    Hmmm just how random

    I now personally require at least a 5 day advance notice for any kind of test like this in order to allow me plenty of study time!

    question about randoms

    With a company I worked for about 10 years ago I was tested 2 times in one weel and then later tested 3 times in one month. The company only had 18 drivers at the time and candidates to be tested randomly were selected by a computer system called SAMI I think. I guess the computer just liked my...

    I miss the old layout!

    When I first looked at the new site, I thought Oh My Gosh! But its things like this that have turned me into a truly High Tec Redneck. It's no different than switching from a simple truck like I used to drive to the KW I now drive. The KW has a cock pit full of guages buttons and switches. I'll...

    On the cusp of a new year what is your wish???

    I just want to stay more focused on dreams and ambitions! I've learned from past experiences that when a person looses sight of their goals that it is a very short trip to complete failure! Pappy :)

    And some of you want truckers with guns?

    Buckeyewildman, I know where you're coming from too! I've got a southern redneck and cherokee bloodline and have been blessed with a buckeye wife for 18 years now. Yep, leave the wife and our kids out of it. Also leave my Mom and my sister out of it! I'm sure you meant to add your mom and sis to...

    And some of you want truckers with guns?

    Robsdad, I too long for the good ole days but I'm afraid Merle Haggard summed a lot of things up in one of his songs! "The good times are over for good"! Pappy :)

    How bad is it?

    I just saw a news special that blatently stated: Whatever the value of your home today---It will roughly be the same value 10 years from now! Unbelievable---No appreciation in 10 years. At this point I'm not planning on buying any spec houses. However, due to the severe drought conditions in...

    Vitamin Question

    My wife and I both do Centrum Silver. according to our family Doc, they're a good choice. Also according to the Doc, all the Mega, Ultra Mega etc. junk does is cause you to pay a high price just to turn your PEE dark yellow. Pappy :)

    Extra Money, on the side

    Moot, surely you're not making fun of the ads in backs of mags'. Here's a little something for you to do. Find several copies of a good mag,say "Popular Science" as an example.

    Cost of hiring a new driver

    Lets forget about the cost of advertising, recruiters and all the crap! If you own a tractor-trailer, you can qualify a driver(physical-drug screen-etc) and put him on the road for around $300.00 and thats the bottom line! Pappy :)

    Dispatchers?

    37 years dealing with dispatchers and agents has told me a few things. I personally think that anyone who is considered to be a dispatcher candidate should have at least 3 to 5 years over the road driving experience. I have seen more than one dispatcher end up with his nose under his ear simply...
