A few months back I put up a post for you guys to watch a special two hour show on Fox's F/X channel called "Oil Storm". Nobody responded to that post but if you guys watched it, it pretty much predicted a hurricane comming up the gulf and taking out all the refineries and causing problems for...

What ever happened to PNV? I remember when I first started in the truck driving business it seemed like the best thing since low rate cell phones and truckstops with clean bathrooms. It wasn't uncommon to see rigs parked with cable and telephone wires connected to yellow boxes on the ground and...

Idle-Aire seems like a real good idea and way to save money without idling ones engine. I went to Idle-Aire's website but was surprised to see nothing advertised about their price. Does anyone know how much this thing costs??? Also I thought, if not a lot of truckstops have this system on their...

I was talking to my sister the other day and she told me how she was driving on the highway doing the speed limit when a girl driving a SUV and talking on her cell phone rear ended her at 20 mph over the speed my sister was driving which also made her slam into the guardrail. Now get this when...

I've been posting heavily for the past month and a half, but took time off to give others a turn.LOL I have to agree with Broom, I too haven't seen too much posts, or posts dealing with topics that were worth replying too. In order to get other drivers out there to start posting more I might...

Freightliner of Knoxville is great, I've never met Jon or some of the other salesmen and women and thats just fine with me. I like going to that Freightliner and checking out their wonderful selection of trucks without some sales guy breathing down my neck. When I'm ready to buy a new rig I'll...

$189.00 for a seat pad, hot dam! That thing better be able to save my a$$ in a rollover.LOL It looks like passing gas would be a lot easier while sitting on it.LOL I'm on a roll today, don't mind me.

Thanks for the info ATeam, I was planning on buying an ATV next year, now I know where I can ride it and get my money's worth out of it.

Changing your fuel filter on a diesel isn't like changing your oil filter. You have to fill the filter up to the top with fuel(very messy) and then replace it.

Terry and Rene know their stuff

This forum topic cuts both ways and is equal right down the middle. I didn't start this topic but I'd like to thank everyone for contributing to it and stating that both owners and drivers are to blame and need to have a business sense, knowledge of the expediting industry, and how to save money...

Sorry to hear that LDB, for some reason garages think that all truckers are rich no matter how big our rig is. We've all got taken one way or another out here, just remember which garages treated you right the first time and pass along the info.

I collect pampers filled with poop and sell them to biomedical plants where they harvest the stem cells and some how us it to make a vaccine that cures cancer.

Good that means there will be more fuel for me, cause T/A is too cheap to and anything other than ketchup and mustard to their hot dogs.

Your right, one day I was really hungry and stopped at the CiCi Pizza in Dalton, Ga. I couldn't believe the price and the pizza wasn't bad. Hell I kept going back to the buffet table for more. I wouldn't take a woman there on a date but I would treat myself there for good pizza at a good price.

I know a guy who used to drive for Ground, he'd tell me there was money to be made but only if you had a good route. If you didn't then the work you put into delivering your loads wouldn't feel worth it. The most I heard of anyone working for Ground was grossiing $1200 to $1500 and by the end of...

What I ment to say was if your driving a truck for an owner and one of the headlights goes out, don't call the owner and ask him to send you the $10 or $20 dollars to fix it, jut do it yourself. But if something were to go wrong that costs in excese of $100 or $150 hell you've got to be crazy to...

I agree with what Davekc said, there are both good and bad drivers and owners in this business. I have had both owners and co drivers that have pissed me off to the point that I can't take one side over the other. When it comes to owners there is a greed factor involved and that is to blame...

I too came to that same conclusion and realized on 9/11 how small and meaningless my problems were compared to the people stuck in the Twin Towers who's only way to escape the fire and or smoke was to jump to their deaths. They knew that either way they were going to die but they took the route...
