    Drivers Beaten By Security Guards.......

    I agree . His behavior was perceived as a threat and he was treated as such. Keyword is , His Behavior... Ego and attitude escalated the situation. Apparently social media is on his side due to only hearing the self serving side of the story and not being aware of all the nuances of the...

    Almost ready for the road.

    Very sorry about your cat. I appreciate your feelings and dedication to her. My fur buddy is 14 and slowing down but still on the road with me. A few years ago, another cat of mine died on Christmas when I was away driving class A and could not take her with, so that was rough to go through. I'm...

    Tips for driving a straight truck on snow and ice?

    First of all, Yes, it's a "feel thing" when it comes to knowing when you are losing traction. Knowing how your truck handles in good weather is key to knowing how to know when it does not feel right. You are smart for asking about this, that puts you ahead of the game. In my experience, losing...

    Come election day, I will be voting against everyone who sides with the orange Dick head and that includes everyone who voted to confirm Kavanagh.

    //// Best ELD ? ////

    Another good one is Big Road. Easy to use App that I downloaded onto a tablet, which keeps your phone free for other things. What I like best about it is a feature called Yard Move that gives you 5 miles that can save you from starting your clock when near a shipper waiting to load or unload or...

    Gas Van FSC

    Are any of the carriers paying a flat rate to straight truck owner operators also paying a FSC? And if so, how much? Mine is not, just curious. Fuel is getting more expensive and the bottom line is suffering, so a FSC would sure help. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    Can anyone give me the 411 on Heavy Weight Enterprises-Fleet Owner with Panther?

    Nervous newbie

    Want to read about how bad it can get? See the posts under Money Pit. Should have called it "Owner Operator Hell". Things are better now, even though I just spent 3 Grand on a new clutch. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    Nervous newbie

    Hi guys. Sorry to hear that you were turned down by Panther. Frankly, they can be kind of picky and anal, but in a weird and random way sometimes. I started with them and some of the people I saw and talked to at orientation really made me wonder what the recruiting process was looking for...

    Nervous newbie

    99% chance, but don't Panic, it's only winter... Better check with the talking heads on the weather channel, they enjoy getting us all in a tizzy for nothing... Put a skirt and some high heels on a meteorological news person and there you have it. Don't forget to check under the hood, I'll bet...

    Nervous newbie

    If they didn't hype it up, they couldn't say " you heard it here first folks, exclusively on the what not channel.." After a major weather event, that actually happened... It's all about ratings and how much they can charge the advertising people. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    The cost of staying warm

    A couple of quarts of hand sanitizer will fix that, only problem is that you have to apply it from the outside! Or on the door seals before you close the door, up to you... Works on frozen wipers too. After you get a jump start and get her going again... Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums...
