    Husband and Wife teams, how do you do it?

    I also had this exact concern after being married 20 years with separate jobs. I knew we always got along very well and that we enjoyed each others company and hanging out together. The 24/7 being together leaves no room for any secrets what happens happens. You learn you have to argue...

    Why didn't I get that load?

    Here are some of the reasons gathered over time that a few of us have worked on when for when this question is asked: Load requires special training/qualifications such as A&E, Nuclear, T-Val, IAC or SEC. Load is HAZMAT category that is not allowed on a cargo van. Load requires a...

    What would you do??

    I must give off one heck of a do not mess with me attitude as I have never had a guy ask me such a goofy question in the over ten years I have been out here. When I go in for my shower I am either dressed in my slacks with a button down shirt or I am in my workout clothes which consists of a...

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    This is a great post and I started thinking after reading a few more responses. When you are looking at a new company or you are just starting to look, act and look like a professional. The Billy Big Rigger look does not gain you respect from any company. Dress appropriately as a business...

    We do better in Portland than we do in Seattle. Salt Lake City is great for Military freight. We have had hit and miss luck in Las Vegas but part of that was due to being checked into Ontario and taking the hit on to far out to be picked for a load. We have delivered in Albuquerque and dead...

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Greg you are so right on the booth workers! When we started looking into this business and went to our first Expo in Detroit we had two carriers at the top of our list. One carrier bent over backwards to answer our questions and one carrier acted as if we were putting them out. We talked with...

    You sure hit the nail on the head there! I am also addicted to this computer and while Bob is driving I am on the computer. Now though when we are stopped instead of sitting in front of the computer I get out and walk. If we are waiting to be dispatched or the time is good to get a load I...

    One of the problems with getting in shape out here on the road for us is the lack of a structured work day and the time to plan an exercise time. We also have not figured out how to make a gym package work for us. I have been involved with both of these guys on learning to stay healthy on...

    Greg I have found that to take even 15 minutes out of my day and walk gives me a chance to re group and re focus which then lets me get into a better state. I do not know how anyone could be a carriers pet and get team loads or solo loads that would allow them to exercise. We can only take...

    We let our health deteriorate some before we finally decided to get on the ball. We decided last year it was time to take control of our health and stop making excuses. I have started expanding my network of drivers to include people who have lost a lot of weight and also drivers who spend as...

    Grill sliced bell peppers olive oil tin foil Make a tin foil "pan" add sliced bell pepper to pan and drizzle with olive oil cook on grill until roasted The grill really gives the bell peppers an awesome flavor. This is also a very colorful side dish if you use one of each color of bell peppers.

    someone is slackin off

    When the buttermilk pie came out I had my finger on 911! We were lucky though almost everyone tried a piece and they all survived. MATS was awesome and the crowds were huge. I am sure I walked 100 miles a day and still did not see or talk to everyone I wanted to. The health walk was a great...
