Good Luck!! Sure sounds like you will be having a lot of fun.

Why would a dispatcher give a rats *** they are not driving a truck they took a job as a night dispatcher. We are the ones that said we can handle driving a truck, being a business owner, and hauling expedited freight so we are the ones that said yep we can handle it and we can do a good job...

You got it on your sig line! Well we are not a B Unit and not familiar with Try Hours but this is how it works with FedEx Custom Critical in D unit. When we enter our arrival at consignee we are given layover choices. With each layover choice is how many miles from where you sit to the city...

Cheri you really came up with a good list. We are eating more often in the truck and that really saves us a bundle. We are also more aware of out dead heading to go shopping, see things, dead head home, and also to dead head to a different express center. Our largest expense is our fuel and...

Steve tell Art he needs to just eat free crackers and drink water and that would also help you out and he would not have to make so much.

Bob and I went to the skills challenge last year to have fun which we did! The exciting part was how well we placed. It was nice taking the test in our own truck as we know what to look for in the mirrors. A skills challenge would be a lot of fun to have at the Expo as long as it was looked...

We found just the opposite of Phil and Diane on why we enjoy our GPS so much. We first tried just the map and writing the route on a piece of paper. Works great till you have a detour. I am more timid then Bob while going through large cities and when we first started the fear I felt was very...

Atlas Shrugged by Ann Rand Everytime I see someone post that something has to be done about the fuel prices, the hours of service, or our way of life I think of that book and my blood runs cold. Anyone that thinks we need more government control needs to listen to that book

Send a message to Cheri she is a solo driver that participates in the forums. Not many companies do well with solos and most owner operators want teams. Do not give up though if this is something you really want to do. Keep asking questions, learning and preparing for this new way of living...

Wow I cannot even imagine thinking I could do something like that much less trying it. I hope she makes it.

I was listening to this arguement on the radio and this ruling could sure affect a lot of people using their computer for a GPS system. We have seen people and know of people who watch movies going down the road really a bad practice, listen to a book while driving!

Yes we are serious about the 14 mpg very serious. The DD13 is not in production yet but Bob spent some time with the Detroit Diesel fuel engineer while attending MATS this year. He was very impressed with what he have been able to get out of this CAT motor and the effort we are willing to put...

Well in defense of the M2 and their owners you buy what you can afford and make due the best you can. We are lucky that Bob is a mechanic and can work on most things him but that air conditioner has driven us nuts. We did our homework and we talked to many dealers before we bought our truck...

I have also noticed redytrk that ITUNES books cost more than audible.com books. I share an account with my daughter which is a great cost savings. We subscribe at a higher level to get more free books. She pays one month and I pay the next and we can share whatever books the other orders. I...

When at home we always take the truck to Caterpillar for all engine work we have a great shop also that works on our Allison Transmission.

I just thought you were wanting to warn Newbies about the thrills of getting your truck worked on! I will try to move this post but I will warn you my last attempt turned out terrible!

Planet Walker sounds like a very interesting book to read. Do you have that in audio or hardback? Has anyone read any of the books by Larry Winget? He is an in your face type of inspirational writer and speaker. Love all of his books and someday hope to attend one of his speaking engagements.

Thanks Greg I just figured I was not looking at the correct screen or something. That is exactly what was happening to me.

Boy that is my thoughts on Freightliner dealerships also. Our last fix on the road we had done at a Peterbilt that worked on Cat Motors. We were pleasantly surprised at how quick the work was done, and how well we were treated. Was a very nice change. I hope this time you will get it fixed...

There was a software change and we have lost all of our friends. Just have to reclick on them in your user CP file to reinvite everyone. I was also trying to give someone a favorable rating today and cannot figure out how once again. Has anyone tried this in the past few days and are...
