Thou shall stay positive and make the best out of every day. Thou shall treat others including dispatchers and you would like to be treated.

Lawrence has said it all. Good attitude even when life gives you a few swift kicks, everything cannot be rosy, Always keep your goal in mind and everything else falls into place. Keep yourself informed as much as possible on everything about our jobs. EO is a great place to start learning...

That is a good idea Dreamer. Last year we bought 100.00 worth of 2.00 bills and handed them out at Christmas time. We also feel someone has to go above and beyond their duty before we will give a tip. We have been thanked at several places we have unloaded at and it sure makes you feel good...

We will see what happens. The insurance card and number the driver gave us no longer carries that company. The phone number he gave us goes un answered. We did not call the police as it was on private property and thought that was the correct procedure. We did immediately call dispatch and...

TeamBud8 We make the choice to wear our uniform. We have found when we walk into a customer, the customer usually know exactly what we are there to pick up. We are treated as professionally as we look. So we take pride in our uniforms and the other personal reason is they are easy to wash and...

In most situations you have described if we feel they have gone above and beyond their duties. We feel if we get exceptional service we should should reward them.

We had a big truck back into our sleeper door while at the Flying J in Laredo TX. We thought we where lucky as the guy gave us all of his information including insurance. We thought no problem we will contact insurance and all is well. Wrong! The insurance company does not carry them anymore...

That is good to know. Since we only have the free version we cannot do that. Our thoughts where if you receive the fax you can do what you need to it and then email it to the correct person or if you need to you can just print it sign and send it of using mail.

We also find it very frustrating when you move over for another vehicle and they will not let you back into the granny lane. We are usually running slower then most and when we move over to let a truck on in a short period of time we will have a several trucks behind us all because the one...

You can only receive faxes not send them using efax.

Jeff really has hit on a sore spot with us. We are not White Glove but we always where our FEDEX Custom Critical uniform to pickup or deliver a load. We feel the amount of respect we receive when we walk into a shipper is worth the effort. We try to keep our truck looking nice also which...

We have done some research on the super single tires and it does not look as if they are legal on a straight truck unless you have some sort of stabilizer. Hoping at the truck show in March to do some more research on this.

RE: I just saw in the Exp Mag a page with Owners T That truck really is a nice truck. We have also followed the path you did with buying a new truck. We felt as new owners we needed the warranty and also peace of mind that our truck should not have many problems. Now with more miles under...

There has been lots posted in this forum on safety while driving and night and other areas of concern. My suggestion is while at orientation you take a "truck notebook" that you take lots of notes in. Also get names and phone numbers of people that can help you at the company you are going...

What I find is funny is the spouse gets a jab in the ribs to roll over and quit snoring and the dog gets a pat and a smile! When she even looks like she has been a good dog she gets a treat. First thing in the morning Molly is awoke by having someone give her a good rub. When she gets in bed...

We had a different experience with Jon Mosier as first time truck buyers. We found that Middle Georgia worked with us the best. First time truck buyers have a little rougher time I believe whit the dealers as you are not sure what you are doing. We found most dealers didn't really want to give...

Our problem with getting a fax is we do not receive them regularly. We can go two months without getting them and then only get two the next month. I just do not like paying 3.00 in the truck stop. If you only receive one fax a month then it has been the cheapest way was to stop at a truck...

I have found that you cannot have a normal conversation with professional drivers! When we all get together we tend to consider all of the United States and Canada our back yard. I think we all have fun talking about different areas of the country and comparing notes of what we have seen are...

Nice post Terry and said very well if I could I would give you two points. We have such a hard time when people ask what is the best carrier? We like where are at but know others that do not like this [font color = "purple"]company[/font color] have moved on and love where they are at now...

Coco that is funny as our oldest daughter Nicki is forever saying that dang dog has been more places then I will probably ever go. Just to be mean I send her pictures of Molly on the beach, seeing the Redwood forest, attending a festival, playing in snow, meeting new people and various other...
