Watch Out!

What to watch out for at Truck Stops!

Expensive Food
Lot Lizzards- Hookers
Dirty Restrooms depends on which Truck Stop

The lot lizzards can be fun to mess with but not all the time! hehehe

Crappy Truck Stops

It seems like the Pilot in Birmingham, AL has been nominated for the crappiest truck stop. I read where it took one guy nearly a half hour to get to the pumps because of all the riff raff approaching him to sell gold chains and such. If you know of a crappy truck stop ( crappiest ) holler at us so we can beware.

Trucking Regulations

Just a heads up... seems like we have an ongoing change of regulations. You have to keep up with new regulations or you'll find yourself fined or even worse... FIRED!

I was reading about some new regulations that may make it a little harder to deal with logs. I know the logs are a pain in the butt already but when you think about it, it protects all of us and in the long run is worth the time and trouble we put into them. I would suggest double checking with your company for any new updates to regulations or internal rules.

Well... looks like another boring day

A bit of news

WJBC News, IL A woman twice convicted of employee theft in Logan and Sangamon counties is now charged with embezzling in McLean County. Heather Ferguson, 31, is accused of taking a little more than $41,000 from Lori and Michael Dekeyser who own Express -- A Trucking Company. Ferguson was an accounting clerk and is accused of using the firm's account with another transport service to make checks payable to herself.The stealing took place for a year, dating back to September while Ferguson was on probation in Sangamon County for stealing from a moving company. She was also convicted in Logan County of stealing from a daycare center that employed her.

It seems some ppl are born with it and some just ain't... hehehe
but hey, these ppl eventually are good entertainment for the rest of us.

What is this crap

I don't understand it... why do some trucking schools offer paid training and others are so expensive. I have been researching and researching and don't understand the benefits of going to a school where you have to pay... it seems like going somewhere and making a commitment to a job for some time would be the better way to go.

Any Comments?

Here's a funny post

I came across this post on a message board... Pretty Funny!

has anyone heard about a load that was stolen out of WD-40 2 weeks ago, there is a driver using fake information, he gets the loads out of postings and uses fake mc #, insurance, and company name, the police has video of the last load he stole from security cameras from WD-40 loading dock and they are looking for the freight it was about $45,000 full truck load maybe about $20 street price, if anyone hears or see's anyone selling WD-40 products at truck stops please post in this blog so we can catch this thief and brokers can trust owner operators again.

Looks like somebody is racking up on a lot of good stuff
