RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down You are right on lifting the axle to pay less and I am sure it happens. I believe it is in Ohio you get charged for what you weigh not the axles. We are just in a habit of going to a toll booth and saying two axles please! I know once in...

RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down If you do not watch the little stuff it can become a big problem. It is much better to come out loaded but be light enough you don't need that axle. Every penny counts.

RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down x06col Why in the world would you tell anyone to leave an axle down when not needed? You are always preaching save money run smart! With the axle down you have more rolling resistance and your fuel mileage goes down. You are also putting...

Wow Lucy good for you but I am wondering where the heck you lost 20lbs! You are not a big women to begin with but good for you. I am also thinking next time we see you and Sam we will only recognize you because you will be next to him and also have your cool lug nut cover earrings on! I also...

Greg!! I didn't say that all of those great things are just for women to enjoy! Also Bob spent a lot of time making me furious on teaching me to back or as I considered it just bossing me around. I finally got mad said a few choice words and asked him to go to the back. It took me awhile...

Wow Greg let me list the ways!! 1. Trucks are very easy to drive and handle 2. You sit higher then the 4-wheelers gives you a better view of the road and also a sense of safety. 3. You get a chance to listen to as many books as your heart has ever dreamed of reading while driving. 4. You are...

I do admit I like to promote expediting! This field is so darn women friendly it is hard to not promote this life style. On another web site I am a member of that is for big trucks I am saddened by some of those women's stories who need to make good money but are afraid every day of the truck...

Has anyone joined this group or talked with a representative of theirs? I joined this year organization the year before last and really felt as if I wasted my time and money. I tried different ways to promote the expediting life style and really got no encouragement. I was not sure if it was...

Greg I took the figures from the FedEx Custom Critical web site.

Fuel-Surcharge program is that, in essence you will pay 1.20 per gallon of fuel on all authorized miles. Based On Semi - 6 MPG Straight Truck - 9 MPG Cargo Van - 15 MPG

or under other trucks!! Get better soon.

I for one do not just consider us "Truck Drivers" but more of a business owner with pride in what we do and how we do it.

First impression mean a lot and the people that have the "balls" hanging from their vehicles sure dont come across very good at all. I dont like seeing them and I would even prefer to not park by anything that has them hanging there. Pride in your ride in my opinion does not include those.

Better late then never!! Happy Birthday Cheri and I hope the next year in the best one yet! Stay safe out there!

If you choose to carry a gun in your truck against the law do not take a load into Canada. This is a federal offence and you will lose your lease and you will go to jail and you truck will get impounded. If you make your living driving a truck with a CDL you need to be aware of how easy it...

Jim darn it you know me to well! Pappy what a cool solution as it is usually my coffee cup that is giving me so much grief.

There are a lot of good ideas here but one that has not been said for new people looking at this job is you cannot have a gun in a commercial vehicle. Due to a suggestion from Leo we had stickers made for our truck that say we are equipped with a silent alarm system. No one has to know that...

Got them! Can't sleep going down the road with out them. I can still hear some of the rattles though or it could be my imagination.

OVM, Thanks for the ideas! I figured you would know how crazy it can get tried to find a noise.
