    Good Advise for All!

    We had that happen to us in Portland Oregon. Trailer was leaking so we called into dispatch and a HazMat team was sent out. They isolated the trailer as it was some serious stuff and considered shutting down I5. After the team opened the trailer and determined it was not going to burst into...

    Good nail polish fix

    We just heard about a great use for clear nail polish. If you have a crack in your windshield and cannot get to a repair shop, take the nail polish and coat the crack end to end. In most case this should stop the crack from getting worse.

    Making a home in a box

    I have used the space bags and love them. The problem I had was when I only wanted a certain size I could not get it. I would like to get the large ones for several things and do not want all of the little sizes. We do not like to take our coats out of the truck but they take up a lot of room...

    Keeping an open eye on the road!!!

    We use a wireless headset at night so we can listen to XM or a little portable CD player. Sure helps when you are getting a little drowsy and you can turn to a good Rock station and turn up the volume a little. We are still fighting not waking up everytime the truck pulls into a weigh station...

    Backing into Docks

    I agree with you on Thank God I am not the only one. I can only admire women and men that do this solo. With both of us watching we end up going the wrong way or missing a customer. When we get into a bind and have to back out we have another person watching for us. When we have just had...

    Tell Me Why

    Todd, Coco is 100% right do not use the new towels!! My gosh that could get you in a world of trouble. Consider the towels a decoration and you would never wipe your hands on a decoration. Also if there is a very nice soap in the dish do NOT use that either. That would also be considered...

    GPS

    Everything Doc Rushing said!!! We have found the Lowrance to be one of the best purchases we have made. We had the GPS antenna attached to the computer but did not have a good enough stand to hold the computer so it flopped around to much. It was a good system though but not nearly as easy to...

    CDL License

    What would happen if you kept a mailbox in the previous state and had your mail then sent to your new address? When we moved from Kansas where we had just renewed our licenses to Missouri we got our new license and had to take the test and pay all of the fees once again. That can get expensive.

    Inward Cargo Manifest and Inventory

    Yes that is what I am talking about. Coming to the states empty with only your personal items in the back. You need to list everything you have back there in case customs wants to check that you are empty. Save yourself a lot of hassle when you are not really empty because you have your...

    (FEDEX DRIVERS ARE YOU KEEPING BUSY & Happy)

    When we are considering accepting a load to an area that is not very populated we will ask about which service center we will be sent to. With fuel prices the way they are right now you really need to know that so after you deliver you can also cover the dead head miles to the service center...

    (FEDEX DRIVERS ARE YOU KEEPING BUSY & Happy)

    garman351 I do not know if you are a team or not? If you are a solo I believe you can do ok in the NE. We are a team and really love the way we are treated by FedEx. You do have your busy times and your down times and need to be prepared. We stay pretty busy and are sure happy with where we...

    Atkins Diet

    Wow thanks for your reply!! You are an inspiration. Did you find time to walk every day? I did forget to mention the multi vitamin and that is an important part of this diet. One of the problems with this diet is that it becomes boring. How did you keep yourself motivated to stay on the...

    Inward Cargo Manifest and Inventory

    We have filled out our first ICM coming out of Canada with our work related items in the cargo box. We must have done it right because we are in the United States now. Taking the time to fill out that form and actually write down everything in the cargo box made us think of all of our personal...

    The Shipping Office/Loading Dock

    We still have not figured out a good answer for when people ask us local directions. They just cant figure out why we give then a blank look and say we are not from the area.
