    i would have to agree with the OP; i've given GOLD---i've posted and continue to post my pay stubs. i am unbiased and 100% honest in my posts.

    Yet, i've only gotten like two useful pieces of information this whole time on this "board."

    Kevin Rutherford was right: Most trucking boards ARE garbage.

    Let's not let him be right anymore.

    Society is full garbage. You can say the same thing about any forum.... Trucking, science, hippie, failbook, any "social media". It's akin to listening to the CB.

    It's not like anyone spewing thier opinion for money is going to be much better.

    Walk up and talk to anyone anywhere and you will see the same thing.

    I started driving tractor trailers in 93. Had a year in a dump truck before that. Ive always enjoyed teaching people the ins and outs of the field as far as driving and things that will get you in trouble. Lately though it seems that some people coming into the field out of school young or old don't want to hear what you have to say or are quick to point out things that you are doing differently than they were taught, like being told I should never float gears. Then you watch them drive away loaded starting off in 4th or 5th gear slipping the clutch like they're in a Honda civic. I guess all you can do is try.

Also am looking for a company around Columbus, Ohio that will give me a chance. I'm willing to get a weekly home or bi-weekly. Local , dedicated or Regional.

    Personally I think it is I’ll advised to share more than one knows. It would be very easy to give false information, and honestly, that could actually be dangerous. Stick to sharing what you know and no more.

    you will always find one that had a bad day and says something they shouldnt. But, this forum is a world of knowledge for new truckers. dont let one driver discourage your dreams, there is plenty of help here, good luck.

    The problem, here on this forum specifically, is too much smart-alec retorts and not enough REAL DISCUSSION about REAL TOPICS.

    Sorry, but i would have to disagree that the same would apply to any forum; You might see a little joshing and ribbing on a physics or medical forum, but then they would get into the meat of the discussion. But for some reason, truckers feel that it's how you feel (and thus the need, the compulsion, to be smart-alec-y) that's as important, if not MORE important than the topic itself.

    Yes it might breach two if there is no drawing winner of jackpot Tuesday, Arkansas powerball is probably half a bil by now not as popular or having 44 states worth of people throwing money at it.

    Part of the trouble with the jackpots is that the balls being drawn is in a range having been consistent more or less the last 14 drawings. This Nation in terms of population is around 340 million. Everyone has had a shot at it. Possibly if you issued a unique number powerball combo to everyone you will still have a posible number not drawn to jackpot.

    I'll be on this train this week. Early elections in the morning and then buy the next 4 drawings, two each powerball and mega. (Three dollars a game, it's worth it to put down a dollar extra. Last time i got too cheap got me a 38 dollar payout but because it was only a two dollar game it did not award the few thousands it would have it fi was. So I play the full 3.00 ticket every time.

    I'll probably take the last 20 numbers average them out mean average and throw it down the machine to see what comes up. (Nothing, zip, nada, forgetabout it et)

    Funny thing, Ive participated in most of the jackpots that were number one in prize money to the winner. That is what brings me out to play a few dollars. They say it's easier to get hit by lightning than it is to get this one. Ive been hit 3 times so far and Im still here. I wont be around after the 4th.
