New Features!
The TSReport, found in the Careers section is the place to report your experiences with your current or previous companies for others to see before making a new career choice.


Your own TruckersSpace web site now sports a map feature where you can pinpoint your location in the country. We'll be adding scroll and zoom functions so you can find other truckers from nationwide down to an intersection. Find someone closeby for a a quick meal and some jawin' or to chat online with.

I spend a lot of time messing around in the back yard. You can see it by Clicking Here

I've also uploaded a bunch of pictures of it into my TruckersSpace Gallery (on this page), to test the upload.

Hey! I'm not a trucker, I'm the resident "techie" for TruckersSpace.com. My own home page (here) is where I can do testing for the site, so you might see some strange stuff happen here once in a while as we develop new and exciting applicatioins for the site.

I do invite you to join us! Make yourself at home, create your own website on TruckersSpace.com, chat, post your bio, and blogs, upload some photos and/or video and do some shopping. Make this your place, the Truckers Space.

And if you have some ideas on how to improve the site, let me know! We'll do the best we can to make this YOUR place on the web.

I'm the system designer/developer of this system. I've had my share of technology experience; see My Bio for more info if you are really interested.

11/06/2006 1:11 AM The First Blog Entry... Well, I get to put the first blog entry into the system... so I need to talk about something on my mind. How about this. When I was 12, I used to run to the store to get a gallon of milk. It cost 79 cents. Today I pay almost 4 times that much. But that year my dad bought a brand new Chevy Impala, and griped because it cost $2000. Now today, a brand new Chevy like that would be about 15 times a much. Now we talk about inflation, but inflation isn't equal. Does anyone that was driving in 1962 make 15 times as much money now as they did then? Probably not. But they DO probably make more than 4 times as much. So in the process, somewhere the farmer is losing out... in fact, many people at the real beginning of the product chain have lost out. These are the people that don't get the high visibility, and truckers are part of that class. We see trucks on the road everyday; they are just there. But seldom do we attribute the importance to them that they deserve. And the trucks don't move without drivers. Without truckers, most people wouldn't be able to drive their cars, buy their food, their clothes or anything else. If the trucks stop rolling, the economy, and much of what society needs to survives stops. If the CEO that makes mucho millions every year doesn't show up for work for a few weeks, his company(s) keep going. But if the country's truckers don't show up for work for a few weeks, the nation would come to a standstill, and people may even die. Sure, truckers will never make millions, and they know that. But maybe if we could just give 'em a smile and a wave once in a while,.. and maybe try to understand that while we complain about what the cost of fuel is doing to us in getting to work and the kids to soccer, its having a much more severe impact on that trucker. Just my thoughts to test the first blog... Comment   [View all blog entries]
