I wish we could get into Mall but more and more of them do not what straight trucks!

RE: Do you know your credit score? or I love debt Pelicn I also drive nights so I listen from 3:00 to 6:00 on XM 171 and Bob listens in the afternoon from 3:00 to 7:00 on XM 165. Reminds me over and over why we do not have debt!

are12 We also follow your principal of putting money away for a rainy day or month so we can enjoy ourselves. We also keep extra on hand so if we find ourselves in a great place with time on our hands we can become a tourist. Our jobs offer us the greatest flexibility if we take advantage of...

How do you figure your ppm and your cpm if you do not get accurate miles at time of dispatch?

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver flatbedin We have helped several new people out on the forums and also by private PM messages that where carrier specific. We really believe that expediters are the elite of the elite. We have several times met with other expediters to have...

It really is not worth worrying about let them go about their business and you go about yours. Bob is always having issues with big trucks and I don't seem to have any, of course I pay no attention to them. If they don't want me to pass I just pull back in behind them who cares? There are...

RE: Do you know your credit score? or I love debt You must also!! I think he has a rather large following and getting larger everyday.

themagicoen We are very happy with FedEx, we are a D straight truck, non White Glove but we do have a lift gate. With any job you take the good with the bad and believe me as far as we are concerned the good far out weighs the bad. The idea of going back to a 9 to 5 job is enough to give us...

FedEx just gave the contractors a 2% raise. The next question is how much have they taken away by contracts on discounted loads?

I was reading the article by Jeff and being reminded the whole time that a FICO score is an I love debt score. It is to bad that in order to have a good credit score you have to be in debt. If you have no debt and stay that way you have a terrible or no FICO score, which usually means you have...

That is exactly why I love my shift of driving starting at 2:00 in the morning. When the sun is first coming up on another wonderful day. In certain parts of the country the scenery is so amazing I just turn off the radio so as not to miss anything, and once again I thank god for such a great job.

Boy Kraig you are a brave person to handle those crowds. I do not like crowds and do not like to shop at all in stores so catalogs where always my perfect solution. Now with internet I do all my shopping on line and avoid the hassle. The longer we are in the truck the more I dislike all of...

I was also having the problems with the swelling but not the leg cramps. I cut out the sweets and started moving my legs more while driving and this totally stopped the swelling.

The truck and us are perfectly safe from our bonging Moose! Some of you have twisted the meaning of the word bonging! The true meaning which is a lot more boring then what you have came up with is: A deep ringing sound, as of a bell. So we are not having nearly as much fun and living in such...

When we get a load I plot the route and where the fuel stations are located. If I want I can easily lookup the fuel costs for a any fuel stop along the route.

One of the hard things for me was not being at home at this time of year to decorate. To Bob's dismay I have started decorating the truck with some help from him. We have crossed candy canes on the grill with a wreath. In the truck I have few stuffed Christmas creatures on the dash. A bonging...

That is what I am wanting to do, combine two overlay maps. I will keep digging around and see what I can find.

I have started playing around with Streets and Trips and customizing some maps. I was given a cover map with all of the Express Centers for FedEx located plus the locations of the Flying J's. I have since added all of the other major fuel stops and then had the brilliant idea of starting...

Coco, I would like the supersize with extra padding! LOL I have to admit when reading the message before seeing the picture I couldnt even imagine it. Wow they are the cutest but in all honesty I am afraid we will be out of touch over the holidays. Thanks so much for thinking of me. ;)
