    ATA Truck Driving Championships

    We were contacted about representing the wonderful state of Missouri and decided we were not willing to put the commitment into this we would need to. You have made a believer out of us Phil that there are trucks shows and other events we would rather attend and we are really re-thinking some...

    Wide Singles

    We have been running the SS about a year and we will spec them on our next truck. We have felt a noticeable difference in the way our truck rides. We bought ours before we really started listening to Kevin and we bought the deep lug and it took awhile to notice a measurable fuel savings. So...

    Do you get sick of the food?

    Wow Steve I think you have hit upon a solution, we need to quit eating in the truck and eat all meals in the truck stops, we get sick of the food and we quit eating so much. How come I am doubting this theory a little bit the more I think about it!! You are thinking out of the box for sure.

    Wal-Mart has been doing that to suppliers since about day one as the supplier has to package their product to also fit the shelves. Really an intertesting book to listen to.

    Safety Challenge Weekend

    We attended the Skills Challenge last year and wish we could have attended this year to defend our titles but you hit the nail on the head with your statements about it being too busy a time of year. If we had been close we would have attended the event but to dead head very far is just too...

    Roadcheck 2008

    X06col that has to be your best line ever! Pay attention to the small stuff and the big stuff takes care of itself! While we do not like the road side inspections as of the time you have to spend sitting there and also the tension of wondering what they might find. Overall though we do not...

    Book Reviews

    I thought it would be fun to post about books you have read or listened to you have enjoyed. I down load books from Audible.com to my IPOD and would highly recommend the site as they have a huge selection of audio books. I am presently listening to the Wal-Mart Effect by Charles Fishman which...

    Happy I Found This

    Welcome! We have all different types here those that left T/T and love the straight trucks, those that moved to a straight truck and went back to T/T. The field is wide open to figure out what you like best! Those that went to a van that are not doing so well. Good Luck

    Heck no we do not refuse bonus nor would we if FedEx Custom Critical gave out one! I agree with Paid Vacationer enjoy it! I was just wondering why it was given. Heck I am so tight I got in a terrible quandary the other day when a Flying J gave us a senior discount. I about had to bite my...

    Why would they give you a bonus for taking care of your equipment? I am at a loss here.

    Roadcheck 2008

    Paid Vacationer who are you with that you would get paid a bonus for taking care of your truck? I have not heard of such an odd practice before. Seems odd to get a bonus to me for taking care of what makes you a living while it is running not broke down.

    Roadcheck 2008

    Why would we make money for a good inspection? As and owner operator I would expect a good inspection every time as we reply on our truck to make our living. I would assume our carrier would also feel the same way and would question not having a good inspection.

    Folding Bikes

    They are very easy to fold up and easy to remake into bikes. The petals on the bikes even fold up as well as the handle bars. It makes into a small box like dimensions and will actually fit in our side took boxes. Bob stores his bike in the nose of the box and today we had a rather large load...

    FSC What happened?

    Your figures prove why we are doing everything in our power to reduce our fuel costs. Look around at how everyone is tightening their belts including our carrier to get through these lean times. Can you imagine without the help we receive from FCC what it would cost to dead head from Seattle...
