I use the mileage basically as a check number in my Quicken so that if I did need to find it I can. After I get the receipt I add what the actual cost of the fuel was after the discount. How much the fuel discount was How much the fuel cost per gallon I have never tracked fuel by the load...

Got the update today and scanned in the load information. Thanks Roamin for sharing the info. We had a Truck Ordered Not Used (TONU) and we did not have a freight bill number ... We were told to use the waybill number in both spaces today.

The survey was done in April and we have the answers we needed! Drivers would appreciate having the chance to get a mammogram at a truck show. It looks like we will have one at the Great America Truck Show in August.

December 13th 2014 9 a.m. Eastern If you have not tuned into the Rolling Strong Saturday Health and Wellness call why not??? If you haven't then this could be a fun Saturday to do so.. Road Tested Living founder Tom Kyrk who is also a Rolling Strong Ambassador will be providing his top 10...

Over the years we have heard many good things about BCO Days but never being there we are wondering is it really worth our time? We know it is two and 1/2 days and that is a long time out of the income stream. Can anyone that has been to BCO days help us out here on what to expect and how to...

This is what we are looking at getting: Microsoft - Surface 2 - 32GB - Magnesium

I have not done the update yet... Sounds like I better get after it.

Sure glad we kept our Windows based computer since very little of Landstar's applications are compatible with a MAC. On our Christmas list is getting a small windows based tablet that will be easier to use then getting out the big clunky windows machine.

This is how I see is. There is becoming a REAL driver shortage so instead of increasing pay and pay per mile lets let the current drivers work longer hours to make up for the shortages. Another proposal I read for CR England is to let trainees start driving team on a CDL Permit. The key word...

Golfournut do you send a picture of your van and yourself?

When entering the information on the fuel pump when it asks for trailer number we enter the odometer reading. This becomes my "check" number in Quicken for easy reference

Since we are know for always trying to get better fuel mileage here is a tip: Use a fuel book that sits in a cubby hole on the dash or in the door. This book started out for us as a way to keep track of how much fuel money we had loaded on our fuel card and in time it evolved to be much...

From the newsletter "Landstar Safety News" today is the day we can register for BCO days. January 22nd - 23rd - 24th and we were told to ask for the Holiday Inn at Windsor. When I called in I asked to come in a day early on us and that was not a problem. She also said there was plenty room...

Just checked with logging and DVIR can be scanned and this needs to be done once every 7 days. Three DVIRS per page is not a problem.

Macro 50 does not work for Express Trucks at this time to send in our DVIR Do you email your DVIR in or send them by mail? How often do you send them in? We have some friends that put theirs in an envelope and then send it is every once in while. We decided we would prefer to scan ours in...

Great Points Roamin as we have been asking if the load will fit on a straight truck and we have had mixed results. Another thing we look at is the line pay and make the deduction for what our percentage of the load will be before we make the call. We are getting rather quick at this.

Voted for both of you!

Keep reading and asking questions as that is how you will learn and make the best decision for you.

We were not doing the macros right and that was affecting the messages. When we do the macro we have arrived if I understand it right when we do the macro that tells al the agents that we are under a load and where we will deliver. Once we do the macro that we have unloaded that puts us back...

Good Information and we learned that if we would use the macros right this would all work. We keep forgetting to use the macro's correctly so that is our fault. I do like the emails and boy are there a lot to look at. We call many of them to see if what they have is small enough in...
