 34 hour layover. Me for an example, no...
