I am reading about the doom and gloom and I think wow everything is really really really bad.... We came through one of the worst economic times to happen in the trucking industry and we are still surviving. I step back away from the doom and gloom and look at my spreadsheets, our...

Exactly we cannot stop change and so we have to change with the changes

I keep hearing the phrase we need to go back to the way it was... I keep thinking back through my life and wondering when was everything perfect? When was there not a time that I wanted to improve something. I would like to know if anyone knows when was the perfect time in Expediting?

The holes in wheels are called Hand Holes or Access Holes to get to the Valve stem and another reason is to make the wheel lighter. The holes having nothing to do with cooling. Black actually dissipates heat better than white. Not many people like black wheels with a black tire. A...

Yes that load more than meet my expenses and puts money in my pocket. That is a good run not a great run.

You are right Phil I am wrong we look at the Qualcomm the same way. We see the same screen no difference. Thank you for pointing this out.

Phil have you ever thought that maybe we as a dry box look at loads different than you do as a T-Val unit?

T-Val appears to have a small base of customers. T-Val is also a lot smaller percentage of the trucks in the fleet. Since it is getting so bad in T-Val for you have you considered running as a dry box? As a dry box we see new customers all of the time who are not discounted customers. The...

Thank you for your reply as you gave me the information I was looking for and you added a great comparison. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this info.

Jim I did ask how many gallons they got per mile and it not good... Between the fuel they use as well as the tires they burn off of those cars it is hard to imagine.

The loads that we accept are enough to pay what we need them to we still get loads that are great and we get loads that are just mediocre. We are still just as excited when the QUALCOMM dings as we were six years. The competition is different than it was five years ago are even one year ago...

Does anyone on the forums have any experience using NASTIC fuel cards?

We are still in shock and awe over this truck. Not only driving the truck but sitting at the table in the sleeper as I am now typing away. It took longer to get the truck on the road than anticipated. The things we wanted done took longer than we thought they would. Taking the plunge to...

All of the ones that pay really well...

Greg are you running wide based singles now? Thanks for providing the link I forgot... multiply that .5 out on the fuel savings and yes it is a big deal. OVM smoothing out the sides of the box so as not to create any vacuums is where we are heading so we can continue to improve our fuel...

Real Wheels has been experimenting with wheel covers for the wide base rims and they have finally perfected the mounting brackets. The wheel covers will not rub on aluminum wheels which was a big concern. We had clear Aero Wheel covers on our wheels during the MATS truck show, but we took...

The picture you posted is of my favorite old truck that attends the Expo. I believe that truck has attended the Expo each year they have been in attendance. I always look forward to wandering through the old trucks and thinking about how much they have changed. Last year there were some...

I always forget about the BASS Pro Shop until we are leaving and I see that from the interstate. We will be down to the TA East this afternoon and we will have to go check all of that out. Thanks for the reminder

Best money I ever spent was buying the rice cooker as it cooks and warms the water to wash utensils... The new truck has a convection oven and I still pull out my trusty Rice Cooker I have been using for 5 years and it still keeps on going and going and going. I took my crock pot out of the...

Moot we backed out of the championships for this year. Several things came into consideration and one was how long it took us to get this new truck on the road and producing an income. Skill is skill whether it is done fast are slow it is exhilarating to do it right. I admit I am a speed...
