Fuel ends up costing you much more then you see. The pump price looks good but you still have to pay your fuel taxes on that fuel.

I also think it is made up but it does bring out the point you cannot blame the company for your failure. You need to take care of your business first not sit and wait for the company to fix your problems.

Dave I think you are right on. This post can apply to any carrier right now and we need to be more pro active not reactive. We are business owners not company drivers.

What is Earthmate?

Wow Pelicn you are so right and we just ran into that. Drive here drive there and back up to that dock and they give you no details at how many different things you are going to see! I think the worst is usually going to a base as many of those guys I swear never go past the gate. The GPS is...

The PC Miler will tell you which side of the street the address is on and now many feet till address. I also like that when you need to make an interstate change and the exit is on the left hand side you are told a few miles in advance. It amazes me how many businesses we go to that do not...

Atlas Shrugged is awesome right now I am listening to her book "The Fountain Head" I have read it and now am listening to it. It is as long as Atlas Shrugged. Both very good books.

You are right Laredo is sounding pretty good and we are sitting in Alabama but we sure do not want to go norht right now.

What I liked was he was saying how he feels not how we should feel.

We are running the PC Miler GPS next to a Lowrance GPS and there are a few problems. The Lowrance has been over two years since an update and the Lowrance can still find more addresses then the PC Miler. We have also noticed the PC Miler calling roads no HazMat and they are clearing marked for...

At most companies you do not have to put the company logo all over your van. You can go with the small door signs. This though can lower the percent you will get for your percentage of the load pay. You are responsible for taking the signs off and often will not receive your escrow money...

I believe we try very hard to stay south! Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure why it would concern you how far you are located from the company? Very often you go the company headquarters for orientation and it can be a year or more before you would need to go back. Communication is done through the mail, fax, QUALCOMM, direct deposit and phone. Not sure what...

I have thought often that the truck stops are very lenient and in some instances put all of our lives in danger. We were at a TA the other night and one of the lanes to get out of the back area of the lot was blocked by parked trucks. Cleary marked with arrows on which direction to drive...

I also thought his talk was very intersting and he is fun to listen to.
