I am looking for a job running hopper freight in the Carolina's or even the SE region. I ran hoppers in IL, and loved every minute of it. It was...
Hi, I have some experience, but not enough to get the jobs I want. It's frustrating. I was not offered a job that paid $1k a week because I...
US Xpress can't be too bad. They're picky enough to not like my CV. I don't appreciate the bias that exists in the industry against local work....
I have about a year of experience driving trucks. I drove for Werner for 6 months, but left because pay was low. I did some spotting and then...
In the past, I lived in Louisville, KY. This was before I had a CDL. When I transferred my license, I just had to pay the $20 and take a new...
I mind myself pretty well and I see bears all the time. So far I've had no trouble from them. Hopefully that won't change. One of our drivers...
I've always liked the FLD. They're a good truck and not too expensive... In the mean-time, I might go through some of that double-sided tape.
It rattles under Idle. I am not aware of any engine mount issues. The truck has less than 400k miles. I will take a more thorough look at the...
You've got me beat. Mine rattles, badly.

We are within 100 air-miles of wherever we go, so we don't keep logs. If anyone does take a longer trip, they keep logs. So far, I am not aware...
I just saw a couple of pictures of a Columbia daycab that had a lot of chrome and lights. It looked pretty good. The hood and grille were not...
Thanks for the info. I was hoping someone was making a retro-style hood, grille and bumper that makes a newer Freightliner Columbia look like an...
I have never been pulled-over and inspected, except once, last summer in Miami and I was with a trainer. We had no violations. I'm sure it will...
I recently got a local job working for a company doing local, mostly agricultural-related trucking. I am really enjoying the work I'm doing. I...
Is it possible to get custom grilles and hoods that will give the newer Freightliner trucks (including Columbia) a nice, retro look?
I see 3500 dually trucks pulling gooseneck or fifth wheel trailers on the interstate a lot. I hear these guys get paid pretty well, too. If it...
Desperate for a local job with more consistent pay and home-time, I called a number a friend gave me for a local logging company. It was a huge...
