    Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Interval

    RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte If every gadget or improvement device came standard on a truck can you imagine the cost of that truck? The manufactures watch their pennies and they sure are not going to put on anything extra they don't have to so their prices can stay...

    How Does It Feel to Pay Off a Truck?

    Phil, Since you don't plan on getting out of expediting you will have to continue to make a truck payment to yourself. The no debt is what motivates us to keep making those truck payments to ourselves so we can pay cash for the next one. We have found that if we stay involved with industry...

    How Does It Feel to Pay Off a Truck?

    In reality I feel as if this is a foolish question. Yes we have paid off our truck but the business decisions stay the same. The former payment goes into the bank to gain interest towards the next truck. We plan to run this truck till it becomes a liability and is getting to the point of being...

    Expediting in the West? Any good?

    Jack stays very busy out in that area as a solo and I think he could right a book on how to expedite in the west and win! We also love to get out there and run the loads up and down the coast and always have a lot of fun and dread the beep that sends us back east. We would actually also...

    Walking or Parking on Ice

    With winter coming I am once again dreading when we have to park in a lot that is all ice. Last year I bought shoe chains but they didn't work as well as anticipated! I haven't came up with a plan for this year but to hope we stay away from all lots that are solid ice. Last year I managed...

    The new Smart car

    When we where in Europe these where every where! If you read much about them they have a roll cage built into them like a NASCAR. They are super safety conscious. I think they are cool looking but Bob doesn't think to much of them. What can I expect he didn't like our VW bugs either.

    October 31st

    If you are driving this night watch the overpasses. This night can really be a pain for people liking to throw pumpkins off of the bridges. I know Bob doesn't worry about one being dropped on us but I sure do. My hopes are if you are aware that this could happen and are watching I am hoping...

    E Rumble Strips

    http://www.iteris.com/ Take a look at the web site and see what you think. The joke we have is if we could also get the Vorad system and have cruise control on we could drive with our eyes shut. Now for the real story we have drove with a Vorad system with US Express as all of their trucks...

    E Rumble Strips

    The following is a presentation we gave to fellow drivers about our test of the LDWS. We went into this test with some trepdation over the sounds the system would make and also the fact that we didnt really need it. We where totally shocked out how well the test unfolded. Now when we see a...

    A question for FXCC contractors and drivers

    We as drivers are the number one sales force for FedEx Custom Critical. Can you only imagine what a shipper must think after paying a premium for our service and a dirty broke down truck and a dirty driver show up that is dressed in shorts flip flops are just plain dirty unkempt clothing? As a...

    FedEx Express Centers

    RE: FedEx Custom Critical Express Centers sixwheeler FedEx Custom Critical does not actually own a piece of property called an Express Center so they are not selling anything. An Express Center means you need to be parked with 25 miles of the city center. So getting rid of an Express...

    Thank you FedEx!!!
