We deliver a load in the morning in West Virginia then will be on our way to the truck show! Looking forward to it. We plan on parking in the Papa John's parking lot again with a whole bunch of other expediters!!

routejumper great post! Had to laugh out loud reading it and your predicament! Glad the fingers are not broke!

A good idea to practice if you are going to have a pet in your truck is to clean up after the pet. Keep baggies or if needed plastic bags near the passernger seat so they are easy to get to when taking your dog for a walk. Goes a lot for the image of a pet owner when they will clean up after...

Use the search function and look up GPS. You can spend several hours reading on what people like and dislike about any unit that is made at this time. There is really no good truck route GPS out here even though some have claimed to be once they are put to the test they fall apart fast.

We have had our AirTabs for over three years on a M2 Freightliner straight truck. Did not notice much change in fuel mileage but sure like the stability of the truck. They are inexpensive enough even if you are a driver and your owner would not mind I would put them on any truck I drove for...

Steve we used to live near Wolf Creek Pass and in the winter I cannot imagine running that stretch of road. There are several awesome ski places on that road. You do know they finally made the road wider? For awhile you had to do the darn thing on dirt roads. We had a friend who hauled a...

Do you get the weekly newsletter? If you do not send me a PM and I will send you the address of who you need to contact to start receiving this. Very handly thing to get.

You know Dale Vans were not in the discussion so the only way to know would be to call in. I have seen this working both ways in the past month. A contractor signed up on a few broker sites and found their own load and FCC secured the load for them. Once FCC secured the load the O/O did...

We have some friends that drive an E Unit and have used this lately. It is not just for home time it is also to help get you out of a less then desirable area instead of just dead heading. This team delivered in Salt Lake City and their layover was Omaha. Right after they received their...

Each carrier has their way of doing business which is why each carrier is not for each person. Every carrier has warts which is why the more research you do before you sign on with a carrier will pay off in the end hopefully without having to jump carriers. You can never learn all the warts...

Awesome just awesome! When our daughter went through the field medical training it scared me to death. This just goes to show how important that training really is. He did a really great job!!

We can be offered a load that pay's 2.05 all miles and the very next offer can only pay .87 all miles. That is part of the fun of the percentage pay and also the heartbreak of percentage pay. We are seeing less and less of the above 2.00 all miles pay as an Express Truck. If we arrive at...

This week our fsc is .089 for our size and type truck. We do know what the customer pays for FSC or if they even pay a FSC at this point.

Tell me about it! They are starting to drive me nuts and they are valid posts. For some reason there just seems to be a rash of people wanting to post the same problem in many threads!

FedEx does their FSC different as we get paid on all miles not just loaded miles.

Our carrier takes their percentage off the bottom line. As I see our carrier advertises and solicits this business. They have to keep up with our records on what size lift gate do we have, what size pallet jack do we have, how pads and how many straps and pads. So our carrier is out...

It is very very frustrating when over and over again you have to go to a shop! All I can is living with Bob and things do not get fixed right is very stressful! There are many things he cannot fix due to having to clear codes on the truck or reading the codes. If you just mention having to...

I am probably naive but what is a lug-a-loo? We use a Sprint internet card and a sprint phone. You need nationwide coverage. We have found for us it works best and keep our phone bills lower to have a Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T phone. We have the minimum minutes on all three phones and we...

Look at most peoples faces watching TV and they look zoned. That can be in a truck stop or in a living room. We have also seen many groups in the TV sharing a victory over some sports event or when 911 happened many people leaning on each other watching that. How many at home had such a big...

Nadal you got me on that one to!! As far as I am concerned getting up and going to a job everyday was hard. All anyone could think about was 5:00 or when will the weekend be here.... Now who cares when the weekend gets here and who cares when 5:00 gets here. I know this gets old but it is...
