I've seen a show on the "death road"! Thats NUTS!! Thats one road you couldn't pay me enough to drive on...no way!

Oh No...my hubby and I have had a great few weeks in January. I figured it was just a fluke so we'll save our good fortune for the hard times. Drive Safe!

We are in Richmond, VA, sitting at a Pilot watching the snow falling. Its very pretty when you don't have to drive in it! Its probably 30 degrees or so outside.

You are talking about the story of my life...really. My husband and I married in 1999 and we decided that if "it" happened...it happened. One year, no luck...two years, no luck. After 4 years we went to the Dr...they couldn't find anything wrong. Then it seemed like everyone was getting...

Its been only 3 days and I've lost 3.5 lbs!! I'm about 50+ lbs over my "ideal" weight so I'll probably lose quite a bit the first week then I'm sure it will slow down. Its seems pretty easy to follow and the food isn't bad...there has only been one dinner selection I didn't care for (beef...

A week ago we went from WI to AZ, took an empty move to LA, sat for one day, then got a load all the way to GA! We also love getting out west every once in awhile! There is less traffic, a nice speed limit, and beautiful scenery. Plus CA has never disappointed us...Never! The 4 or 5 times...

Hey all! I just wanted to tell everyone about Nutrisystem! Its working really well in the truck! We swung by the house a few days ago because my big box (50lbs) of food had arrived! I had to clear out some room in the truck but I've managed to get it all separated and put away. None of the...

We've been hit with sooo many randoms these past 6 months and I don't know why?? Two days ago my husband and I BOTH had to go for a drug screen (his 3rd...my 4th in 6 months)!! I drink only water...could this be the reason? Are my screens coming back dilute? No one has told us anything. Oh well.

This has happened to us twice now... We accepted a load with a certain amount of miles, picked up and delivered without a problem. We sent in our paperwork then a day or so later our QC beeps with another copy of the receipt for that load. Upon further inspection everything was the same...

I can't believe how hot laptops get!!! We just bought a cooling device from Walmart that works great! It only cost 24.99 and plugs in through your USB connection (doesn't need to be plugged into the wall which is great because thats one less cord to worry about). The device is a small plastic...

We had a funny load a couple of months ago. We delivered some food packaging late one night to a Cadbury factory in Illinois. The hubby went in to see where we should dock and came out with a hair net on his head and face! LOL!! (He has a long goatee). After he docked and was about to walk...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Wow! Good for you layoutshooter...you must be doing something right (or extra lucky). To think the hubby and I were actually excited to get a run over 200 miles today.

If two identical trucks run the same loads with the same FSC and buy the same price of fuel...after you crunch the numbers the drivers on the 60/40 split probably do make more. BUT we have to look at the BIGGER picture. As we sit here (having our slowest week all year) I'm not freaking out like...

My husband and I drive for Charlotte and Terri and the 40/60 split works well for us. Our previous owner had us pay for the fuel (but we only received 52% + fuel surcharge) and some weeks went so badly that we went into the negative! Sure, we made some poor choices...we were new to the...

I'm sure everyone can understand your frustrations (whether your with Panther or not) We hate the QC sometimes too (especially when I'm driving at midnight and my hubby is "trying" to sleep)! LoL! I wish you nothing but the best. Some people fit better with Panther, some with Fedex...others...

Thanks SHARP327...Thats what we thought happened to our first plate so thats why we switched to a bracket like the one your describing. The officer said he is almost certain that this one was taken because the bolts and bracket are almost brand new and apparently someone removed the nuts and...

To clarify: We did notice the plate missing each time RIGHT AWAY. The first time around we didn't assume that it was stolen...we just blamed it on a wind storm we traveled through(I meant a few days earlier from the time of the ticket). About the ticket, we had to travel without the plate for...

A few months ago our plate turned up missing. After realizing it was gone (and a nice ticket later) we blamed it on a bad wind storm we went through a few days earlier. But, its gone again! My husband put on a new bracket etc after the first incident so thats not to blame. We know for a fact...

RE: Women in Trucking - am I too old at 55 to take I was nervous too when we started out on this adventure. I went from a small town only knowing how to drive an automatic car and now I drive a FL112 7 speed double clutch straight truck (took some practice). I found that when we first started...

We drive team in a straight truck so my advice comes from our point of view: We don't accept EVERY load...some loads are just crap. If the load is going to a crappy area ask for extra money to get you to a better location after delivery...the worst dispatch can say is no. (right) Ask for...
