Hey good luck!! Talk to FCC they just started a great new group plan with tons of choices on insurance. Life and health.

Steve is right a un authorized passenger in the truck is not a good thing. It seems as if every time we pull into a truck stop someone is asking for a ride. If they do not get you in the truck stop they are standing on the ramps with a sign asking for a ride. I know when I rode with Bob we...

When you pull into a scale and are told to go around back and park you have so much time to update your log book before you go into the scale house. The officer gave India a chance to either update her log book or get back into the sleeper where she should have been going through a scale house...

Well you are in the positive and you bought a few things that you will only buy once but not much left over to pay bills. There is a lot to learn when you first start and that also takes a toll on the money situation. Now that you have your feet wet only one way to go and that is up!!! We...

Your company does care as it costs a fortune to train new people. They might not care in the way you think but new trucks and new paperwork day in and day out is a large cost to a carrier. If you check the fleet size of your company, then check how many people go through orientation a week you...

OVM I am so sorry to hear of this. Please accept our condolences and extend them to your family.

We are in a dry box at FCC but most of our friends have a reefer most are WG and a couple are just in Express. I am constantly amazed at the load offers they receive for the reefer. I can only speak for FCC but to have a reefer over here is one of the best ways to go. Compare settlement...

Most of the companies when you ask about fleet owners will give you plenty of names to contact. Try to talk to other drivers for this fleet owner. Most though you are going to find do not want a solo driver they are looking for teams. Keep trying the different companies though as some of the...

Talk to your CC and have them put you in contact with several T/T reefer trucjs that have a lift gate. Steve pulls a company trailer. I have heard it different ways on if the lift gate is worth it or not. I would really suggest talking to more than one person as I have heard a lot of mixed...

You just spent all the money to go to T/T school I would put it to good use and not lose that experience. If your wife can stay at home for bit while you train and get experience most often the husband can train the wife then. You can make good money in Expediting also driving a T/T and...

Ya Jeanie I had to admit I was laughing over your shy ways! When we used to have terminals there was always tables to trade and leave books. You know anyone going to MATS should plan on bringing books to trade. Since we have started using the IPOD and the E Reader I do not carry so many...

Well I am going out on a limb here but I was thinking since the first of the month would mean Jan 1st of 2009. That is what my thoughts are based on.

How many loads did you turn down for the month? We are a little better of then that but boy oh boy have we turned down some cheap loads this month. One load offered was a C rate and just the run pay was less then the .85 the vans are getting. You can imagine by the time dh was added to...

Our hinges are welded so the only way to remove our doors is to cut them off and a little bit of tape is not going to do anything if someone wants to cut our doors off. I think the stainless is a great idea and if more shippers go to this policy it sounds like a good solution. The situation...

Oh no we were loaded and ready to do paperwork before we found this little item out. We then were unloaded. We were to worried about them defacing the truck and not being able to clean it off. With all of these suggestions though I think we might have been all right. What a surprise...

aileron, How is going for you? I have talked to few vans and they say they are running about the same as before. I imagine it will take a bit for the new rate to take affect with the customers. I have not heard of any one running a less then 75 have you been offered one?

Good to know thanks you guys. I have spray and wash and I have goo gone just do not want to ruin paint on truck. It is kind of silly to put security tape on a truck that has it hinge bolts welded anyway. They want to use security tape and also a seal. Lots of over kill. But next time we...

We need to know if anyone has an idea on how to remove security tape residue? We just refused a load due to this tape and not wanting to deface the box on the truck. If we can find a safe way to remove this residue we will not have to go through this mess again. Any ideas?

There will be less to see in the parking lot this year as I imagine many will move inside. This has to be a huge blow to MATS. I wonder how this as well as the slow economy will affect the show attendance. The bands never interested us as the wrong kind of music.

FedEx Custom Critical does not have a maintenance plan or anyway you can set back money for repairs or any other business expenses. FCC is not a bank or a savings account. They have your escrow account and that is to cover freight damage or if you or they terminate your lease to cover anything...
