Your tolls depend on what size truck you are running and if you are a solo or team. A solo driver based out of the NE will spend a lot on tolls each month. We as a team are all over the country. We can go several months with no tolls then we have a month were we will have over 200.00 in...

Terry how the heck did you find this place? You need to get a load and get busy. I do have to say that is the first advertisement that held my attention and I kept wanting to see what would happen next. Good Post!

Does anyone know how Aviator is doing and where he is at? He really had some great posts.

Good Post Leo and what you have said goes for teams.

We have done most of what you have done with your truck to save on fuel. We have taken the Turbo D Vada off and are in the process of doing a test to see how it truly did affect our fuel milage. We will be putting the Turbo D Vada back on March 1st. Two things have helped us the most out...

What I find interesting is that posters who do not drive for FedEx Custom Critical and some of them for many years are the ones posted that the end of FedEx Custom Critical White Glove is coming to an end. I wonder are they all trying to save us FedEx Custom Critical O/O or trying to validate...

Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. This one though is...

The key though with FedEx Custom Critical is if you do not have enough experience you only need to pass a drive test which is a lot less expensive then the school. You do need a Class A or Class B though first. When I started I had my Class A but I did not have enough recent experience so they...

Ours was our first trip to Manhattan NYC! We had been trying to get out of the north east for about a week and just could not break the loop. We had never been to Manhattan before and really had no desire to ever go. Got the load offer pay was really good, load was light kicker was it picked...

This is from FedEx Custom Criticals Web Site: Proof of Citizenship Required to Cross Border Beginning Jan. 31, 2008 Anyone crossing a border into the United States will need to present proof of citizenship beginning Jan. 31, 2008. You will be able to cross when using a birth certificate...

We do not haul these containers as you have to have a reefer hence usually White Glove. From everything we have heard these containers are an improvement on the dry ice containers and will be even more of a guarantee. of temperature From what we have been told and can deduce from what is...

It is hard and frustrating to go from running as hard as you can in December to what can feel as a complete halt in January. We have had very good Januarys and also very slow January's just depends on if we get our selves out of the freight lanes. This is looking like one of our worst...

I have found another example of why this issue is so confusing and why you need a good truck accountant. Even with the truck accountants they all look at the issues differently. I am taking a course from ATBS called CABS Course of Advanced Business Standards and this is a quote from two of the...

I sent an email to Frank and asked if I could post his reply and he said yes: Legally you can not take the movies and DVD's and any other entertainment deduction, but the only time that it will be disallowed would be when you are audited. and it is basically a minor deduction. you can...

LOL you read my mind Cheri! 12.00 bucks that would have been well spent! We are still in California and Molly is wearing a jacket as the weather has turned cool! I think it is in the 50's now!

That is a really good point on watching the tach. If we drive right at 55 mph we get terrible fuel mileage we have to move up to 57 and get the transmission to switch gears and the tach will drop. When we replace this truck though we will go with a direct drive transmission to get even better...

Well I hate to say this but we are sitting in Gilroy CA with the windows down! No wind a really nice day but would rather be making money then sitting!

We have the 6 speed Allison Transmission and average 9.5 m.p.g. we also only drive 59 m.p.h. We have done many things to our truck though to improve our fuel mileage. We have had very good luck with our transmission and for a new person learning to drive a truck you could not ask for an...
