I took everything but the kitchen sink when we first went out. I had stuff packed in every corner possible. I felt like we where going into the great unknown and I would not be able to buy anything on the road. We had an upper bunk in that truck and I bought two small chest of drawers and Bob...

We are also empty nesters! One of the great thing for us is we do get to see our kids more often then I believe we would if we had kept our old 9 to 5 jobs. The thing that you and they have to understand is you usually drop in with very little notice so everyone has to be flexible. We...

Dale, Good idea and maybe just the motivation we need! If you get any interest we are for it or if you don't we can do it ourselves. I would also like to include a walking goal in that also. I know that when we are running hard we don't exercise at all but when we are waiting for a load I am...

Canadian Trans Border Fee 58.00 this is your pay for a Canadian load included in the load offer.

Detention pay starts for most customers after 3 hours. The 3 hours includes the shipper and the consignee unload and load time. The clock also does not start until your appointment time not when you arrive. Layover Pay not sure what you mean by that. You are paid to go to the choices FedEx...

With FedEx CC it seems as of that is when they love to offer you a load while in the shower. If we have not had a load offer we go take a shower knowing a load will offered in the next few minutes. Usually works. It also appears that most loads that are offered while in the shower are really...

If there was a way to have a shotgun on the truck Bob and I would be have two in a heartbeat! We both love to trap shoot and every time we drive by a range we wish there was a way to be able to have one of our old past times back.

Found a great way to make omelets that is great for home or on the truck. You can also make several at a time so you can all eat together. You use Ziploc freezer bags and if there are many people have each person write their name on the bag. Then drop two eggs or however many you like into...

We are also thankful for our troops! You hear a lot of negative on our young people but a lot of them sure stepped up to the plate when the time came. I have to agree with Jack 9/11 has to be the worst thing that has happened in our life time but the bombing in Oklahoma City was also a...

Thanks for the update on FedEx Rich. You have renewed our faith in FedEx!! You deserve a lot of recognition for everything you have done over the years and I know they are going to miss you!!

I really noticed last year that there was a huge difference in drivers speed on roads that had snow on them. Some still ran way beyond the speed limit and others where well below the speed limit. When would it be best to put your flashers on? My stress on those roads is really high as first I...

I have started noticing a chill in the air which reminds me winter is just around the corner. When winter starts getting close I really start watching the weather and we will refuse loads going into a area a storm is heading. I also when driving at night and weather is unstable watch the...

marvinkwagner What is it you drive? Not sure we recognize your name and seeing you at the 4-star. Going to have to disagree on one of your comments. There where several first year drivers at the awards as where there many drivers that have been at the awards several times. First, you do NOT...

We are going to have to agree with the positive posts on FCC. When we do need help from a customer FedEx has always set up a conference call. We also feel that we work with FedEx we do not want our own authority so we leave all the problems to FedEx. We do not feel micro managed and always...

We have compared our income to last years and we are doing better then last year. Our finances are in great shape we are still paying down our debt, still on track. We have a plan and have not had to slow down at all to reach our goals. We will still pay our truck off early, still investing...

Someday when we get to go home we will get to see ours!! Sounds like they are nice.

Hey Zak & Holly, sounds like you guys had a good time and saw lots! I know how overwhelming our first truck show was so we can just imagine how you felt. Good for you for taking the time to go and also to learn as much as you can!

Exp10yrs Bob has also been working on a design somewhat similar to your bunk design. You could have the two bunks stacked behind the drivers side and then also have the slideout on the bottom so a husband and wife could sleep together. From his designs it appears as if we will have a lot...

Our 25th wedding anniversary. Neither one of our girls are married and all of us went to Vegas for a week. We do not gamble just spent the week seeing free stuff and seeing a few shows. It was a great relaxing time spent with the people we love the most.

targuard86 The level one inspection will only work if you are due for an inspection. If you get get the Level 1 one month early you will still have to get an inspection the next month. :-(
