We use both the Comdata card and the TAB card. At times it is easier to load money onto the Comdata card especially if we are in an area that does not have many Flying J's. We load the TAB card directly from out bank to the TAB card, the draw back there is it takes a couple of days for the...

Babs you our point exactly!! You have to know YOUR bottom line not what some one else tells you is cheap freight. When we first started we made this mistake and we turned down loads that we shouldn't have. We also turned down loads and then had to dh out of an area for .20 those cheap loads...

Unless you add another axle you will go to a C classification leased to FedEx. If you are considering White Glove I think you will be ok as a C unit with a lift gate but as a surface truck I don't believe I would be beneficial. We have a liftgate we added and also a pusher axle. We are not a...

We have met a lot of great people that drive for other companies. We where reminded again this last weekend that what is on your box does not matter. We where lucky enough to have a Panther truck park next to us that did not bad mouth their company, did not bad mouth their owner, and did not...

I believe for the rest of our lives we will have nightmares of the qualcomm going off in the middle of the night.

We change at 2:00 in the morning and that really seems to be the most fair for us. We both get to sleep some at night but at the same time we get to spend time together. We tried the day and night shift and neither one of can sleep hard enough to not hear the qualcom go off all day, the phones...

I agree do not mention your lack of experience. I believe to rent the truck with air brakes you have to have a CDL holder actually rent the truck that has the air brakes endorsement. Since you have lack of experience I know with FedEx you will have to take a drive test. I would also highly...

Idleair has replaced Park & View. Now instead of little cables you can drive off with flapping on the passengers side you have a unit that fits in the window and will also heat and cool your truck.

With the Honda generator you have to carry gasoline, it will either sit on the ground or you will have to manufacture a bracket or box to sit it on. We have seen trucks use them and they usually have chain with a lock, so I imagine they must also get stolen. You then also have to have an...

We have the centramatics and have been very happy with the even wear on our tires. We have had a Rig Master for two years now and will never run without one. We are happy with both products.

I like your ideas. I had not thought of the hamburger helper. I am always looking for something that I can make easily while going down the road. Also need ideas for morning that you can eat going down the road.

We have been discussing cheap freight and have decided it is somewhat like a garage sale. One mans cheap freight is another mans treasure!! It is sure hard to actually define cheap freight and what the lowest amount you can accept a load for. If you do not know your cost to run the truck then...

I do not like to fry hamburger or sausage in the truck so I have came up with this solution. While at home I will fry my hamburger and also any sausage we might want for omelet's. I then label a freezer bag and freeze what I have cooked. I have also found if you want to do this with steaks it...

RE: Anyone Turned Back For Paperwork Not Being Cle We have also been told that if coming into the United States and your paperwork has not cleared you will be sent back to the customer not the broker by the customs official.

I also do not think you can go very far on FDR drive as there are low bridges.

Wow that is nice. Good Job. Hey Cheri maybe he can get them to blink all through December.

Cash is king philosophy is what works in any lifestyle. Leo is right after you have paid your bills the extra now goes in to the Linda and Bob savings account. We love the lifestyle and we will do everything we can to make this work for us. We where both from County government jobs and at...

We have been on Dave's plan a long time before we even knew about Dave. You want to talk about stress relief? follow his plan get rid of the bills and everyday does start brighter. You can make better decisions when you do not have debt hanging over your head.

Express Centers are not a physical location. FedEx has express centers based on load projections and past history with in the area. You will have these express centers sent to you as layover options and it is your responsibility to find a place to park. FedEx also would like you to stay...

On our type of trucks India they are just used on the drive axles. If you get a load going out west most truck stops carry them. It would also be a good idea to read the bad and get a general idea of how to put them on. We learned the hard way, while it was snowing very hard I read the bag...
