It's a little way out of town in Joliet but the Hollywood Casino is fantastic parking and always empty. They have good restaurants and, of course,...
Yes, yes, I know. Flat bet, drop-deck, oversized/overweight Pays better but a new driver is not qualified to pull that so please refrain the flame.
It sounds like you've got a good start. Because you mention lumper fees, I would strongly suggest not pulling reefer. Dry van pays less per mile...
Sure, it's just that a new driver like @Ladi-Jai has no idea what being a trucker is. It's hard to be the best at something when you have no idea...
Well, don't worry too much about being a great driver because that takes years of experience. Just don't hit anything and keep the door closed and...
In my humble opinion, Werner is great. Both my wife and I hired to Werner after school and had a very good experience. I actually stayed on with...
Ok, makes sense. I bought my truck in Nebraska and it was titled there. I paid no sales tax even though I live in Fl.
Yep. This is correct. Florida will charge you 6% on a purchased truck. The exception is if you've owned the truck for more than a year and are...
Sure, that's the great thing about o/o. Tou can run however hard you like. For instance, this past week, we were feeling a little crispy from our...

You know, I get what @zinita17601 is saying. Yes, immigrants take jobs but they also eat and use all the products we deliver, thus creating more...
Oh really! Weren't you just correcting the spelling of @TROOPER to TRUCKER? As you were so thoughtful as to (incorrectly) point out the...
By the way, the word 'deference' does not mean agreement. It means humble submission and respect.
Oh, do permit me to join the fray! @Powder Joints - Your post is so poorly written as to be almost unintelligible. "Means Y(lower case)ou agree...
I'm happy to help. Also, if your wife would like a woman's perspective, feel free to pm me. Women do have unique challenges in the job (e.g....
Owner/operator trucking is one of the last standing "mom-and-pop" industries. Most of the others have been pushed out by mega corporations. It's...
Ahh yes, the days of the dreaded dispatcher. I think you did it just right by refusing the load. Only better option, if you have a forced...
To all interested, my wife and I drive team and absolutely love it! It is the best job that either of us have ever had. I won't go into...
@TROOPER to TRUCKER - I hope you know, and think you do, that most truckers really do appreciate LEO being out there. We live on these roads and,...
I installed a deck in a Cascadia awhile back. I may be misremembering but it seems like the wires were miscolor coded in some way. Can't remember...
