There are some ideas in the Women's Forum on this growing issue.... It is really a battle as food, sugar, and caffein is used to keep us awake and moving when we get tired. Once this habit starts it is really hard to break. All the same ideas park far away as possible fro buildings, when...

When I first started learning to back a straight truck I drove Bob nuts. When ever I pulled into a truck stop I headed for the back row and picked different parking spots and I backing into them from different angles and different directions. I did this over and over till I felt comfortable...

It looks like you had a pretty good crowd for your first event! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Gotta Go I hope you have pictures you will post on here! Sounds like fun was had by all.

Mortal Sin? Maybe you are talking about a division in FedEx Custom Critical and not the whole company? We are often several hours early to pickup or to deliver and have had no problems. I can only speak for how we handle a departure call when we leave a shipper. The load is secure and...

That surprised me that most do not have the 15 minute window to get rolling. We do not call in for our departure call until we have the freight secure and we are ready to roll. We still get the fifteen minute window as often we still have to go through security to get back on the road or we...

Thanks Chefdennis I hope others will get involved and find out for themselves how much fun it really is. I look forward to receiving the emails from the kids and even Bob who was very reluctant to do this is now totally on board and also cannot wait to receive the letters.

Don't most companies allow fifteen minutes?

EXACTLY!! communicate communicate communicate When the weather gets bad and you need to pull over send a message or call and let dispatch know what is happening. Safety always comes first. No one wants their freight damaged and you do not want your means of making a living damaged.

After several years of considering Trucker Buddy and backing away before signing up we finally bit the bullet. We signed up last year and this summer we were assigned a class near our house. We introduced ourselves via email to the teacher and she sent back a little about her and the class...

When we were with USX we picked up a load of copper wire near Globe and we were grossed out going east and went through the Salt River Canyon and it has to have been one of the worst memories I have of trucking. I took plenty of pictures and it was beautiful but it is not a place for a...

I hope you guys have a great turnout which I am sure you will. Great job Gotta Go and all of your helpers and supporters!

Do you know of any carrier that has a policy allowing guns in a truck? Especially the carriers who have freight in Canada?

That is really cool. Nice job...

Thanks you guys! It was a different type of birthday as we are at home! That has not happened often in the past eleven years.

I have not seen the oven ready lasagna noodles thanks for sharing as I will be looking for them!

I do not know many surface trucks who average $1.80 a mile and I do not know of many White Gloves trucks interested in the Flat Rate programs.

You are not with FedEx which is why you did not pickup on this. Knowing your costs is a given as a Owner Operator

While you might make a little more per mile at another company or on a different program there is something else you need to consider. How many miles will you get each week with another company or in another program? It is great if you can make $2.00 a mile at a different company and then...

Great Job Gotta Go and Petro! TA/Petro just keep stepping up to the place...
