What did you decide?

Your numbers might be right or wrong but what is important is, the way your thinking is wrong. You need a paradigm shift in the way you think about expenses. It's not a set amount of miles per month. You have fixed expenses and variable expenses. I am wording it wrong but you should be thinking...

If you were willing to relocate to Texas, I could get you a job driving local, you would be home every night, well your new home, and after a year, you could get just about any trucking job. We do heavy haul and we are looking for someone safe and willing to learn. You would start in a...

booooooooooo

This. I have no interest in working for a company that cares more about their liability than my safety. The company I drove for had no limits but the dispatchers were good. I regularly ran from Indy to Laredo. (1300 miles). I would work in a 2 hour nap with the time saved driving 5 mph over...

I finally bought a B250-xt. I also have an iPhone 4. It works good for my phone calls but it doesn't ring for my text messages or ding for my emails. Is there any way I can make those ring in the headset? Thanks

Is the PC Miler 450 good enough?

When I was OTR, I was a very loyal Pilot / flying J customer even though everyone here ranted about how much better TA's were. The convenience of so many were huge and the overall quality was mostly consistent. But I took it as an attack on the industry. I realize that it doesn't affect most of...

Thanks guys. I was just checking out the Garmin website Nd it gave me an idea. Are there any iPhone apps that have truck routes? I wouldn't mind spending $30-50 on an app so I can save up and get the 760.

What is the difference between the 465t and the 465lmt?

I heard about the Pilot debacle when I got an Email from EO about it. I read only this page but I'm a little disappointed there doesn't seem to be a grassroots movement to boycott Pilot. I would have thought that people would naturally stick by there brethren and not support a company that is...

That's a good idea, I should look into the used market place.

Hi y'all Haven't posted in about a year and a half. I missed family so I got off the road. I moved to Texas last summer and got my CDL in the spring. I now live in Houston and I got a job doing heavy haul. They trained me for a week or two. I drive a 27' rollback.

I need a truck GPS, I've been using google maps and I didn't notice I went on a non truck route and got a ticket. The Garmin Del 760 look good but $399 is out of my price range. I work local in Houston, Tx so I don't need all the fuel tracking bells and whistles. Also, can I buy a chip...

Thanks Moot.

What section or line do you claim the perdiem on? I've been fiddling with two different software packages and with one, there is a line for DOT meals & expenses and the other doesn't. I want to make sure it shows up on the right line.

yaay I am soo much happier paying triple the rates to verizon for having a massive monopoly than I could be paying only double rates for a duopoly.

maybe ... lol I think we should stop hijacking this thread and you can give me advice via pm so we don't ruin the OP's thread.

I'm pretty sure I said above that I stay in hotels. My company pays for them every night. I haven't been inside my truck in days. I'm staying at an extended stay hotel with a big fridge & stove, so I buy enough groceries before I settle in.

As mentioned, I update them before I start moving but as its now, I've been in a hotel for 2 days and I probably won't update it until Monday because I'm lazy. It takes me all of 2 minutes to fill it out when its time.
