I run nights over Colorado mountain passes five nights a week. Up there, its always in the single digits at night. Even if you run the heater on...
Yep, that's about right. Its even funner at night with headlight glair hitting you in the eyeballs.
The trick on finding heavy line haul freight is to look on a map and find where all the big cities are. They are usually on the west coat, east...
Do you have to break pallets down? Just wondering. After 18 years of driving truck I don't think my back can break pallets down, but I can pull...
Isn't a 12 hour day just a typical day for a trucker? I don't know that I've ever had a good paying truck driving job where I didn't work 12-14...
Yep, those guys can really rile a person up. I hauled into Long Beach and Oakland for 18 months. Those union workers are some of the meanest...
I drove for them. They aren't bad. You'll take home anywhere from 750-950 a week, depending on the load. There are two runs. The Crete run goes...
Men got wimpier? What do you mean? I started logging when I was fourteen. Before that I shoveled sawdust starting in fifth grade under the hog. In...

Do some research online. If you spend some time researching you'll come up with 30 or 40 trucking outfits in North Dakota. If you do even more...
I ran for them. If you like being in the mountains and picking up lumber in isolated logging towns, it is a fun job.
I think they need to cut a hole in the bottom of those trucks. You can put your feet on the pavement and run like Fred Flinstone and Barney...
I suffer from some of the same stuff. My right leg took two years of massage therapy to get it better. Just recently I started having problems...
These are the dumbest questions I've ever heard.1. When you drive a truck you drive what you're given. All you can do is bug the mechanics about...
What Mark says makes sense. I've been trucking for fifteen years. I've picked many a brain from o/o's and leasers. My conclusion is that owning a...
I think Poker hound isn't smart. I can tell because it is usually the guy that likes to insult others that has a hidden craving to feel smart,...
Depending on your tax rate, that's works out to about 1850 every two weeks. If you have kids and get a tax break it might be closer 1950. If you...
This makes no sense. I hauled water and sand out in the oil fields, and yeah, the hoses are 40 or so pounds, but you don't bend over and pick them...
weren't you a boy hauler at one time?
