"Our" governor has decided to add a 75-mile tollway bypass of Marion County. Basically thinking that truckers will be more interested in running a toll road around the capital city. Rather than taking the free interstate around Indianapolis. He wants to use the money he got for selling I80...

Thought this might be of interest to everyone. http://cbs4denver.com/topstories/local_story_218181028.html

Ok now I'm not big into griping or anything but considering I just got woke up at 5:30 this AM I am not happy. I delivered late last night and pull into the J here in Knoxville (after midnight) only to have a rude awaking at 5:30a by a Panther II straight truck driver pulling in beside me. Now...

I got this story sent to me and with everything going on it just seemed appropriate to post it here. September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone... The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two...

How do you plan on staying warm this winter? I have a Sprinter with a sleeper and I'm looking for options for staying warm this winter. I can't afford to go out and spend 3000 for an Espar heater right now. So I thought I'd see how everyone else keeps warm in the cold months.

If you ever break down in the Nashville area DO NOT call Marshall Trucking. I had a 4hr waiting for a tow truck 2 hrs for the driver to figure out how to hookup my Sprinter. The driver looked and smelled as if he hadn't showered in weeks. Then he started talking about having "visions" and...

Does anyone know of any companies that don't require you to goto Canada? I've got a boxer that travels with me and I do my own shots and I was told that I can't go in because of that. So any clue what companies to check into? Oh and I drive a Sprinter w/ sleeper.

I was wondering if anyone uses this and if it's worth the $$. Also is there freight on there for cargo vans? I have a Sprinter 2500SHC and lately it seems that I'm taking an awful lot of one way loads of 5-600+ mi. Then deadheading back (on my dime as my company doesn't pay dh) 2-300mi to...

Last week I took a load down to Griffin, GA and I sat in Atlanta area all day Wednesday. Talked with dispatch a few times only to be told in the evening that Atlanta wasn't a good area and I needed to move north. Moved up to Nashville early Thursday morning and sat there through late Friday...

Ok I've been thinking about putting a driver in my Sprinter. Since, I'm having problems with the company I'm working for. So, I was wondering if someone could give me what an average van driver would make a year. I only worked for FDCC and I would like to show them more than one companies...

I signed on with a new company and so far I have had only 1 run a week since signing on. I have only turned down 2 loads for good reasons. I sit and sit and sit after being promised no long sitting times. I sat all day in Atlanta on a Friday only to be told that night that they don't get much...

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new here but I need some help. I was in expediting until I had 2 yrs of BAD luck. Recently was 2 accidents this year. Due to a forced dispatched I rolled my van on black ice, that was in Feb. Then in June I was involved in a swoop and squat in NJ. Even though either...
