    Barn doors vs. Roll-up doors

    We have barn doors and like the fact the doors are the same size as the box. We have the Air Tabs and you are right there is very little build up of snow on the doors. We have an elevator lift gate so the gate is tucked completely under the truck and as such we cannot get snow build up behind...

    Electronic Logs

    I want to stand back and watch you tell him to get his or her lazy but out there and look in the truck! That would make my day. That is an intersting problem though did you talk to Panther logs about this and how to handle the situation? We also are able to receive a fax to our email and it...

    Gadgets and Accessories

    What do you have to make your life easier and more profitable going down the road? Since we bought this truck we have added many gadgets! I have added the costs of some of the items we have bought to only be used as a reference as I am sure someone has purchased these items cheaper or have...

    You know what would be cool

    I believe Alumibunk is doing this. I don't see much room for the awnings in truck stops, not can I imagine to many stores and their parking lots being thrilled over this situation. Now if you are the type to park in RV lots this would really be great and if you are pre assigned it would even...

    IT IS A !!!!!!!!!!!

    As a mother and not as a MOD I am going to give an opinion. When you post on the forums you are going to get an opinion on any topic. I hope she will rethink what she is going to do in the future and as you say get a job where she can be home as much as possible with her baby girl. Maybe some...

    Christmas Movies

    Scrooge! Disney's animated version and there is an old black and white one I love. To Bob's dismay I have many Christmas movies from the cartoon ones to the feel good ones and I love them all. I do only play them in December though. He is also very pleased that I have an IPOD and I play my...

    Dispatchers?

    Our background is with forced dispatch and we were less then a number. The first time we had a telephone load offer from FedEx Custom Critical we thought it was a wrong number because of how we where treated. Who the heck every heard of a THANK YOU for taking a load? Yes there are some that...

    IT IS A !!!!!!!!!!!

    All of the above and I am being conservative in my writings! I am not for more laws but children that live full time in a truck to me is a very sad situation and shouldn't be allowed. How can a small child grow and mature correctly in a 8' box if that big? If you are going to go back in the...

    Tax Question for drivers of owner operators.

    We feel as if John Turner is worth every cent we pay him due to the fact he stays current on the tax laws that affect the trucking world. An accountant that does businesses and does not specialize will not know of all the loopholes a specialist like John does know. Money well spent.

    Meeting your goal(s)

    One thing I don't think FedEx Custom Critical can be accused of is playing favorites. In Express there are just to many checks and balances. We personally believe that when the Nuclear Plants started relaxing many of their restrictions on dogs this helped our cause a lot. We are not White...

    Tax Question for drivers of owner operators.

    I hope over the past year you have kept all of your receipts. You are going to need to re-create your year and you need all the help you can find. Immediately on Monday call a good CPA and get the process started on what you are going to need to do. The price of a good CPA is going to scare...

    Going out of your way!

    Mentors! When we got into this business we searched and spent a year just reading attending truck shows and talking before we jumped in. We made the personal decision to buy our own truck and just jump in feet first! What a leap that was for me as I had not drove before only rode with Bob...

    Meeting your goal(s)

    We have had a very interesting year. We will meet our financial goals for this year but just barely. We would not be able to meet them if we took the month of December off. We have had so many highlights this year that we are amazed when we look back. We have become DoD qualified with a...
