    flatbed expediters??

    FedEx Custom Critical has a division for Flatbeds you might want to check with them for more info. I believe though they go both pull their own flatbed and also pull a dry van when needed. Marc Hodge Recruiter FedEx Custom Critical 800-848-2613 phone 877-839-0565 fax

    Thanks to Linder

    You know really this sounds like such a good idea for the Expo! It really does not have to be an expensive book with hints and tips on cooking in the truck and cleanup!

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    We have had notes of no dogs allowed, we have been to nuclear plants with no problem with dog and passenger, we have been to chemical plants where Molly was not allowed, and we have been to chemical plants where Molly went in and I had to stay out. We also picked up at one Chemical plant where...

    Thanks to Linder

    Re: too much like work. Really the rice cooker is so easy to use and cleanup. Last night while working in the truck I made grilled Chicken Breasts in the Rocket grill, Macaroni and Cheese in the rice cooker, and then made Mexican Steam Fresh corn in the microwave. Then for desert I made one...

    How's 33 working for you?

    I think the customers have to love that within a few minutes they know a truck is on their way to pick up the freight. Everyday the system is getting tweaked and improving.

    New quick cake in microwave

    India, we just tried your little cakes! What a great size and you do not stuff yourself. Supper easy to make and just throw away your dish and cleanup is done. Thanks for the heads up!

    Skills Challenge has been cut.

    We attended the Skills challenge two years ago but I do not remember seeing you guys there. We had a great time at that skills challenge, particularly since I beat Bob's second place driving award by placing first. Due to fuel prices and not being really close to Green, we made the decision...

    One of worst fears realized

    You are right it was just an event and we made it through it. Another fear faced and conquered! Having our emergency fund takes away so much stress as our truck has not had any warranty for a long time. IRT is pretty close the bill was almost 2000.00 without the cost of the rental car to get...

    One of worst fears realized

    The fuel pump finally went out. Took it almost 6 months to finally give up after visiting several shops.

    One of worst fears realized

    I should have been a little more clear this happened on Friday before Labor Day weekend so that is why we rented a car and came home as they would not work on the truck till Tuesday! I think my fear of the unknown is what keeps me asking Bob a million questions. This time though it went very...

    One of worst fears realized

    Breaking down beside the road! It finally happened and I am happy to say we lived through it and we are still married! We had been having an intermittent problem with our truck that had been driving Bob nuts plus in and out of shops. Just like any motor when we would go into a shop the...

    sitting on the weekend

    Heck I do not think Bob has ever created a record when he is polishing on the truck, greasing the truck and doing general maintenance. Usually on the weekends it is us taking care of the truck not going into a shop so no records. There is always tons to do and no way we will could ever say...

    Panther holding back O/O's

    Your horses are only stopped for you! They look like they are moving on to me. We have also sat watching loads being dispatched, drivers calling in, and loads being called in. What an eye opener to see all of this. We put on head sets to listen to the calls between customers and also when...

    American Truck Business Services for tax purposes

    We are one example of someone who started with ATBS and after one year moved on what a mess. Just as with Expedite Companies some fit your business and others do not. ATBS did not fit our needs and we moved on to John Turner due to a great recommendation of a good friend. One of the things we...

    sitting on the weekend

    All the above! Our weekends are usually so darn busy I am ready for Monday just to rest up. Weekends are just a great time to get everything ship shape for another week and do some of the fun things we usually at this time of year do not get done. We also make time on the weekends to play on...

    Have you ever been accused of being homeless.

    Our funniest happening was in Wichita KS with USXpress. We were told to go there to pick up a load on New Year’s Eve and the load canceled. Our daughter lived in Wichita at the time so that was fine with us. We parked the truck in a strip shopping mall that was no longer open. We ended up...

    Tipping

    We do tip sometimes. If the attendant is on the ball, we get an extra towel; the attendant is busting their behind to keep up, attitude and a few other reasons. Hard to believe though that this does not happen very often!
