    Express pasta cooker

    We bought an electric rice cooker and have been amazed at all of the different things it can be used beside that fact it makes great pasta. I am now on the hunt for a miniature electric skillet that will serve two. Have you tried anything yet with a BBQ grill? DaveKC suggested one this last...

    PrePass

    We have PrePass and have a question. When you are in a state and they have the signs that say "truck is ok to by-pass scale" and your PrePass gives you a red light which has precedence?

    Spec' ing Trucks

    One more thing to add to the list is insulation!! We don't have it and sure wish we did. You cannot run without a generator. We are also in the process of getting our transmission changed from a 5 speed to a 6 speed. Hope that gets us better fuel mileage. On the 120 gallon dual tanks you...

    A mile is a mile

    We met a great couple that helped us in this area. When we deliver the load it is over. The deadhead miles from consignee to the express center will go on the next load. We do look to see where the load is delivering and decided from that point if we think we can make enough money to get us...

    stupid dispatched deadhead runs

    I sure agree with you x06col if someone would of told us about some of the things we do now I would have laughed! Now it is common. We have done empty moves to put us in a better location for load. Usually our company sends us a C-Link asking if we are willing to move and sets a price. Then...

    Idling Is Soooo Over!

    We know of people who did this on purpose just to see if they can pick a fight. They are usually not in their right mind and you knocking on their door in something they dont even consider a truck is just asking for problems. My suggestion is to move or use ear plugs. You hear of to many...

    fdcc

    We are a team with FedEx and I know it is different for us. The one thing that we can talk about is the dispatchers and other personnel at FedEx. Bob drove for US Xpress for several years and I rode with him. When you work for a company like that where each dispatcher has over 100 trucks to...

    Hood crack

    Hi Rich this is from Linda: Buy a new hood or a new truck it would be a lot easier. This is from Bob: If the crack is caused by stress take it to a professional because it will crack again at the same point. Where he was a mechanic before they tried to repair several hoods and never had any...

    OK CREDIT

    Reserves are very important to have not only for breakdowns but for the slow times of the year. When you are sitting one of the things you do not have to worry about it how are you going to make that next payment. You cannot spend every penny you make. Try getting your savings built up before...
