It's amazing how many truckers can't drive in the snow, or don't know enough to say the heck with it and take a break and let the roads/weather clear up.

I saw prolly 10-20 rigs stuck the other day, not to mention the nearly 70ish cars i saw in ditches and stopped. And that was middle illinois :doh:

Last Monday we had a decent storm, saw some trucks stuck and off the road. It wasn't the local trucks stuck it was the roadie's...

Weird, with how many drivers we have on here you think something would catch.

I was really hoping this would get more attention then it is. Seemed to be fairly busy at the other place, until we all came here.

Just like everywhere else...trucks get overlooked and ignored. Treated with diadain, whatever you wanna call it.
On another note....i've been part of the ltl local crowd for awhile now, and I can say I wouldn't ever go back OTR. Get paid for everything you do, paid vacation, don't get hassled by DOT, in fact, I got a level 1 Thursday night, and have not ever had such a positive, well treated experience with DOT since I have been in trucking. I run linehaul nightly, home every morning..kick back, set the cruise and just ride, no stress, although hooking and breaking down doubles gets monotanous, I wouldn't trade it.

I can say I agree with this statement, I hauled oversize/specialized OTR years back. Money was fair, but I hated the OTR lifestyle. I hardly leave my state anymore, and I can still be gone away from home for a few nights at a time.
Glad you found something you like doing and can make a little money at. What are fuel prices down your way right now? We're at $4.099 most places near me, however I did see $4.439 in Portland, Me the other night when I was down there moving loaders and hauling snow.

$3.69-$3.89 in most places around here. I go to Dallas every night, and surprisingly, it has been cheaper there. I believe last time I noticed, it was $3.4x a gallon there. We fuel at our hubs, so fuel price sort of gets over looked sometimes.

I buy in bulk, and have it delivered to my tanks at my shop, last delivery was $3.819, get a little break, but not as much as I wish I got.

Drive this truck daily. Haul anything from equipment, pallets, to boulders/slabs of stone.
Nothing compares to driving the cabover though... That thing makes a man enjoy driving a conventional!

Yeah, I've never been a fan of cab overs. I guess they still have there place, but you don't see em much anymore. Isn't freightliner the only one that still makes them? I don't think there available here in the U.S. unless you order them. I could be wrong though.
