    Walking amongst the snakes!

    I am from that area and get teased often as I am always watching the ground and listening. Once you have heard a rattlesnake give you warning to move away from him you will never forget that sound. There are also many more wonderful and nasty little creatures in the desert that would love to...

    Why such Doom and Gloom

    This business is like any other there are some that can take a lemon and make lemonade and others that just see the sour lemon. It is what you make of it and how you handle your finances and time. As Phil said there are really good weeks and there are really bad weeks that can stretch into a...

    South Dakota Campground

    We really lucked out this past weekend. We arrived at the campground on Saturday and the wind was blowing like crazy. We took that time to get all our laundry done at the very clean and cheap facilities at the campground. The next morning we ate breakfast at Fort Hays and then started our...

    Georgia Classic Sleepers

    The new sleeper Middle Georgia Classic is now made in house! The great thing about them making the sleeper right there helps with the cost and if you want to customize anything.

    save what

    I think that my picture albums would also be what I would want to save first then my practical side would win out and I would go for my business records. The above two things though without saying are after the family and Molly are safe and sound they are the most important of anything. Leo...

    Thanks FedEx Custom Critical

    Wondering Dave what you mean by this comment? And before "the fawn and bunnies" come out, I wonder how many left Panther or Landstar only to return later? We have also seen an assortment of trucks in the FCC parking lot and some with many different shades of logos on their trucks. Some trucks...

    What happened to Laredo outbound freight?

    Do not forget the key to expediting is patience! Laredo will really test your patience more than any other city I think. There are some great loads that come out of there if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time. If we deliver on a Friday and get no offers we also head north but...

    Get on the phone!

    We have our QC set to shut down after one hour so the phone feature to us is a must have. I love the fact that you do not have to pay to receive the messages and if you have free messages with your phone you pay nothing for this great service.

    How Do You Get Home?

    We usually go home about every two to three months depending on what is happening at the time. We schedule all of our truck maintenance, health appointments and any other appointments for that time. One we have started setting dates for being at home we start watching our loads so as to not...

    How Many Know Their Cost Per Mile?

    In expediting you cost per mile rules you life and those that do not know it are flying by the seat of their pants. As the load pay tightens up the cpm becomes more and more important. I do not think very many people know their true cost per mile. Seems as if some people we talk to say they...

    Favor of Postcards

    You know Greg I figured the kids would probably love the Jackalope from Texas but I imagine you are right the teacher would probably like state capital postcards or state outlines. I think though when they get a postcard of Phil's truck they will very impressed with the flag mural and the...

    Thanks FedEx Custom Critical

    You guys FedEx Custom Critical is a huge office not just a few dispatchers sitting around doing their jobs. It is a big business with what I would imagine to be over 500 people working there and that does not include the upper floor which is another division of FedEx. What is the big deal with...

    YES OVM any state will do just fine she just wants post cards from all over the United States. I think if she was to get one from Canada she would be even more thrilled. You know third graders are pretty easy to impress!
