    It definitely benefits the people who accept everything and don't take time off since the points do not reset. It does have a algorithm that gives more or less points based on where you rank. In theory, so someone doesn't run away with points. So creating freight socialism lol. It has some good...

    Florida , "DEAD ZONE"

    Lot of stuff goes into Florida, but very little comes back out. Best to just stay out unless you get a good rate going in and prepared to dead head out.

    Happy New year from Syracuse New York. I've been sick since Christmas, took 3 weeks off. First week back on the road, I'm about 95% over what ever I had. It wasn't horrible, just nagging and dragging on. Spent $2400 on general maintance items and 2 new steer tires to start the new year off...

    With it getting darker sooner, by 8PM I'm ready for bed, usually sooner haha. Was off for another 3 weeks after being out for 4 weeks. 1st week back may have been the highest grossing week for me. So that means this USA Thanksgiving week will be subpar lol. I'm pretty beat. I'm planning on...

    How Much?

    I drive and own a solo straight truck right now, and struggling. I'm sure there are some fleet owners doing well, I just don't know any. It's a struggle for anybody, especially right now with low rates and lack of freight/high competition. And the cost only increase with straights. Teams have...

    How Much?

    Owners can't keep drivers in the van as it is. Too many people getting a piece of a small pie. 1 van operation with a driver would be hard to make anything worth wild, and you have all the risk. It's not as easy as it sounds.

    I'm back haha. I've been off work for a month after my truck was hit by a run away forklift. Yeah, you read that right. Was dealing with some back and neck pain as a result. Due to possible litigation I don't want to discuss it more. In a unrelated event, I just dropped $8,600 to get my turbo...

    How Old is Too Old?

    He's been back with L1 in a Sprinter running OTR with his wife for a couple of years now. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Sad thing is he has grossed 10K more then me in a van and took 6 weeks off this year. He drives for an owner, but still the van grossed more then I have in a straight...

    How Old is Too Old?

    I know someone in his 70's doing it OTR. He used to post on here, I haven't been able to get him to come back on. I don't think you can go by a number. For old timers, I'm talking about wombat.

    Got my new remote for the fantastic vent fan... Good News- it seems to work. Bad News - Nothing changed. Still runs on slow speed. I reversed the fan direction and that didn't sound good at all. So probably a motor issue going on. Lid up down doesn't work, so rain sensor doesn't work. This is...

    It's a Team's Life To Accept or Not Accept, That is the Question : Kelly Plumb

    It's a tough call. Sometimes taking a load that screams no, could start a chain of good loads. Other times your kicking yourself for accepting.

    I just took 9-10 days off at home. I was back in-service last night, then went out of service. Last week my fantasic vent fan started to only work on low speed, which pretty much doesn't suck in any air through the window. Problem is I have never had the remote for it and that's the only way to...

    This midwest trip has been interesting. Pretty sick of mountain driving and no grass for my dog. After my drop in new mexico. I planned on dead heading back east. But got a load out of El Paso going to Louisville, Ky for Monday delivery. Despite being July and being out west, this has been a...
