I will admit that you have a really cute cat that is well mannered. We where lucky to get to meet your Cat and you! Your truck has to be lonely with only you in it. I am amazed when we go somewhere with out truck and we do not have Molly at how cold our truck is. We would miss her...

As a team we look at each load individually and what the load pays. Doesn't make any difference if the load is solo or team but what will the load do for us. Another item we do not pay any attention to is if the load is a B, C or D rate. If the load pays, is going to a better freight area...

RE: Top 5 things to make money with any carrier fastrod How much time have you spent in Green sitting with dispatchers and contract coordinators dispatching? From what we have been told over and over call your Contract Coordinator or Contractor Relations and make an appointment to sit with...

RE: Top 5 things you can do to make money with FED To me if you meant this as a funny ha ha and was not to be taken seriously it might have been better placed in the loading dock.

RE: Gadgets & Accessories - Outside of truck And sneak a peek before you answer the knock on the door!

Now Leo you know I think you are perfect just the way you are!!

Where you paying rent and/or taxes on where you lived?

I have a hard time with the 4 days a month. You have to be able to prove by paying rent, house payment or taxes on a home to get the per diem. I trust our accountant on this one as we are very rarely home every month or every other month.

Leo go ahead and try this out and keep us updated! The idea really does sound as if it will work. One of the hard things for us in the truck is you don't eat on a schedule sometimes and much to often you just grab something and keep going. We really need to get better disciplined in this area.

There are other trucks that are out here that are not reefers so do not have to worry about the temperature control. Having the biggest area to carry all the freight you can sometimes will make the difference of getting a load or not. The key out here is to be available for all that you can...

We have quit hanging out in joints also but the darn joint pain doesn't know it yet!

Yes the barn doors do as you can stack the freight to the ceiling of the box. You do not have to worry about tracks for the door. One point of interest though is we have only stacked freight to the ceiling a few times in this truck.

We started using Ginger Root to help with joint pain.

RE: Gadgets & Accessories - Outside of truck In our "wheel estate" we still stay in the truck lanes as we are usually going so slow! We still really like our SS tires, the way the truck rides, and the slight increase in fuel mileage. We have looked at the automatic tire chains before we...

This is not going anywhere. Ask a more appropriate question. This is locked.

These are some of the items we have on the outside of our truck. I have included some approximate costs of what we paid and I am sure many of you have may have gotten a better price on these items. I was just talking to another driver about the heated windshield wipers which we have tried...

We have the HIGH deductible insurance from State Farm coupled with a HSA. When we went this way our first goal was to get enough money into the HSA to cover the deductibles and then let the mutual funds help it to grow. Another way we have handled this is instead of taking money out of the HSA...

We have taken vitamins for several years. We take a multi vitamin, fish oil, calcium, ginger root, and a aspirin daily. This must work and knock on wood we just do not get sick! Even when around sick people we are ok. We also got hoodwinked but the vitamins in the truck stop and the cost...

FedEx Custom Critical and Panther are among the carriers that have decided to embrace the technology available in electronic logging and begin testing the applicability of products that will legally allow drivers to dispense with paper logs. When and if the Federal Government mandates the...
