WOW Rich I never thought of that. I'v heard of people doing that on Long Island so they could sleep in someones loading dock after the store is closed but I never thought to try it at Wal-Mart

Msinger, don't try to park your unit at the Wal-Mart on the south side of Charlotte. About 2 months ago the security guard was on me before I got my lights off. He said Wal-Mart trucks and cammpers only. I asked him if this was a new company policy, or just the store in Charlotte. His...

I guess the signs that the J puts up that says no bob tails or box trucks in rv parking area don't mean anything unless you get towed, then i bet the drivers would say the sign was not up when he parked No one wants follow the rules anymore, do they

OK DRACO. I guess you found out about common courtesy. Most of the people here think you are the one who is wrong. I don't think that way but the "real truck drivers" seam to think so.

You would be surprised what some people do. I once gave a brand new van to a driver who as I found out later didn't have any intention of hauling freight in it. She only needed a truck so she could load up all of her stuff so she could leave her husband. Revovering the van was a real...

Well, you don't have to use the showers right away. They are just a credit on your card. Kinda like a savings account. They are good for I think 7 days then they expire. Then if you get a co-drivers card, that card earns showers also. If you don't have a co-driver or they are not with you...

If you get a frequent fueler card from flying j and purchase 20 gallons of gas or diesel you will get 1/2 shower and 1/2 drink credit. So everytime you fuel 2 times you get a free shower. The big trucks must purchase 25 gallons and 50 gallons at a time but the j lets people who fuel out front...

If the truck broke down through no fault of the driver, I believe the owner should pick up the tab from the first night, however there should be a maximum amount. If not some drivers would live very high on the hog. If however the owner should find out that the driver told the shop to take...

KW if you feel no shame and don't think what you did was wrong, why don't put out as much info on yourself as you did on bonnie. That way anyone can call you up, ect. You made a mistake and the fact that you don't think you did anything wrong really goes a long way in telling the world what...

Way to go Bonnie! I notice that at least have your name posted on your profile, thats more than some people, if ya know what I mean.

I read somewhere where FedEx Custom Critical now has a program that matches drivers up with owners. It sounded very good on paper, but if it works it would be a great thing. How about it Terry or some other FECC people? I think it was in the latest On Times.

I don't know what kinds of workers comp everyone has, but mine is whith the state and it has ltd included. Most everyone might have it and don't know??

Thanks for being a VET

this has nothing to do with training, but have you considered what your wife would be giving up as far as bennys? I'm sure that if I had a loving wife I would want her with me, but the cost of medical insurance alone is out of reach for most of us. Best of luck to the both of you.

as per another post, he died last night about 10pm

Wasp and Hornet spray can be carried in you truck, and you can really reach out and touch someone if need be. Of course if the other guy has an AK47, just bend over and moon him, by the time he quits laughing you can be out of the county.

I do believe you only need the msp if you are picking up freight that is going to be delivered in Michigan. Youn can't do that, can you???

Raceman, do you really think that waiting on freight and the HOS should have anything to do with vacation? This man was hired with the knowledge of his vacation plans and if the owner wants to change the rules at this time his word is no good. I was told at an early age that a man is no better...

You are ok, its your owner who needs help!

Thanks, RobA. It's a shame that most of us in the states know very little about Canada, while most people from Canada know more about the US than we do.
