    Express Center question

    Every company out here has their own way of doing things. The quicker you can figure it out a new companies system the better offers you are available for. Those goofy quirks are what will get you and you have found one of them.

    Express Center question

    That could have done it while moving or someone just put in the wrong location. It happens when Express Centers are close together sometimes. Frustrating for sure but easily fixed if you call in or send a message.

    Express Center question

    Did you pick Cleveland as your layover choice? Did you check into the Express Center while going down the road? The computer can sent you up a wall sometimes and this is another one of those. As soon as you check in do a macro 9 to see if you are locked or that you are in the express...

    new to the Fed

    After 4 years I still think the staff at FCC is very professional. There are always exceptions to this. We have found that we when we treat the dispatcher as a professional we are in turn treated the same way.

    Managing the EO Open Forum Addiction

    You know many of us at times get too involved with EO and need to step back and get a grip. Some do it with an announcement and others just back away for a bit.

    Things we thought everyone knew

    Good idea XTeam we solved that problem by putting in a wood floor. We have Molly and the carpet always looked horrible with pet hair now the floor is very easy to clean. I noticed in many of the sleepers on display at MATS they either had hard wood floors or linoleum floors. Do you think...

    Join in!!

    I was very surprised to find that the AP (Appalachian Trail) is just north of the Flying J in Carlyle PA. You can step out to the road and see the overpass and there is a small trail up to the main trail. I thought that was pretty awesome!

    Things we thought everyone knew

    Wow gotta go that was sure one of those slap your head moments. Another one of those slap your head moments was when I found out you can freeze leftover French toast and then just pop in the toaster to warm them. Add butter and syrup and you have French toast in the truck without the hassle...

    Here are a few more pictures! Still never was a huge crowd and I wonder what the attendance will end up at. For us this had to be one of the best shows every as we were able to accomplish so much, spend time with friends and not be just worn out by fighting the crowds. The weather even turned...

    Do You Track Every Penny?

    I keep very good records for our business expenses. When we get a receipt I mark on the receipt what category the figures have been entered in and also the amount of the receipt incase of fading. I file all of our receipts by category. I use Quicken and when we have an expense that does not...

    Bluetooth Headset

    We have several headsets and my favorite is the Blue Parrot and I have two of these. We have had these a couple of years and you can now order new batteries for them from Blue Parrot and not have to replace the headset. They work very well in the truck. Bob also uses a Cobra head set but I do...

    MATS Snapshots

    The show has been pretty good so far for us. The crowds were very thin on Thursday so we were able to spend a little more quality time with the vendors we needed to talk to. On Friday the crowds picked up to what I considered a Thursday crowd for last year. Not as many trucks in the parking lots...

    Wow!

    We are all talking about two different contractor services here. One is the Homerun Program and one is the Backhaul Program. The Homerun Program has not changed, you call into a dispatcher or CC after you have been out two weeks and they will try and get you home. The backhaul program is a...
