Sitting near Atlanta, GA since Friday around noon. No A/C and have fed $50 into idleair over last 2 days and still 96 in truck.

Has everyone forgotten about the Constitution and the 4th Amendment. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. When I am out on the road in my truck that is my home and my property and...

I have had dogs, cats, and even a ferret in a truck with me. I would have to say I enjoyed having my dog with me the most. I actually picked him up when I was in El Paso. One of the best dogs I have ever had. I would not suggest a puppy though because "house breaking" just is not possible...

wow over $3 a mile thats a nice load. Is there a catch though?

As you noticed the risk vs reward is the key factor. Going by the limit of $5k a year as you seen most would rather stick with a fleet owner. Now if you remove the $5k limit from the question you posed every ones decision maybe a bit different. To me like I said and as you did that just isn't...

How long to you keep these records before you rotate them out?

So if I fuel my truck and the pump and ticket say I bought $300 in fuel, that is before the discount and the discounted rate is what will actually be withdrawn from my card?

Funny how fuel prices come down then taxes go up.

Waiting on my new Ultra One card to come in the mail. Good tip on being able to download that info from them. Thanks and you should write a book on all these tips and tricks.

Get him qualified with another carrier then get a list of fleet owners needing van drivers from the carrier. Go over any offers he may get with him and help him make a decision. Just another way to go if everyone on here has their vans full at the moment.

mine should be easy enough.

Having a camera under your control (you own and control it) facing forward could save you a ton of headaches. I have a friend who drives for Landstar and has had his camera save him a couple of times. Once he was heading into a construction zone and at the point it went down to one lane he had...

So you are paying 85% of the load plus all bonuses? Wow how are you as a fleet owner making any money? I just can't see it being all that much trouble to add up bonuses from a load and multiply by .60 (if split is 60/40)

LOL I am always saying "the gas is on the right" when I see someone on a ramp. I know they can't hear me but once in a while they actually listen. I do move over a lane if it is clear and do not have to alter my driving as stated before. Nothing wrong with being a little nice lol and plus I...

The second article actually supports both sides.

I write this with no intentions to offend anyone. Just my honest and blunt opinion. With all that is wrong in this country and the world in fact today, this is an issue? It should be obvious this would never happen. It would be like if they tried to outlaw firearms and said they are going to...

I am sure if you choose to fight the ticket you could beat it. If this a reoccurring thing with new freightliners the yes I would agree this is a safety issue. I would be in contact with my fleet owner or dealer if you are an o/o asap.

If you are driving for a fleet owner I would discuss this with them. After all you are in what I consider a partnership with them and working together can only benefit you both. If you are a new o/o then I would suggest you talk the other drivers and o/o that are with your carrier and have the...

Depends on the current situation. If there are not a lot of on and off ramps and traffic is flowing good I will choose the right lane and reduce my speed about 5 mph. This allows me to maintain a constant speed and give entering traffic an easier time merging. This has actually saved my bacon...
