Ask lots of questions and as you have learned all ready keep reading. One day after you start driving someone will ask a question and a light bulb will go and you say wow I can answer that question! You could drive out here all your life and newbie can teach you something. That is part of...

Wow that needs to be parked and become a home. Little over kill there.

I believe there is a conspiracy to wake up sleeping drivers by trashman. If we are with in a mile of a trash can I am always amazed at the amount of noise the drivers can make shaking those things. I have watched them do this in the day light and I don't believe they have the zeal that they do...

Terry's Van with Air Tabs

View with pusher axle:

On June 4th we added super singles to the truck. We put on Michelin X1 XDAHT+ 445 50 R22.5 drive lug tread. They come with aluminum wheels and we believe we lost about 250 pounds. We would like to run about 10,000 miles before we can post what has happened with our fuel mileage. The truck...

It would really be nice if you could post a picture so we could see exactly how you applied the AirTabs. Very interesting on how the AirTabs inceased the fuel milage on a van.

Charlotte what you say is very true and no you sure don't sugar coat much! Some can handle that and some cannot. Your advice is great, learn all you can about your carrier and how to make the best of the best every day. With our great jobs we are in control of our own business and it is up...

I have to admit that Bob taught me to back and to drive but I dont think he realized that I really was paying attention!! Terry, Bob agrees with you 100% LOL

Thanks!! We had a really good time at the Skills Challenge. We really appreciate all the work the FedEx employees went to, to make this a very special and fun day for all. The vendors where great with lots of door prices and we really appreciate them. We had fun meeting many new people and...

We had that exact same thing happen in Canada almost! We where in a residential type area in Toronto and Bob stopped at a little repair shop and some Indian looking guys in broken English told him where to go and how hard the plant was to find. They suggested he stop at the BMW dealer and get...

I bet your area is really beautiful right now! Wish we could also stop by but not nearly close enough to that area. Thanks for issuing the invite!

RE: Stuck in Seville, Cleveland, Akron area for Me That is a great offer and I bet you guys have a great time. We are also not going to be in the area but I sure wish we were.

With a sense of humor and a GPS what else do we need? Good job India!! Royal Flush you might have your GPS but you sure have lost your sense of humor!!

If your husband gets bored send him outside to clean! We had a "Weekend Load" one where our box was sealed so Bob could not get to his ladder so he did this to entertain himself. I sure was able to get a lot cleaned in side the truck.

Another reason we do not have our CB on!!

Terry, I believe you found all of this info in the high school drivers education manual! I have to agree though driving in the New Jersey area is sometimes like being on another planet.

DaveKC you are a little different then the normal Panther owner as you actively look for freight for your trucks outside of Panther. I will clarify what I was trying to say. We often have loads as Jack says we pick up on Friday and deliver on Monday. We are also often pre dispatched on Sunday...

Since we started reading EO and learning we expected to be sitting on the weekends. With FedEx when we get a weekend load we just consider the load a nice bonus! We use the weekends to clean the truck inside and out. Get laundry done, watch movies and get ready for another busy week.

Thanks India for posting this. I have never had to use a fire extinguisher and really had no clue. Lots of good tips.
