    When I was 17

    Life is Good! I know at 17 Bob and I never had this in mind for our future! Bob was into race cars and I was into race horses neither planning on getting married and having kids right away. Someone else had a better plan for us and we have no complaints we have been very lucky and very...

    EO Site Question

    All I see also is the advertisements and I am often in a hurry and forget to look for the new articles. That is to bad as Jeff has really done some very informative ones.

    Help Please, Need Advice

    When you run for a big carrier as a Driver you get paid by the mile and could care less about fuel. Those trucks are governed so you run with your foot pushed to the floor from morning to night. As for log books.....

    Shower in the truck

    We bought the washcloths after you suggested them last time India and they are so much better then Wet Ones! You really feel so refreshed after warming up the clothes almost as good as a shower. I have not tried the shampoo either on us but I do use the shampoo on Molly every once in awhile...

    We have done both USX and now at FedEx Custom Critical. As a solo I would sure do USX first learn as much as you can from them and make all the newbie's mistakes driving their trucks. Then if you really like driving but do not like the forced dispatch, the being treated worse then a number...

    When is a D is better than a C

    I have tracked all of loads since day one with FedEx Custom Critical in an Express truck. We are offered many more D loads then C loads. This is not always due to weight some is due to customer requesting wrong size truck of the length if what we are picking up. No way would we ever run...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    Truck Show 2008

    Bob and I have found a few ideas that help us get the most out of this truck show. We quickly found that what he wanted to spend hours looking at I think actually drooling over did not interest me in the least! We have found we each take a phone, head out in our different directions, then we...

    Mats

    We cannot wait for MATS to get here! All ready checking out the work shops and the vendors. For us to get the most out of MATS we have to have a plan or we do not have time to see every thing we had planned on. With so many vendors and so much to see and experience it is very easy to get side...
