    Should I hang in there or move on to another Carrier

    As already said, keep asking those questions, thats how you learn. I am glad you and the wife are enjoying your time on the road. I am also with Try Hours (almost 2 years) and things have been slow for me as well, partly because I don't push as hard during the cold months and spend more time...

    HOW do big rig drivers do it?

    Nope, trucks go off the road all right. I just happened to mention to my fiancé yesterday that I could not believe how many trucks I have seen off the road lately.

    Legal or NOT?

    This is a *"drive by poster" venting about something that happened with his/her carrier and wanting us on EO to take a stand with him/her on information that is full of holes. Deal with your carrier on this issue then maybe an attorney, but I am sure an attorney will want MUCH more...

    You knew it was coming. DOT bans handheld cell phones in trucks.

I wish I would have purchased this headset a long time ago but had already purchased many that were junk so was skeptical of...

    kwik trip truckstops

    Kwik trip up north, Quick trip down south, Kum & Go in IA/NB and Speedway at home. As long as the fuel price is right, any of those over TA/Pilot. I don't use that rip-off Comdata card and get what little cash I use at Walmart. When I first started expediting I got wrapped up in the TA/Pilot...

    Sorry to report that I am still unable to login to EO forum with my Blackberry Tapatalk software. Not really a very big deal to me, I mostly got Tapatalk for reading post on the EO forum which I can do as a guest. If I try to login to EO forums one more time and fail I'm locked out. :(

    Still home. :( It turns out that even though on Friday night I scheduled myself to come back into service on Monday at 6am, dispatch still showed me as "out of service". I won't depend being scheduled to return to service anymore.
