Double L

So who is who in the picture?

It's better than all the white we see from the big fleets.

Honestly I don't really know, I think they are gonna do away with the split speed limit. I heard in Ohio they are gonna raise the speed limit to 70 but keep trucks at 65, but I think that was just rumor there.

If you head our way this summer, watch your speed. IF YOU ARE DRIVING TO DECATUR, PLEASE WATCH YOUR SPEED LIMIT!!! See below: Subject: Illinois to start using Photo Radar in July ! Illinois will begin using photo radar in freeway work zones in July. One mile per hour over the speed limit and the machine will get you a nice $375.00 ticket in the mail. Beginning July 1st, the State of Illinois will begin using the speed cameras in areas designated as "Work Zones" on major freeways. Anyone caught by these devices will be mailed a $375.00 ticket for the FIRST offense. The SECOND offense will cost$1000.00 and comes with a 90-Day suspension. Drivers will also receive demerit points against their license, which allow insurance companies to raise Insurance rates. This is the harshest penalty structure ever set for a governmental unit involving PHOTO speed enforcement. The State already has two camera vans on line issuing tickets 24/7 in work zones with speed limits lowered to 45 MPH. Photos of both the Driver's face and License plate are taken. Pass this on!!!

A lawyer and a truck driver are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that truck driver are so dumb that he could put one over on them easily...so the lawyer asks the truck driver if he would like to play a fun game. The truck driver is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500." he says. This catches the truck driver's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the moon?" The truck driver doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the truck driver's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the truck driver and hands him $500. The truck driver pockets the $500. and goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the truck driver up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?" The truck driver reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5. and goes back to sleep. Don't mess with us tuck drivers!! Remember, out of each graduating class of lawyers, 50% graduated at the top and the other 50% at the bottom of the class.

part of our problem is too much news. i dont know if we should know everything the second it happens, Another good point, I don't watch the news anymore, it's all about Obama this, economy that. The same old bullcrap!

CNN-Communist News Network. The only news I watch is Fox, all the rest is left wing liberal nut jobs!

EXACTLY!!!!!

People are too busy worrying about others lives to care about what is going on to his country!

HOOVER, TRUMAN, AND IKE! What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common? (Deported illegals!) Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around.. Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal immigrants in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work... Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal's after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans. And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback'. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them! Now...if they could deport the illegal's back then - they could sure do it today? lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter OperationWetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself. Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes...12 million Illegal Immigrants are depending on you.

This is very very funny!

I am going to the a community college, gonna do all my classes online and whatever I get back from pell I'll use to get my CDL!

Mopar's are JUNK!

I learned them in elementary school! Then everything changed with the "no child left behind" crap! The work got way to easy and those who were ahead had to wait on everyone else or the ones who were doing mediocre work who were failing got passed by the teacher. Dumbing down America and with Barry Hussein in office it'll only get worse! Back then y'all had no child left behind act, y'alls problem was that y'all just didn't give a damn with the GTO's, Chevelle's, Trans Am's, weed, lsd, acid, and all that other good stuff of the 70's. Sorry I couldn't help myself with that one.

I've called several places and they want me to be either 21 or have experience. I found a grain company in Carlinville but I didn't have a CDL at that time. Maybe if I get my CDL by harvest I can haul grain and get my certificates at the same time since I can do those online. I just hope the economy hasn't hurt the grain hauling business any.

Well I learned a lot more than e=mc squared and i before e except after c. I learned how to do electronic calculator, filing, transcription, correspondence, memos, mailable letters, and all that wonderful business related stuff. At least I paid attention in school unlike some people I know! No I'm not referring to any of you!

Not sure how to take that comment but it'll be classified as a smart ass comment.

I will admit I'm hard headed and I got an idea of what I want as far as spec goes, I want at least 500 horses with a 13spd and 3.55 rears. I can live with a flat top or mid roof sleeper. I really don't need the room of a condo sleeper at all because I don't plan on carrying much just clothes, laptop, food and tools but the tools will go under the bed so that is no big deal along with other maintenance stuff. I gave this a lot of thought and have been for the past oh 4 years or so.

I agree I prefer real world experience over sitting in some classroom. I myself like a challenge and I know I can work for myself just fine, so it'll be great. I always wanted to be my own boss and I grew up around trucking all my life so why not combine the two and start my own one fleet operation, I did some office stuff (file log sheets and fuel receipts) I worked in shops washing trucks, did a few PM's on trucks, did some flatbed work, and a little bit of driving (If you count the yard). I had a little bit of experience with about every aspect of trucking except I didn't drive. I'm a very organized person and I keep track of EVERYTHING and I'm very anal about being organized and keeping track of stuff. I'm so organized that I file things by date, name of business, and location which makes figuring out my costs more accurate. Microsoft Office came free on this laptop and I also plan on using QuickBooks business software to keep track of my expenses.

I'm looking instead of getting a degree in management is get the certificates in management and entrepreneur which is 19 credits total instead of 66 credits for the degree. Sure the degree means more but I've already done 4 years worth of business classes including word, excel, resumes/portfolios, business law, correspondence, electronic calculator, filing, and transcription. Those skills are valuable and learned a lot from them which was actually college level work. The management certificate covers Human Relations in the Workplace, Principles of Management, Human Resource Management, Small Business Management, Marketing, and Ethics in the Workplace while the entrepreneur certificate covers Entrepreneur Basics, Entrepreneur: First Year, and Business Plan Basics. Now those are the skills I need and haven't learned yet. What can I say I may be crazy but I'm smart!

Hmmm good point there!

Amen brother amen!

That is the joys of living in near East St. Louis actually Illinois, is less deadhead as far as picking up a load to head out is concerned and flatbed freight is the main thing around here besides dry van. At least I have that to my advantage.

Hmmm oh hell I won't argue with ya driver!

Your a good man! I'm proud of ya, I thought I had a big heart but yours is much bigger than mine!
