Dennis, sent you a pm that I was headed up but your inbox was full.

Well, looks like I made it :D Everything is set to go except me. I finally had to just throw everything in the van and take off Saturday night at midnite. Orientation is done, q-com installed and decals on... but I can't stand to have the van NOT in order. I told Brian I wasnt goin in service...

I replaced the headlights on my Columbia for the same reason. I never could get them completely clear. I think some of it was on the inside. They weren't sealed well at the back. I got both headlight assemblies off Ebay for about $250 best i remember. It was well worth it. Have you checked...

I think you will be amazed at the difference actually. They know what their doing and they get the job done. You will be part of that and they appreciate a good driver. Orientation will be short, probably one day or less. You will be making money shortly afterwards. I spent a couple days at...

The link above is apparently for a bluetooth style, but I was positive that Jack told me his were actually wired to his hearing aids. I just know that they seemed to work very well. He was very happy with it. It was nice to see him carry on a phone conversation that was as normal as could...

Way to go! I think you'll like it at C&M. You won't have to embrace any stupidity there :) I see C&M as one of the best carrier's in the business to work for. They won't bug you to death with a bunch of stupid rules and policies. They just try to keep you busy. Be ready to run some miles and...

Joe, I've been thinking about you the last couple of days. How is it going? Have you made any plans? Did you attend the show in Knoxville? Here is what had me thinking about ya. I've been working on my CargoMax and needed some help from a welding shop and the old man that runs the shop (73...

I think the "use a map" suggestion is just the best sarcastic remark they can think of. You won't find many local streets in a trucker's atlas. You would have to buy a city map of every city you pick up and deliver in. One of the best things I love about my GPS is that I rarely have to call...

Not sure, but I was told that Moot has the pink ones? :D

Was good meetin ya Dennis! I apologize for being busy. It's kinda sad when you have to go get your stuff out of a 35 y/o's shop and take it a 73 y/o's shop to get the job done..lol. Jack is hoot though. I had never met him until Monday morning. I was telling a friend that this guy at home was...

Sounds like you need some fire in the wire...spark in your plug :D

I really, REALLY miss the "like" button!

Yep...that is pretty much the explanation Ive got from anybody whose miles consistently come up short. Those who use practical miles never needed to explain themselves. Their miles were consistently accurate. Sorry, I just dont believe the zip to zip story that they use.

Could be more going on than your aware of ? just sayin. Its been a while now since I felt the need for any parental guidance. :)

definitely don't wrap it around her neck...unless....ahhh na...never mind :D

I'm thinking the numbers he was quoted are probably before fsc. Probably still don't come out to $1.00 though.

Cherokee borders Hardy, Highland and Ash Flat. Large area actually. 15,000 acres I'm told. The cop (my neighbor) says there is close to 900 miles of paved roads...I haven't measured 'em. Cherokee Village is a retirement community :D I don't really belong here..lol. Gotta watch these old...

Used to be Duckett Freightliner....they sold sometime in the last few months. TAG is the name on the door now. Im in Cherokee Village...used to live in Pocahontas

4 hours is what I always paid for valve adjustment on my series 60 detroit. The shop I used did usually discount the labor rate $55/hr though. Freightliner...Poplar Bluff, Mo. Not sure they do it for everybody...I used them alot so the gave me a break here and there.

Great!! You've done your research :D I spent a good 2-3 years on the msg boards (there were other circumstances holding me up) before I jumped in. There were still a few twists and turns before I got lined out. Expect the need to make adjustments along the way. A good carrier will make all the...
