How bout them Boy's

Skipper — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:25:49 GMT

Well the Cowboys won against the Panthers on Monday Night Football 21 - 7. Then again they got off to a fairly lethargic start in the game with lots of penalties and mistakes, but at least they didn't turn the ball over like last week. The defence came to play, but penalties and missed tackles abound, and yet held the Panthers to only 1 score. Thanks for the turnovers defence without them it would have been quite a struggle. The Cowboys have some work to do, however if they can keep their head in the game and not get flustered by their mistakes to the point of being psyched out it's going to be a good season

Why some companies still on here?

Thomas20 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:28:49 GMT

I look through this website and found several companies like Priority Transportation, TRL, WH Trans, and Jim Palmer. That all have bitten the dust. Why should I apply on here if you're going to send my app to those people? And are you going to my app to companies that I don't work for? Seems like big waste of time to me.

Transfer CDL to Another State?

Rollbar — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:19:46 GMT

Hello, I need some information (since the Fla/Bama offices are closed today). I have a Class "A" CDL w/Hazmat/tanker & wish to move my residence to Bama. Does Bama recognize my license or how does it that work? Is testing needed or ?. I have a clean/spotless record. Use to drive for a little bit and probably going to get back in it since the kids are growing up :) . Been in Fla all my life & time for a change since the kids are moving etc.

Thanks,

Jim

Lot Lizzard Directory-I need your help?

purrfectkitty — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 05:57:29 GMT

Ladies and Gentlemen I need your help? I am writing a book and yes it's all about our favorite pets or pests (however you may refer to them) the illusive lot lizzard. I need a list of truck stops, rest areas any where you may have encountered them post them in your replies. To date I have employed and interviewed two girls for my tell all book. This book is meant to enlighten everybody on THE oldest profession in the world. I have learned so much and have found myself to be less judgmental about these women. You can expect the good as well as the bad to be included between the pages and if I find your personal story to be of particular interest I may ask you to sit for an interview. Who knows you could have star value. So I need your help? Lets set the record straight. In advance, Thanks!

Dirvers and Trucking Carriers CSA 2010 is Coming

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:28:18 GMT

FMCSA is revamping SafeStat to CSA 2010. This is a notice to ALL drivers and Trucking Companies to get the facts today and begin preparation for the coming storm.

We have already done a number of CSA 2010 Interviews with carriers in some CSA 2010 Test States and it isn't looking pretty. One company predicated 175,000 drivers would lose their jobs. Another was thrown into a full audit and most interviews indicate there is a total lack of understanding on how the new safety rating works with the inspectors.

I strongly urge all drivers to get the facts know what's coming, contact your company, get a DAC Report and if at possible go back 3 years on your DMV. See what tickets, warnings, and inspection tickets you got as your starting safety score will be based on 3 years of driving history.

Get on your CB and begin spreading the word to ALL drivers. This new mandate is going to throw the trucking industry upside down if your not prepared.

We have a website full of information www.CSA2010.com that will help you better understand and prepare for the coming storm.

I tested positve for pot in 2002. Will it show on my DAC now?

mongo9584 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:31:04 GMT

I got hit with a random test the only time I screwed up. It was sometime mid to late summer in 2002. I was fired for it. Since then I have not driven. Will this show up on my DAC?

WARNING TO ALL DRIVERS LOOKING FOR WORK

truckintyger — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:53:28 GMT

DO NOT go to work for hendrickson trucking. They have a lease option with no money down and no credit check, but you'll barely get enough miles to make your truck payment. i'm there now and i'm getting out. they promise 2500 miles but i've barely seen 1500. they're like a 50 year old easter egg. it looks good on the outside but once you crack it open it stinks to high heaven.

return-to-duty status

kingpin007 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:45:39 GMT

Hello fellow truckers! I have run into a BIG problem, and I need some help. I smoked a couple of puffs of marijuana on one of my off days. About three weeks later, I got called in for a random, and of course,failed it and got fired. I have since then successfully completed the D.O.T's return-to-duty status requirements. This is a program that they have in place, so that a driver has to successfully complete before they can return to safety sensitive duties. So, I borrowed the 500.00 that it cost, and completed the program, that took about 2 months. Now I find that many carriers and their insurance companies, have a ZERO tolerance policy. They are treating this as if I were a high profile felon.I have all the proper documents/certificates as proof of my completion. I am asking you drivers if you can help me with any info that may help me to get back to work. I don't smoke anymore,of course. I am just looking for someone that will hire me. Someone that will give me a chance, and let my GOOD driving record of 19 yrs, ( accident free, no speeding tickets,strong work ethic, and approx. 2 MIL miles), be the determining factor. Not focus on the the mistake that I made. I have unemployed since March 2009. I am ready to get back out there, and continue to do what I do best. Have a blessed day, drivers. Try not to let my story EVER become yours!! Thank you for your time
