We have the food savor mini and I do like it. Bob was trying to save a little when he bought it and did not get the cutter on the machine. It is a pain to cut all of the bags and guess the size. If you are going to vacuum pack anything that has much liquid you need to freeze it first as the...

When we go home we like to prepare meals with leftovers in mind for the truck. I have found that if we use the freezer baggies or the vacuum seal bags that if I shape them into a book form I can store many meals. We pack our leftovers into two person servings and then shape the package into...

I was hoping you would catch that reference even though I really don't know how fast you drive!

I fear a mountain pass even more then I do the icy, snowy road. I would much rather have the chains on going at a slow turtle speed with everyone going slow then to just have an icy snowy pass and no restrictions. What are some of the rules everyone follows when going down steep hills in the...

Leo what a cool thing to do! Have great fun and do not forget to look up once in awhile and admire the planes.

and you will hear exactly where the darn interstate is closed!

One way to look at this is FedEx Custom Critical has discounted loads and Panther has Household Mover miles for loads. Works out the same or close I imagine in what a driver is paid.

First thing is slow down! Do not follow to close as you need more room to stop and to turn. Keep your dash cleared off to let your vents work to keep the windshield clean. Keep good windshield wipers on the vehicle. We keep the reservoir full of windshield washer as you go through lots of...

Greg we are Express Drivers and I believe do very well. Yes we are a team and yes we run hard and stay in service longer then many by our choice. Bob and I have sat with our Contract Coordinator more then once and watched loads being dispatched. We have also sat with another dispatcher and I...

Send in a message and put yourself on the phone. Either do this on the QualComm when you check into a Express Center if you drive for FedEx Custom Critical or call in. Very easy to do and you will not miss a load!

I agree with Pelicn this is a life style and is very stressful if your whole heart is not in it!

and the plot thickens!

layoutshooter where did you have this done? We keep asking at places we stop and no one is doing it yet. We are hoping when we are in Saint Louis for some home time we can get this done. It will be well worth the effort and expense from all we have heard.

We use the Rice Cooker now as tried the rice cooker in the microwave but it just takes to long. I also had a problem if we where going down the road of the water sloshing out. With the Rice Cooker I can set the rice cooker down in the sink on a sink liner and I do not have any problems.

Cheri, If you saw a mule deer you would know it! They have rather large ears and they are pretty big! We saw so many of them and luckily they where out on the mountains coming down highway 395 from Spokane. What a nice drive but on September 23rd we ran in some snow up there. Bob mentioned...

Pelicn You have solved a lot of the problem. I will look at Wal-Mart the next time we get close to one.

We had a really fun load a couple weeks ago! We took a load from Los Angles to Vancouver BC. We picked up the band equipment for Robin Thicke who was opening for Beyonce at the downtown civic center. Great miles and great scenery on the way up. We got in line with the 13 semi's unloading...

Wow you guys do have luck! If we even think of going home or a certain area off we go in the opposite direction. Sometimes we swear the dispatchers can hear us talking or thinking at times! Good for you guys and enjoy the trip!

Wow you guys have really followed our path till you got to the Sprinter! Bob also drove for USX for 4 years and I rode with him. No way was I going to drive in NYC or Boston. Heck I got scared just trying to help him out with navigation! We also then got off the road when we really figured...

LOL ok Terry that makes a lot more sense! But I have heard of people exercising that many times a day. Well I am sure you could do that most of the time.
