Well, I was reviewing the fact that I got to my IRP renewal far too late. And once again I am up the proverbial creek and I forgot the proper equipment. I had never heard of keeping state by state mileage and fuel records for each load, and while I've kind of found a way to still pull off...

What gives? Are things seasonally this bad? I've been out for a few days, and I come back, and it seems the freight is gone. I haven't seen a load over 100 miles yet, and all have had an amount of deadhead that could easily be considered excessive. Is this just Michigan, or is everything slow...

Well folks, as some of you might have predicted, my team operation is going it's seperate ways. I finally told J that it wasn't working, and on our next time home, the 8th, I will be dropping him off. IT was hard to break a money making operationj up, however one must look past the dollars and...

Broom's post about the Ford GT ride got me thinking. What do we all keep at home? Are you like me and figure that If you drive it 3 days a month, why have a payment? Or like my co-driver and have the nicest set of wheels you can afford for your hometime? Let me know what your thinking is...

Hey, can anybody give me a definite answer... Will the reciever from streets and trips work with co-pilot 4? My reciever went out, and now ALK is giving me the run-around. I need to figure this out. I'm heading back out this comin friday and with out the GPS I may as well stay home.

Hello folks. I may have just made a grave error. I accepted a load to Fort McMurray. In the winter. Anybody have any helpful input? Where do I need to have chains? On which tires? Should i get a winterfront? Where can I get chains? Any other tips? Just stressing it setting all this up, any...

I finally got all the new lights hooked up. Figured I'd share a pic.

Hello all. We are currently on a run to Nogales Arizona. 2160 paid miles. This is my first run out this direction as an expediter. I was wondering if much ex frieght leaves AZ or, maybe a suggestion on a good place to d/h to. Any help would be great.

I was just hoping to hear from a few P2 drivers on their opinon of how things are looking right now. SO far, for us, the supposed gain in customers hasn't helped us at all. I had 2 good days, but other than that this team is sitting more than I did as a solo. It seems that all the boards I...

Well, unfortunately, due to the breakdowns, we will not be at the Expo this year. I hate to do it, but my better buisness sense made the call. With 2 days out of service with this box and QC damaged, coupled with 3 off while my co-driver was in orientation, we can't afford to take time off right...

Can anybody suggest a good shop that can repair a roof on a van body? Something close to Commerce, GA? We managed to put two holes in the roof, and put a major dent in my QC dome. Low tree branch on US-129 in North GA. Now, here we are, on Saturday night, out of service. It will be noon Monday...

Hey, I'm at the T/A in Seville, OH until Wednesday. My co-driver is in orientation. If anybody is in the area, stop by, we'll grab coffee. I'm the red KW T300 in the back.

I dug this one up last night as I was surfing around. If anybody else is a fan of the old-school trucks with 2-stroke Detroit Diesels, then check this out. http://www.telusplanet.net/public/ryq/ Play the sound files of Big Red Express . Big Red was a canadian truck that competed in the Big Rigs...

I searched high and low to find a laptop stand that didn't attach to the passenger seat, with no luck. Anybody else with a T300 knows that the cabs are quite tight, even more so if a co-driver wants to sit up front for a while. I purchased a home-fabbed stand from a Jevic Transportation driver...

At the end of the coming month, actually 1 week before the Expo, my co-driver will be joining me. We have alreday come to a good agreement on pay, time off etc... My biggest question is, how do i work out paying him to keep it legal as far as taxes? he'll be a 10-99 setup, as I am. I never...

I just happened to run into an old P2 friend here at the T/A in Antioch. any EO members?

I had these attachments sent to me by a friend. I told him the price didn't seem bad, but I'm wondering If i'm the only one that thinks the placement of the drive axles is a little off. I don't think they actually stretched this tractor, just attached the box. Or am I seeing things? The box is...

Wow! Sorry i haven't been on here much, but I have to turn down loads to get time to wash the truck! I've been running nonstop these past 2 weeks. From 500 miles runs to 4 short runs in one day. (the only time I had to sit was when I lost a water pump on this past Saturday) Is everyone else...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I could not find anything in a search. I am adding a co-driver soon, a good friend of mine, and i plan to pay him as a 1099. Do i have to start an LLC now, or what? I'm completly uneducated on taxes, and finances.

For any of you out there that do your own work like I do, here is a great source for slleepr items like a/c units, microwaves, and any other sleeper items from cupholders to gensets. https://www.rvsurplussalvage.com/index.php Just thought i'd pass this along.
