We have not seen the article yet but what that Van driver did for Terry was above and beyond and he is a Hero! May all of us be that helpful to a fellow driver who has just had an accident in a strange town and is pretty much stranded with all of their "stuff". Don deserves a lot of...

Congrats also A Team! We also believe that Expediting is the greatest form of trucking! May we all be our here safe and sound another five years!

India, Will you let us know how and when the company resolves this issue? I have no doubt that the company will make it right as they do have a pretty good reputation. Bob was very careful about cleaning the box surface with rubbing alcohol before he applied our Air Tabs and many truck...

For those of you at FCC who do not have the TA Discount program fact sheet call into your CC or to Contractor Relations and have them email you or fax you a copy of the sheet.

Our fuel cost percentage per mile just keeps dropping! Not only are we doing well with our fuel mileage by slowing down we are now paying even less for fuel. When you take into consideration our FSC is figured on the national average of 4.50 a gallon this week and we are only paying around...

Moose you are right about paying the truck off early but in many cases if you look at the interest a first time buyer are paying it is better to pay the truck off and then invest. The other factor for us is risk tolerance which I have very little of when it comes to debt. We have a good friend...

Not having debt took a huge weight off of our shoulders and we look at each day differently. We had been debt free for many years before we bought this truck and the day we paid it off was like winning the lotery. Now instead of each month looking to see how much interest we have paid we look...

What we like about cutting the shades to fit the windows is you can open and close the doors and nothing falls. There is also no area on the windshield to let any heat through. We found that the easiest way to store ours was under the bed. Jan did a much better job though on her windows.

I have mentioned who you need to get in contact with your CC or if that does not have the results you want go to Contractor Relations.

You are 100% correct when a question is asked and I am not sure of my answer I get on the phone or I email and start asking questions. While I am asking questions I am writing the replys I recieve. You are the one asking the questions I am trying to be sure that my replys are correct.

Pelicn sounds like you had a great day but you must admit it is sure a lot more fun when you can do the girly girly thing with a friend!

You are right Jack-Berry Bob in a dress would be a something. Can you just see Bob in a dress and high heels with makeup? Now that would be a sight to behold!

One thing that we O/O's will all agree on is the none of us agrees with every policy or procedure put out by FCC. We each want more money, more miles, less deadhead, less downtime, fewer random drug tests, do you not think that FCC and every company out here does not know this? You say you'd...

Terry is a much better writer then I am or could ever even hope to be and he can really convey a message or thought where I usually just mess it up. The council membership I believe is around 12 members. We do not represent other members of the fleet we are only typical owner and operators of...

We were lucky enough to see how Jan cut and installed Layoutshooters blinds and were impressed enough to go out and buy a roll. Ours do not look nearly as good as Layuoutshooters but they still work and have a much better seal then the kind you buy at the store. We got so carried away we put...

McBride: Your request for information serves as a reminder that once again we should describe the workings of the Contractor Council to eliminate any confusion about what they do. First off, Bob and I are members of the council and we do not covet that roll, but we are honored to have been...

Anyway, I do love a nice manicure with semi long nails and a nice dinner at Salt Grass but the rest of the list doesn't do much for us. Lucky me. No lucky wife! I also feel lucky as Bob hates makeup and he does not much appreciate dresses he just says be who you are. Now how much of that I...

I do not that we and breath FedEx Custom Critical but this is how we make a very good living and we plan to continue to do so. The better we can understand the company we are contracted to the easier it is for to make educated decisions and that means also leaning to work within a system that...

There has been numerous posts lately knocking company stats but to us this is why they are beneficial. Truck Statistics are a bench mark to see how you are doing at a company and if used properly can tell you if you are at the right company or you need to move on. To us the way to look at the...

Cheri, you did miss a good Expo not as exciting as this girl’s day out but still a lot of fun. Amazing how much fun you can have sitting in lawn chairs, in a parking lot making new friends and catching up with old one!
