I was wondering if anyone had Pat and Don's cookbook? They are an awesome couple and are involved in. They are also going to help to sponsor the Walk at MATS and will be giving away a few cookbooks and coupons.

Well I have one GPS leading me and one GPS set to follow me! You are right though we do not blindly follow our GPS and so we do still get lost! But at least now we know how lost we really are as we see the mileage increase on how to get back to the customer.

We were in meetings all week and last night we had our first load with the new QC. The install took about two hours as everything has to be replaced. The dome is the same size but the black box is much smaller. The actual QC is about 1/3 of the size as our old QC and I really like that part...

petie1957 I would suggest that you read back through the forums about vans and their income. Have you called any of the companies and talked to recruiters to see if any van owners are looking for a driver?

We will be getting the new unit today and for us we welcome the change. We were one of the ones that tested the Driver Tech system which is very similar to this new QC. There are several things that we are looking forward to. One is the the ability to send and receive messages on the unit...

How do you suggest the Hall of Fame be done? What are the requirements for picking who gets into the Hall? Do they receive a diploma a plaque or... Who pays for the award? Is there just a forum for who has been inducted into the hall of fame and a little bio on them? Do we vote on who...

With CSA looming on the horizon that warned could cost you big time before it is said and done with. Right now any warning or ticket that is issued goes against you and will be grandfathered in to the new system at double the points. A warning in a few ways is worse then getting a ticket. A...

Congrats! I really enjoy the coffee at Pilot

Hey that is interesting news. I have always thought the TA in Laredo had pretty good service and now maybe the food will be better also.

I have taken classes through Grantham University. As a member of OOIDA you were offered a discount on the classes. There were many advantages to taking the classes online as you could do your school work at your convenience. I was taking business courses and enjoyed each one of them. The...

Send an email to your CC or CR discussing how much time you spent trying to do a departure call. There is no reason that I know of that the system cannot be tweaked and standard departure calls could be automated on the C-Link instead of using our phones. I see no difference in using the...

One of the best things you can do for yourself is get to know your company from the inside out. When in orientation get names and extension numbers to ask questions of at a later date. Talk to other drivers for the company you are leased to including the ones that are happy and the ones that...

Since we are offered loads on a percentage bases we see many pay per mile offers. This is where knowing what we need per mile and also what we need per day to run comes in very handy. A dispatcher does not look at what pay we are getting they look at who can make the pickup on time and they get...

I finally went to unlimited minutes on my AT&T phone and solved the problem of to many conference calls. I enjoy the calls as I can listen in on the headset of the phone. A podcast to back up the conference call would be nice. I like just being able to listen and not have to go get the podcast.
