Hey Frank. I beleive you have mistated. Delaware does have income tax, but it does not have a sales tax. Great for shopping.:)

I found a very inexpensive way to use my laptop & gps. I went to Staples bought a computer monitor stand & clamped it to a 2x4 base I made. It swivels & has an arm to move it back & forth. When not in use it moves over toward the passenger side . Cost about $25. To kep it on the stand you can...

I run as a single out here. I really don't see much of a problem. Some times you get treated better, sometimes not, by the shippers & receivers. It's mostly a matter of your attitude. I do have a word of advice. At night you're better off the stay away from rest areas. I ran into a problem one...

Well, I beleive that some companies seem to do a lot better in the East than others. So I guess it may matter who you run for. The company I'm leased to does not do alot of freight out this area, but we sure bring it in. Friends of mine leased to other companies get about 3 offers a day. It's...

I have a question about your post. Is this something hard to do. The tensioner went before in mine, broke down in TX, at night. I recently, went to have the S-belt changed because I thought that was what was sqeaky when I started it up. The mechanic said the belt is in great shape, so the squeak...

Yeah, I couldn't beleive it either when we started getting that tax taken out. You know Landstar, anything that makes them a buck, just like the LCN fee. I just bet bet now that we switched to qualcomm that will go up too. At least Landstar's bigwigs aren't starving

I agee Charlotte really needs a good truckstop, but lets not forget the north east. New Hampshire, Mass,Rhode Island...ect...

Gosh, I wish people would stop sending rumors. Check out there website. Someone had sent me an e-mail stating this, so the 1st thing I did was check out pepsico.com. They have a rumor page. x(

I take offense to someone who says I'm not acting professional, because I DO have an Alien with me. I talk to Marvin all the time he keeps me sane out there. I don't think I've ever offended any of my customers by having him either. We are all individuals, and we have the right to express...

Most of the time I'm a do-it-yourselfer, in the driveway. But I also do the self wash bays if I can find a cheap one. If you got someone else that wants to get a wash at the same time, you can get it done faster saving money. You help wash mine, I'll help wash your's.HEHEHE If you hang around...

Well, as you know a recruiter is just a saleman. LEA has really gone downhill. We seem to have lost a lot of customers. But the big guys keep telling us new ones are just around the corner. This has been the worst year ever with them. But ,you never know. It's 99% luck at being at the right...

Well, I'm sure a lot of you have health insurance . I'm trying to find decent insurance without going bankrupt. I currently have my health insurance through NASE, but the cost for just hospitalization just went up to $190 a month. Anybody got anyting better I could check out. x(

Yeah , I know about CLT & AGS, 80% of my freight comes from them. AGS used to be just about all I would run, but things have changed in this area. Just today while I was in the john got a call from MSP, told them I would take the load, but will call right back. With in 3 minutes it was given to...

Thanks for your answers. I'm currently with LEA. I've been in the Landstar sytem for 5 yrs. Two of those with Inway. It looks like I just may have to go back to T/T driving to make it out here. I live in the mid -atlantic states & there isn't any LEA freight here. I'm just getting tired of...

I'm interseted in anyone out there running on their own authority. I've just about had it with the company I'm leased to. Sitting at some truckstop for days, then moving hundreds of miles to chase some freight & sit some more. I would like to know ,how you get your freight, how much it costs to...

:D Try Landstar Express America, they have tractor trailers, plus you can get freight from all the sister companies,ie; Inway, Ranger, Ligon,ect. via the Landstar website.
