I thought the same thing.... I went down the list clicking all of them before I realized that was not an option. Then I had to stop and think of what reply I wanted.

How often does a CEO come out and ask "What are we doing wrong?" and he is serious. Yes they can read here but they cannot bounce ideas off of you to see what it is that will work for you. Remember that they are not truck drivers they sit behind desks without our feedback they do not know how...

What is the chief attraction of expedited trucking? Link to poll on Overdrive website

On the call will be Tom O'Brian CEO and President TA/Petro We have had several discussion with Tom O. and Tom L. and it amazes me how well they listen and how quickly them implement changes. This is a great chance for drivers who do not use Ta/Petro or who have left TA/Petro to give their...

If you would be willing to give your input to TA/Petro in a conference call, your participation is valued. The call is scheduled for 3:00 pm Eastern time on Thursday, October 20th. You will be given the opportunity to create change for you and your fellow drivers by giving your honest feedback.

It is very easy to listen in or participate on a conference call when driving. No different then listening to the radio. I am sure TA/Petro will read this thread and that they are forming questions for all of you on how they can solve the problem or to bounce ideas off of you to get your...

Jeanie I am hoping for the best also, that is one heck of a cat.

I am sure they will read this forum.... I have found that I get better results when I have a conversation with a person and can hear their point of view and they can hear mine. It is much easier to discuss solutions on a call then in a forum for me.

While attending GATS we talked with Pride and Polish people as well as show management about a business class. This class would be for the people who spec their truck for fuel mileage, innovations they have done to the truck, proof of fuel mileage, and knowledge of the industry. Several...

This is your opportunity to talk with TA/Petro management and get your voices heard... Send Tom a email and let them know how you feel. Over the past years we have found having these focus group conversations with TA/Petro they listen and they make changes. Great group of people and they want...

I am not a huge BBQ fan but after going to Corky's with India and Frank and having the dry rub ribs I might have changed my mind. Those ribs were awesome! I agree though it is time for Chef Dennis to give us some inspiration here!

Send QC messages stating that you are running on back roads, construction, traffic, weather or anything else that is influencing your delivery time. Send the messages on the QC as they are easier to find if you are dinged with a late delivery. If I remember right the computer is supposed to...

Phil I wish you would have left number 10 tip out: 10. When outfitting your truck with "dinnerware," go to Wendy's. Their plastic silverware is individually wrapped and more durable than most. Another reason why costs go up is people helping themselves to something that has not been paid for...

We used to do tandem hang-gliding in the flats of Kansas from the back of a pickup. It was a pretty interesting set-up that worked very well and while we could not stay aloft as long since we since 2000' was about as high as we could get we had a lot of fun. Amazing the up drafts that are...

WELCOME to the forums!

Check out the workshop as that will give you two a great place to ask questions and gain a lot of knowledge. My suggestion would be for you guys to drive for an owner and make sure you are compatible for days on end with each other in a small box.... It will be much easier on you to learn the...

Aug 2005 and I was a lurker for a little over a year... I still remember typing up my first post and being absolutely scared to death to hit send. It took me a week just to get the courage up to type the post and another week of worrying that it might be stupid, somebody might slam the post...

I talked to CIS and this is the reply I was given: Hi Linda, Thanks for allowing us to clarify the question of Haz Mat regarding the CIS/One Beacon Occupational Accident plan. First and foremost, our Program with One Beacon meets the requirements accepted by FedEx for its leased on...
