    They can still track you through your phones GPS. Paranoid? Hell yes! I would even go so far as to guess that there is another small battery in your phone, kind of like the small battery in your computer which keeps all of the settings, even if the power is off. If you really want to make sure the big brother is not tracking you do this: take out the battery, and wrap your phone in aluminum foil when not in use. Blocks any and all possibility of any transmissions from or to your phone.

    I do not want to do a lease. They are requiring it.

    I am not a vindictive person by nature, but these people are just terrible. They lie about everything, and pretend to be good Christians. Say they will pay you one thing, and then pay less. (If a tire blows, we will pay you to change it, what a repair company would charge.) The truck has blown 2 tires, and I have changed them twice. I did not recieve one red cent. Will not pay percentage, just the most expensive car each way. Minimum $150. Oh but hell no, only 1 car down, we can only pay you 1/2 of a car. The same pay from Atlanta to Jacksonville and back, as from Atlanta to Jacksonville, to Orlando, to Tampa and back???

    The only reason I can think of for you desiring to operate under a cloak of secrecy is that you are involved in covert subversive activity.
    But if that were the case, you would probably have something more sophisticated than aluminum foil.
    Also you would not be discussing this on a message board where big brother could be reading it.

    Or maybe that is part of your master plan. Appear to be clueless and they will never suspect you of being an international terrorist.

    You are embarrassing the rest of us down here.

    I am just looking for a boss that is fair and reasonable. The last job I had I made over $800 a week, 100% no touch, mostly drop and hook. But they are a moving company that tried freight, and it did not work out. Made .35 CPM empty or loaded. I sure miss that company. But I do love hauling cars. Gives me some exercise. And here is the best part: you get to test drive cars, without a salesperson present!!! Driving a Dodge Charger with a Hemi in a parking lot to 50 MPH is a blast, but it can scare you, when you realize that you have to stop that beast.

    I do use my CB to communicate with foreign govenments. We use a numbers relay station.

    Line up another gig. You see trucks all the time. When you stop at a truckstop, auction yard, whatever... and see a driver thats doing what you want to do, INQUIRE!

    Bet he can supply you with names and phone numbers right then. You can jump out of your gig on Friday and be in a new rig on Monday if you do it right.

    I did that once. I was working for a company called Osborn in Gadsden,Alabama. My dispatcher was always supposed to get me a load for the weekend so I could go home for the night (I lived 90 miles away). The idiot would always leave out, and I would come rolling in on Saturday, have to drive all the way home and all the way back on Monday. I got pissed and started looking for a new gig.

    Saw a driver rolling a truck that I wanted to roll in. I chatted with him and got some company info and the name of the owner (small company). Drove Osborn's truck into their yard and applied for a job. They called me a couple days later and on the way back south to Osborn, I cleaned my truck out. Monday, I was in a new truck.

    The thing about the smaller companies is that they will almost always have a bonehead driver that the owner would like to get rid of, if he could only find someone that would jump into bonehead's rig at the drop of a hat. Sounds to me that youre ready to jump and youre just waiting for a hat to drop.

    If you want to haul cars, talk to other guys driving parkinglots and see how theyre doing. Even with all the drivers out looking for work today, you will have an advantage because you are rolling right now. Just make sure the money is right before you jump.

    Doesn't matter unless you take the battery out.
