    Handicapped

    There was a flat bed truck at the Expo last year in a special truck built just for him. He did not have any use of his lower body and had an interesting wheel chair ramp that he used. He would have to have people load and unload the trailer and it sounded as if he was doing ok.

    There is some more information about the meeting on the home page! This will you be your lucky day FedEx Custom Critical Field Safety Liaison will be in attendance. He always livens the room up. I hope you and anyone else that attends the meeting gets to visit with him and the other vendors...

    Worthless <75

    I see no difference in responding to a <75 offer. You are given ten minutes to respond to the load opp or before the load offer. If you cannot respond on the C-Link you can both call in and give the dispatcher the load number and say yes or no or you can respond via the C-Link. The ten minutes...

    Gettin Paid

    You know that is a good point and one we always follow. Make sure you take all the staples out of your papers. We are very careful about how we put our paperwork in the Trip Pak. Any small items need to be put into the front or back of the envelope and not mixed in with the papers.

    Air Tabs

    Yes we have them across the roof. We even put the extras on the bottom of the lift gate. They are a really good inexpensive product. If you want to see some wild AirTabs Gotta Go needs to post a picture of her truck.

    Glass slippers

    I have thought about your post and how often we have worn our steel toed boots. I believe in the whole time we have been with FedEx Custom Critical Bob has worn his twice and my Redwings are just the same as when I put them in the side box. We would not run without our steel toed shoes as the...

    Midwest Trucking Show

    Well there will be a few expediters at the show but we will not be able to gather at our normal spot Lawrence’s booth! I know of several who are still planning on attending and parking over in the Papa John’s parking lot. After the show closes it is easier to find everyone hanging out. I...

    Your Thoughts About Going to California?

    The sad part of this is many other states are looking at the new CARB laws and are considering following the leader. If the money is right we will also continue to go into California and our next truck will be specing for this.

    What Does Your Carrier OWE You?

    I see this as a two way street. When our carrier takes a cheap load for reasons unknown to us we still refuse the load. We do not lose any sleep over wondering how they got that load covered. I do not care when I am the tenth truck to turn down a load and the dispatcher is getting desperate to...

    Maybe Things Aren't So Bad After All

    Looks like a lot of fun! It is always nice when you can get a bunch of drivers from different carriers together. Funny how we all have the same stories.

    Free Showers Two for one Buffet

    You know I wondered if the truckers lounge had a laundry room. Sure glad we picked the best buffet to start with as it really was good. We decided to let someone else lose enough at the slot machines to cover the cost of our showers and buffet. We will be stopping again though.

    Air Tabs

    We have been running with the other truck in the picture. Both of us had been across Donner Pass on wet nasty roads. We had not run in any snow this is just road dirt and I thought it was interesting. We have Air Tabs the other truck does not:

    Free Showers Two for one Buffet

    There was parking in that lot for at least 100 trucks so plenty of room.

    Free Showers Two for one Buffet

    I thought that was funny also! We were more interested in the showers so really have no idea if you could go in and ask for the coupon.

    Free Showers Two for one Buffet

    We stopped in Wendover NV and found a heck of a deal. They have free showers at The Truckers Lounge which is in the over flow parking lot for the Peppermill Casino. You just get off I80 and go south and right beside the interstate is the over flow parking lot. You can see it very easy if you...

    What Does Your Carrier OWE You?

    Good Post! Wave of Pom Pom!!! We signed on with a carrier we felt would give us the most opportunity to make money. We keep our end of the bargain with a good attitude, clean truck, on time pickup and delivery, and we keep the customers freight safe. So far we are holding up our side of...
