Anyone know much about them from a company driver's perspective? http://www.jettexpress.com/index.html thanks for any info

The super 10 is one of the few transmissions I haven't had the chance to drive yet. Well I took a job(start the 5th) driving a T300 with a Super 10. The way I understand it is you split the gears like your in 3rd then split to 4th, move the splitter back toward you and lever shift to 5th, etc...

Hi all, I bought a GPS receiver to go along with my MS Streets and Trips on my laptop. I got it on eBay for $56 shipped. It's a Holux GR-213 SiRF Star III. Anyone familiar with that particular unit? If so how well did it work out for you? Also I was wondering what settings you all use on the...

They are out of Indianapolis. I saw a posting from them on another site looking for Class B drivers. Anyone know much about them? thanks

Carrier Profile on the front page for Express Way. "Baisden, who founded the company in May of 1004, has a long history in transportation." Long history? I think they are just being modest..1,002 years in the expediting business just might be a record. Sorry just couldn't resist. :D

At my local Best Buy Delorme w/ GPS is $99 and Streets and Trips w/ GPS is $129. Which one is better as far as ease of use and accuracy? thanks

Hello, I got an offer to drive a 22' D-Unit as a solo on a 60/40 split with me getting the 60%+FSC and paying for fuel and tolls. The truck was previously on with Tri-State but the owner said it could be changed. I was thinking FedExCC because they are large and should have the freight, but I...

Tomorrow I'll be in week 3 of my 4 week CDL A refresher at Sage Tech. I still don't know which way I should go as far as a job. Either expediting or T/T OTR. All I know for sure is I want a driving job that pays a livable wage. Expediting seems to fit me. I like the idea of running hard to get...

I've had my CDL A since 1997, but got side tracked with a non driving job. I have read of people jumping in to expedite jobs with little or no experience, so I thought about doing the same because OTR T/T jobs would require recent experience or at least a recent CDL school grad. Recently I have...

I read a thread on another forum about the possibility of using a single axel tractor (or tandem for that matter) and using a 28' or so pup as an expediter. Haven't heard much more about the subject and was wondering if that could possibly be the future sweet spot truck configuration for an...

I picked up Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 at a local school auction, but it didn't come with the GPS. Are there any decent cheap GPS that I could get that will work with Streets and Trips? I have a laptop with built in 802.11b wirless. Is it possible to use a cell phone as a modem or some...

With the class 7 D-Units a 6 speed seems to be most common transmission from what I've read. I have never driven a 6 speed, but I assume it is synchronized. I know that allot of the "pros" in the Class 8s with 9 or more forward gears shift without using the clutch (floating). I was just...

Hello all. I earned my CDL A in 1997 with plans of driving OTR, but got side tracked by an IT related job. Anyways fast-forward to now and the IT job is no more. I have always wanted to drive a truck and at 33 with no other prospects I am ready to jump in. From reading several posts it sounds...
