A few months back I put up a post for you guys to watch a special two hour show on Fox's F/X channel called "Oil Storm". Nobody responded to that post but if you guys watched it, it pretty much predicted a hurricane comming up the gulf and taking out all the refineries and causing problems for...

What ever happened to PNV? I remember when I first started in the truck driving business it seemed like the best thing since low rate cell phones and truckstops with clean bathrooms. It wasn't uncommon to see rigs parked with cable and telephone wires connected to yellow boxes on the ground and...

I was talking to my sister the other day and she told me how she was driving on the highway doing the speed limit when a girl driving a SUV and talking on her cell phone rear ended her at 20 mph over the speed my sister was driving which also made her slam into the guardrail. Now get this when...

If you guys ever get the chance, don't hesitate, go out and test drive the line of trucks that Volvo is putting out. I drove a fellow drivers Volvo 780 that he had with all the options available and I didn't want to get out of the drivers seat. I've driven the 770 for an owner, but the new 780...

I'm not gonna go into any details or else I'm gonna gross you guys out, but be careful when eating at those truckstop buffets. I've noticed a lot of drivers leaving the restrooms without washing thier hands and smelling like they could use a bath only to head straight for the truckstop dinning...

When I told my mother seven years ago that I was dropping out of college, gonna get my CDL A and become a truck driver she looked at me like I was on drugs and wanted me to stay away from the friends I hung out with. My friends had the same reaction but they thought that maybe I bumped my head...

I was watching "Trucks" on Spike TV and that episode showed how one could make his/her own biodiesel in their garage and it was perfectly legal. Freedome Fuel America makes a fully assembled kit that you can order and install in your home. But what had me puzzled was, what if I ordered the kit...

The price of fuel is almost $3.00 a gallon, I was just wondering how high are you guys willing to pay for fuel before throwing in the towel and finding a new career? I might quit at 3 dollars.

I was watching the news and saw a report where GM is planning on laying off 25,000 emplyees and closing some of their plants by 2008.As if fuel prices weren't enough to deal with, now there's going to be a lack of future automotive loads for us. Those autoworkers have themselves to blame for all...

It's not said enough, so I'd like to thank everyone the moderaters, the drivers and everyone at Expedites Online for making this the best expediter web site. The forums are great to read and reply too and everyone has a great attitude. If it wasn't for this web site I'd be bored crazy.

It's that time of the year again when we all share stories of which truckstops or dinesr serve the best food. When in Michigan you've got to stop by the Detroiter Truckstop and order their fried chicken dinner, and for dessert order their homemade cherry pie. When in Fishkill, N.Y. on I-84 if...
