    Anyone running for a decent company who will keep the tires spinning? Just broke lease with former company, and got to get this thing rolling again, with someone who can make the grade. Have 2 trucks, one running sometimes (single, and SITS alot) and, if I could find a good place for BOTH of...

    Obama administration to revise trucker rule

    This Obama character is only here to ruin this whole entire economy anyway, and he's doing a great job of it. Can't believe that he's "conveniently" deaf to anything the American people want....all about his FAME and money. The FMCSA should have left the split sleeper along time ago. When...

    We Need You Prayers

    I'll be praying for you. I inadvertently married into one of the drug infested families, but not my wife....the kids are grown, drug infested themselves now, and spitting babies that we get to care for through the "system". Unless we can extract the babies from them, the cycle will continue...

    60/40 split?

    Got one truck on with Baggett and one with Polly (formerly with Bolt). Broke contract with Bolt due to base rates being down and drivers complaining, so dumped the contract and ate those costs.

    60/40 split?

    I agree, Hawk. Guess this guy wants the whole pay...never mind paying the truck payment, huh?

    60/40 split?

    Anyone see anything wrong with a 60/40 split, with the driver buying the fuel? Also need to add that owner pays all tolls, additives, and expenses otherwise incurred....gets none of the FSC. Also Norpass, prepass, XM radio....direct TV...not currently working, but getting fixed....wiring...

    Bolt express?

    I am an owner who recently just put my other truck back on with Bolt. I can't tell you what life is like now, but I CAN tell you they're a growing thriving company with their own customer database. I drove for them in early 2005, and they ran my tail off. I was OK with that part, but, as a...

    What are they thinking?!

    I can top that one. We have 2 trucks...one of which I put out of service until further notice, due to a lack of a godod driver. But, we took our other truck and continued to do business. We were home, and, at 03:30, my phone rang, with a run offer from the company I had put the truck OOS...

    IdleAire is Struggling

    I quit using them when my wife and I purchased a movie, only to find out they were running the minutes as well as the movie charge. The movie was terminated mid-stream, and we terminated our service. We have an APU and satelitte TV......no need for these overpriced people who take MORE than...

    I'm Out

    [/COLOR] I would say closer to DEPRESSION than recession, given the number of baby boomers retiring everyday, and the folks already on fixed incomes, and the fat oil billionaires thumbing their noses at a failing government....I'd say depression

    Truckers UNwelcome

    I would say after we spent about $100.00 in their restaurant that day, and the restaurant folks said it was OK to stay there.......should've been enough. BUT, since the night auditor and the RAC waited until the restaurant closed....then called the police, tells its' own story, doesn't it...

    Truckers UNwelcome

    After having done hotel management for 11 years prior to becoming a trucker, I could've totally understood, if we hadn't spent any money at their establishment, OR we were disturbing their guests by being there. But, since we DID spend our cash, and we weren't even in the hotel lot, but behind...

    Double AA Sleeper

    Really sorry to hear that Larry isn't in the sleeper business anymore. If the new owners can't deal with problems rising from their product, then guess our money can go elsewhere. Our inverter went bad on us, and we called Larry. He told us that, the next time we were in the area, to stop in...

    Double AA Sleeper

    I am really sorry to hear that Larry sold out. Nice to know that there won't be any warranties left with the new owners. I know we won't be buying anymore AA sleepers if that is the case. Good-bye, Larry....you were fair to drivers, and we will miss you. Sad to think that someone who treated...

    Truckers UNwelcome

    Tacoma, WA. King Oscars restaurant and hotel. We were told, by other drivers in our company, that this was a nice place to be. We delivered to the base on March 3rd, then drove to this establishment, ate some lunch, then later my wife and I got a room, so we could shower and relax. Our...

    Unfrickinbelivable

    Personally, I think we need to base our rates on what the country expects from us. ie; TA Road Squad charges $91.00 per hour, plus $1.30 per mile. The very least you can expect to pay per hour upon being put into a shop, is $75.00 per hour. Blown tire? How much? My own personal belief, is...

    Regulation, Free Trade and Mexican Trucks

    I totally agree that the only thing this NAFTA agreement serves is to further undermine our already strained economy. We have been inundated with nothing BUT regulation from our government, in the name of "safety", when, in fact, it is nothing BUT revenue. The "fearless leaders" in this...
