I think A LOT of police are corrupt. Simply because a few do the deed, and the rest cover up for them. I think a lot of city forces are corrupt. Detroit, Chicago, London, ON, Vancouver, LA, NY, New Orleans, many down south and in Ohio. Ft Wayne. Did you have a bond connected to you, in case you...

Scuba... this thread is 3 years old.

Hillary Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. O'Donnell! Ted Kennedy (singing): "The day Mary Jo Kopechne drove off the Chappaquiddick bri-hidge." John Kerry: "She stopped beating me four years ago. And I have a purple heart to prove it." B.Hussein Obama: "It takes a...

I, for one, am curious as to what recruiters would say in response to Phil's question. Unfortunately, Scott is no longer here. I'm sure he'd give as honest and in depth an answer as anyone can. Like Turtle, I wouldn't expect anyone to give away trade secrets. But to target recruiters for...

Jay... I've seen a T-600 with a 24' box. Nice setup! Ateam... never say never. They've gone from 45' to 48' to 53' trailers in a matter of a couple years. Another 5' on a straight truck would help, but at what cost? The turning radius would likely stink. If the extra length went off the back...

The big reason we have seatbelt laws is cause the insurance lobbyists. Another big reason is because the government is writing laws that "protect" us from being stupid... ie laws against personal choice. DOT mandates seatbelt use because it gives us the best chance to remain in control of our...

Yes, they have 1200+ trucks, but are all of them in service at the same time? A lot of ppl fail to realize that only 50-75% of trucks are in service at one time. 550 loads for 600 trucks is more realistic, tho in the good months, 550 loads for 900 trucks seems a little low.

A 30' box! LOL We didn't spec the truck out we're driving, just driving what's available. However, if we were to spec this truck out, first thing would be a lower torque rear-end. Second would be an automatic transmission. Drop axel would be perfect for this truck, as would a liftgate. Though I...

In a cargo van? Not likely. Sounds like someone blew him smoke. $1,500 to $1,800 are possible, but not consistant. That's more for a straight truck (and usually higher) than in a van. But the chances he'll be home most of the week in a straight truck is slim, at best. Unless he'll be running for...

I agree that a company has no say on how or when a contractor pays his drivers. However, I think a company has an obligation to terminate that contractor if he has a history of not paying his drivers. Too many times I hear drivers getting nothing but "we can't help" from companies, who know all...

Pack... I see your point. But I also see the reasoning behind occasionally taking freight that has little or no profit. Simple... if you're stuck in California with nothing for a week, it makes sense to get back to the freight zone. You can either dh, or take an ltl (or expedite van freight)...

Scott is giving straight scoop. My biggest logic for the business is: There comes a point in time that sitting ends up costing more than the fuel to dh back to the zone. Everyone of us has to figure out that point. Depending where you're at, it may be a day, it may be three days. If you're on...

Your best bet is to find a company that finds loads for your truck, rather than finding trucks for their loads. IMO, a company where the dispatch will actively look for something that will take you close to home when you need to go. As far as getting out of FL, most O/Os and drivers I talk to...

We got a list of trainers/testers from our Secretary of State in Michigan (aka. DMV). You could try there. Most needed you to have your own truck for testing, but some charge a small fee to use theirs. If that doesn't work out, find somewhere that trains bus drivers. If THAT fails, see if an...

You can't count on the companies to give you the straight scoop on an issue like this, as it's not in their control. Canada seems to take each case individually. The only way to know for sure is contact Canadian immigrations.

Also depends on what the charge actually was, as pertaining to Canada. A misdemenor DUI/DWI in the states rates as a felony there, and you'd have to contact someone for the rehabilitation thing, like jrcarroll mentioned. Other things, such as assault (or possibly domestic violence), I believe...

same thing with Express-1... Canada is a choice. Panther will let you stay out of Canada, but your rate will be .05/mi less than normal.

Panther requires no experience, and if I'm not mistaken, so does FXCC. It's not the same as it used to be. Not only do they want you to go to an orientation now, but they want you to magically grow experience too :7

the sun? what's that? ;)

since you have your cdl A, why aren't you using it? There's good money in E-loads... companies are starting to get overloaded with vans
