That is interesting as we have not had this problem. Two mistakes sounds really odd and could be a million reasons. Did you send in those runs at the same TripPak box?

I know we are one of the people DaveKC refers to as a FedEx Custom Critical Cheerleader and I still support our company. Just as DaveKC is a cheerleader for his company as well as OVM is for his company. Our company is still providing us with enough loads to make a good living and we like...

I have found it is just easier to skip over what the x06col is saying as I do not feel like taking the time to figure his cryptic style. Cheri is right if you do not like the way a poster writes just skip that post and move on. There are some really really good opinions posted on EO. Leo has...

The things to ask your parents would be are they in a position in their lives where they can handle the ups and downs of expediting? Getting out of a factory and being out here for your mom sounds like a reprieve from a prison sentence. Your question is very hard to reply to as it...

We have installed the Slush Busters on our daughter’s cars and they both think they are ugly but they like being able to see. At the first sign of Spring Bob peels them off of the truck as they drive him nuts when cleaning the windshield. He though also is the first to put them on and neither...

We have the PC Miler 430 and bought it for the truck HazMat routes. They have many of the interstates in the country marked wrong and many of the roads marked wrong. It is useless to us as a HazMat router and we have found that it finds very few address. We tried to return the Miler and ALK...

India that is true you need to put them on a warm windshield or they will not adhere well. They are awesome when you get into an ice storm. Good Picture!

Hey good luck!! Talk to FCC they just started a great new group plan with tons of choices on insurance. Life and health.

Steve is right a un authorized passenger in the truck is not a good thing. It seems as if every time we pull into a truck stop someone is asking for a ride. If they do not get you in the truck stop they are standing on the ramps with a sign asking for a ride. I know when I rode with Bob we...

When you pull into a scale and are told to go around back and park you have so much time to update your log book before you go into the scale house. The officer gave India a chance to either update her log book or get back into the sleeper where she should have been going through a scale house...

Well you are in the positive and you bought a few things that you will only buy once but not much left over to pay bills. There is a lot to learn when you first start and that also takes a toll on the money situation. Now that you have your feet wet only one way to go and that is up!!! We...

Your company does care as it costs a fortune to train new people. They might not care in the way you think but new trucks and new paperwork day in and day out is a large cost to a carrier. If you check the fleet size of your company, then check how many people go through orientation a week you...

OVM I am so sorry to hear of this. Please accept our condolences and extend them to your family.

We are in a dry box at FCC but most of our friends have a reefer most are WG and a couple are just in Express. I am constantly amazed at the load offers they receive for the reefer. I can only speak for FCC but to have a reefer over here is one of the best ways to go. Compare settlement...

Most of the companies when you ask about fleet owners will give you plenty of names to contact. Try to talk to other drivers for this fleet owner. Most though you are going to find do not want a solo driver they are looking for teams. Keep trying the different companies though as some of the...

Talk to your CC and have them put you in contact with several T/T reefer trucjs that have a lift gate. Steve pulls a company trailer. I have heard it different ways on if the lift gate is worth it or not. I would really suggest talking to more than one person as I have heard a lot of mixed...

You just spent all the money to go to T/T school I would put it to good use and not lose that experience. If your wife can stay at home for bit while you train and get experience most often the husband can train the wife then. You can make good money in Expediting also driving a T/T and...

Ya Jeanie I had to admit I was laughing over your shy ways! When we used to have terminals there was always tables to trade and leave books. You know anyone going to MATS should plan on bringing books to trade. Since we have started using the IPOD and the E Reader I do not carry so many...

Well I am going out on a limb here but I was thinking since the first of the month would mean Jan 1st of 2009. That is what my thoughts are based on.

How many loads did you turn down for the month? We are a little better of then that but boy oh boy have we turned down some cheap loads this month. One load offered was a C rate and just the run pay was less then the .85 the vans are getting. You can imagine by the time dh was added to...
