I was looking at the possibility of driving a Sprinter for a fleet owner to try one out and learn a little. I understand that there isn't much money involved and I am fine with that. I was trying to find a smaller company that might work out well and I was looking for suggestions if anyone knew...

My wife and I are working on starting a business that would mean I need to leave my current company for both time and ethical reasons. I can still be out on the road while she gets things started at home and I would still like to have some income coming in separate from the new business. I still...

I was thinking about putting this in the Truck Talk forum but thought it would work here as well. The vast majority of drivers will switch carriers at some point in their career and a big issue is the leftover remains if the previous company's logos and lettering. I think it looks pretty bad...

Does anyone feel like they are doing well running with a CV using the multi-carrier model? Any opinions on who the best carriers are that allow this practice? Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

It seems there might be some in Congress that think the new HOS rules were rushed. It could mean we will see a change back so we should keep an eye out. http://www.ccjdigital.com/congressman-says-he-wants-to-restore-commonsense-to-flawed-hours-rule/ Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums...

This is a story about the issues a family had while dealing with the death of their loved one. Have you made plans of what you would want your family to do if it happened to you? Would you expect the company you are leased on with to help...

I am trying to help somebody and was wondering what peoples opinions were of their company, good or bad. This would be for a H/W both with clean licenses, tanker, and will be getting hazmat. He has about 4 years TT experience and she will have just gotten her class B. I just wanted to get an...

This is a truthful article that is well written and applies to any driver from CV to TT. I got it from OOIDA's Facebook. http://m.startribune.com/?id=185386292 Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums mobile app

Due to some of the conversations in some other threads I was wondering if people would be interested in a driver's organization that is based more on actions or reactions by members of the group. I am not talking about kidnappings or murder but maybe being uncooperative during roadside...

I know this can be dangerous but I was thinking, if you are looking for a new company you could call the Driver Relations department to see the type of response you get to weed through all the ads. If the company your looking at has an email address or voice mailbox that no body bothers...

This is an article that happens to be about the company I am leased onto but I think it shows a bright spot and the idea that companies can find ways to grow even in bad times. I am not a fan boy or pom pom waver but I found it interesting that Bolt was able to increase business as much as they...

Thank you to Lawrence, Nick and Jenny, the vendors, and all that worked so hard to get the Expo put together and running. It was great to be able to attend Vans 101, see all the old trucks, talk with vendors, and meet forum members. On a side note I was disappointed no one asked for my...
