Dudley's back at it. He's trying to get back into the trucking but under the name Baldwin Express. Has some kind of contract with Fortune. Beware...
I drove with Roadrunner for awhile. They are ok. Much better if you already own your truck. They don't have dispatchers as most companies do. You...
Seaboard Transport runs out of Guymon, OK and St. Joseph, MO. Since their main business is pork production, they don't nickel and dime drivers to...
Worked for Baldwin nearly 7 years. Managed to struggle until they started nickel and dining drivers to death. Finally left 1 1/2 years ago. Turned...

I guess you're supposed to know well in advance when you are going to reach that point of fatigue and stop before you get there. I have reached...
Can't imagine why I would even need a rearview mirror in my big truck. Don't like the idea of a camera in my 'home'. I think it might be an...
I don't get how this would benefit anyone but the shippers who will ship more freight at the same rates while putting more wear and tear on the...
My guess is he won't sign it and it will become law without his signature after 60 days. Maybe I should send him a letter to help him make up his...

I only fuel at Pilot when I get my weekly advance on my Comdata (to avoid the fee), or if it's the only thing around. Rarely park there -- lots...

It would be wonderful to have a nice truck stop in the Chicago area! Spend way too much time after delivering a load trying to find someplace to...
At one of those receivers now -- Albertson's in N Salt Lake City. Arrived really early -- appt at 9 pm, got here at 8:15 am. Tried the "but they...
Found an add on that works with your GPS system (Garmin, TomTom etc) that has low clearance information. They have a website that I can't post...
OK, I'll play mean ole mom and get this topic back on track -- all you kids -- back to your rooms :biggrin_25516: Oneshot and Triplesix...
I have driven a Freightliner and a Volvo with the two pedal (no clutch) 'auto-shift' and both handled downhills great. The Freightliner had the...
I drove teams in a 2007 Coronado for over a year and wouldn't set foot in one again. They don't get the nickname 'Freightshaker' for nothing....
You can pull out a copy of your road bible if you want to, but you would be asking for trouble. This would constitute "getting in their face" and...
Sorry to see them close. It's sad to see how many of these mom and pop truck stops are closing -- even ones that have always been busy. With the...
