We need drivers for Trukz

I can't wait to get a new truck. This 51 mph stuff is driving me nuts.

Worth every mile... the fast trucks rock. I have much nicer trucks I'm working to buy.

Getting close to a truck that does 70. I now have to actually add MPH so I can now speed!!!

Just like real life, 4 mph over on every available road. No tickets so far. I need a new truck that goes faster!!!!!

I've never gotten a ticket so far and I often go 11 HOS and sometimes 12 HOS. Don't know how it's all worked out, but no fears so far.

And watch gas prices as you drive- a $1.85 price beats $2.80 with a 10% discount every time.

Short routes work for me because I work 11+ hours a day. Drive 11 HOS and go to work, then when I get home, finish a route and start a new one. None of that makes any sense, but it works for me.

You can go 5mph over and 11FP without getting tickets, but sometimes you'll fall asleep and crash at 11. Going to 6mph over or to 12 FP will get you tickets, though.

Gas prices are lowest in Atlanta, because that's our company HQ so it's 25% off there. (it comes out to $1.875, but you don't get the fatigue point penalty)

here's a thought, we could rig the stock. we could buy a hole bunch of terminals and then are stock would be low. then we could sell the terminals then make money when are stocks get high. unless the company looses money with the sale of the terminals.

anyways, we should buy a terminal or 2. are company has allot of extra money. what about the company items like Truck Purchase Discount, Fuel Purchase Discount, Item Purchase Discount. How much are these? Really we should get the truck pruchase discount, would be good for the new drivers.

I thought about doing the terminal scam in the begining of the company, but no, they don't sell for the same amount that you buy them for. Also, the next terminal will be $15,000, so it will only be about a 13% decrease in funds, so the stocks won't change as dramatically.

Also, the Company Items are a base price of $50,000, plus $200 for every active member (right now we have 61) so they're going to be $62,200.00, and are only good for 5 months, so I'm not sure if it's worth it right now... maybe the fuel one, but I don't want to spend that much on something right now, especially because it might make people stop buying the stocks.

I was thinking of getting a new terminal, and possibly selling the NYC one, so if anyone has any ideas where the new one should be, or wether or not we should sell the one in NYC.

ya, way too much. I thought it would be less, or perment.

Jacksonville, Monterrey, is the first few. I think the company should try to get all the terminal that we can it would help out the newer drivers.

For listening to katg as long as I have I think I should have more posts. Right now I only have 91. I need to put more input into the forums.

Quality over quantity I say.

Failing that, check out *'s New Avatar threads.

I've had HOS tickets at 11! It's still a gamble.

I use the NYC terminal a lot, but if most of the others aren't, then yeah, sell it off. I think it's silly to have terminals too close, though. So no to Jacksonville.

I would say St. Louis because of it's central location and beer supply.
