    How much money do you make?

    The question we usually get is "Can you make any money driving that little truck?" Our standard reply is we must we own our truck free and clear do you? What I want to say though is nope we are just doing this for our health! I agree it seems like such a stupid question and it usually comes...

    Dance, Dance, Revolution

    I have no rhythm at all but I love to think that I do. I tried the DDR with my nephew and wow is that a work out! When I saw that the Wii Fit had the step as an exercise I was thrilled. I know it does not have all the moves as the DDR but I still have a lot of fun with it. I am also sure...

    Wii Fit

    I wish that we could get centered in front of our TV but the Wii still works pretty darn good. There are a few strength exercises that Bob has modified and does pretty at. Here are a few of our Wii Fit Scores: I am of course pretty good at catching fish!! Penguin Bob 86...

    Company Stats

    We have never run for an owner and that changes the equation greatly. I spend a great amount of time working on our cost per mile and that is what sets what we will accept a load for. When we receive a load offer we first look to see where the load in going, if we know of any tolls, and also...

    Wii Fit

    We have had the Wii Fit for a little over a month now and we are seeing results that are very positive. We have found areas of balance we have neglected while driving the truck and with the Wii Fit are working on improving. The Wii Fit is a harsh task master and does not let you slide at all...

    Ontimes Article on Terryandrene

    We have not seen the article yet but what that Van driver did for Terry was above and beyond and he is a Hero! May all of us be that helpful to a fellow driver who has just had an accident in a strange town and is pretty much stranded with all of their "stuff". Don deserves a lot of...

    Air Tabs Question

    India, Will you let us know how and when the company resolves this issue? I have no doubt that the company will make it right as they do have a pretty good reputation. Bob was very careful about cleaning the box surface with rubbing alcohol before he applied our Air Tabs and many truck...

    TA Discount

    Our fuel cost percentage per mile just keeps dropping! Not only are we doing well with our fuel mileage by slowing down we are now paying even less for fuel. When you take into consideration our FSC is figured on the national average of 4.50 a gallon this week and we are only paying around...

    About Load Acceptance and Debt

    Moose you are right about paying the truck off early but in many cases if you look at the interest a first time buyer are paying it is better to pay the truck off and then invest. The other factor for us is risk tolerance which I have very little of when it comes to debt. We have a good friend...

    About Load Acceptance and Debt

    Not having debt took a huge weight off of our shoulders and we look at each day differently. We had been debt free for many years before we bought this truck and the day we paid it off was like winning the lotery. Now instead of each month looking to see how much interest we have paid we look...

    Window Shades

    What we like about cutting the shades to fit the windows is you can open and close the doors and nothing falls. There is also no area on the windshield to let any heat through. We found that the easiest way to store ours was under the bed. Jan did a much better job though on her windows.

    Understanding the Load Opportunity

    I have mentioned who you need to get in contact with your CC or if that does not have the results you want go to Contractor Relations.

    Understanding the Load Opportunity

    You are 100% correct when a question is asked and I am not sure of my answer I get on the phone or I email and start asking questions. While I am asking questions I am writing the replys I recieve. You are the one asking the questions I am trying to be sure that my replys are correct.

    Like two kids in a candy store

    You are right Jack-Berry Bob in a dress would be a something. Can you just see Bob in a dress and high heels with makeup? Now that would be a sight to behold!

    The FedEx Driver Council

    One thing that we O/O's will all agree on is the none of us agrees with every policy or procedure put out by FCC. We each want more money, more miles, less deadhead, less downtime, fewer random drug tests, do you not think that FCC and every company out here does not know this? You say you'd...

    The FedEx Driver Council

    Terry is a much better writer then I am or could ever even hope to be and he can really convey a message or thought where I usually just mess it up. The council membership I believe is around 12 members. We do not represent other members of the fleet we are only typical owner and operators of...
