    800 number is a thing of the past. Stone ages more like it. You must have a carrier and plan from the 80’s. WAKE UP .........

    Nice try, your “blog” didn’t get you enough attention so you came here and started lying trying to feel important instead apparently.

    You’re not fooling anyone anymore.

    Thanks for confirming this. I called his lies out a couple months ago and said I bet he has one truck leased onto Landstar... Looks like I was right.

    Unbelievable that someone would come onto a forum and do nothing but repeatedly lie. Pretty sad.

    My favorite is when a guy remembers how we used to drive cabovers in the early 70s that went 125 mph!

    Just get a regular number and be done with it. There used to be a time when area codes did matter some, but that isn’t the case now. Used to be that your area code told you what region you were in, and your prefix told what town you were in. Now, with people carrying their old number with them when they move and such, it’s all mixed up and the above formula doesn’t really apply.

    In my area, they have basically run out of numbers, so they are assigning any new numbers a new area code. This means that your next door neighbor can have a different area code that you do.

    Another vote for a free Google voice number. You can forward your Google Voice number to your phone so you don't really have to keep up with two and no one knows your real number. My Google voice number is the company number on the side of my truck.
