    Women in Trucking

    Ellen I was mentioning that we have tried working with you and I am not alone in my thoughts on the problems we have run into with WIT. I know you have been at the Expo for many years in the form of Trucker Buddy and now with WIT. I and others here are trying to say some of issues we have had...

    Women in Trucking

    Ellen, I did send you PM's about WIT truck and getting more involved with the expediters as I thought this was really going to be great for all of us driving in the trucking sector. The forums at the time I was trying to get something going only concentrated on getting into the "big trucks"...

    Yes, We're considering FedExCC in "bad times"

    You two sound as if you know what you are getting into and are prepared for many of the areas that you find on the road that are not common to a 9 to 5 person. I would suggest also get as large a network of advisors you possible can and ask lots of questions and then sift through what will work...

    Women in Trucking

    I also joined this organization last year at MATS and will not be renewing my membership. I thought the idea was great for WIT but I was soon discouraged as I felt an Expediter in a "small truck" and also by driving team the leaders of this group really did not want much to do with us. It will...

    Fuel Mileage

    We were so excited we just had one fill with 11.01 mpg! Maybe all of our fuel mileage improvements are finally working for us.

    Who is Coming to the Mid-America Trucking Show?

    There is free parking and paid parking depending on how close you want to be. The stadium has free parking and I sure hope someone that remembers the name of the stadium will reply. A free shuttle runs back and forth so you do not need to worry about walking miles. We park nearer to the...

    FECC new system

    When we first hear of change we get upset and worry, then we look at all of the negatives. After we get through that we start looking at the positives and realize without change we would become stagnant and behind the times. To us new ways of doing the same old job present a new challenges and...

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    To us it is very simple if you do not want a load offer in the middle of the night and you do not want the beeps go out of service. In reality though how often do we get a load offer in the middle of then night? We have had very few. If we are offered a load opportunity and we do not like the...

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    Well from what we have read and seen of the dispatch system it will work out well for us and our carrier. Get the loads covered faster by confiming to the customer that we have a truck available to take the load. From what we have read I do not believe this will affect our load acceptance or...

    Trashhole of a Pilot

    When we are in the area that is the truck stop we always stay at. We noticed last time that it appeared to be running down. The installation of Idle Air did not help the parking either. We have spent the night at the Cabalas when the Pilot was full. The problem for us is this truck stop is...

    We Lost A Good Friend

    John O was one of the best. Always helpful and what a great sense of humor and a great sense of life he had. He is sure going to be missed on this site. Thanks for letting us know.

    Bye To The Cool People

    Moot if you to this point have all the bobbleheads I am sure you are not legal to drive that van! If you are not careful you will have to lower the weight of the freight you are able to haul!

    strange people knocking on your door

    Usually at night if someone knocks I am the one to stick my head out from behind the curtains as Bob will talk to them I pretty much tell them to get away from the truck. It is so frustrating to be sleeping in a pay lot and someone know on the door wanting money. We just use our door locks...

    Company Sand Bagging

    If you accept a load that does not have a confirmed delivery this can happen. It seems this happens to us most often when we accept a load on Friday expecting to deliver on Saturday then the load will come back with a confirmed delivery on Monday. You will not get any detention time on a...

    Favorite Meals in the Truck

    You can buy the Rocket Grill at Wal-Mart. They cook just like a George Foreman grill but you use a parchment bag to place your food in and drop it down into the grill. The parchment paper collects all the grease then when food is done you throw away the parchment bag and you are done with your...

    Favorite Meals in the Truck

    We bought a Rocket Grill and a meal we are really stuck on right now is Hillshire Farms Italian Style Smoked sausage, bell peppers and onions. I cut the sausage into about 4" pieces, cut up the onion and bell pepper into long pieces then stick them into the grill for about ten minutes! We...
