    Rebranding, not so uniform

    There are no more C D B signs. The signs are made to fit the size of the box or the van.

    Fedex Flagship from MATS finally hits the road

    I am sure you guys will enjoy the ride, the quietness, and the roominess of not only the cab but the sleeper. The truck and sleeper combination is really amazing. We put our pusher axle down at about 2000-lbs of freight which does not happen often. We are a dry box and that make a big...

    A Re-Branding Question

    I did a little research today and this is the information I received: To be branded and receive the incentive, vehicles must be all white (cab, sleeper and box) with no other markings on the vehicle. Vehicles with cabs or boxes any other color than white will not receive the branding package...

    A quick "tech" related question

    I agree with Turtle.... We have had the same printer/scanner in the truck for over seven years with no problems. We do not send or receive faxes we get or send emails. We have saved ourselves many miles with our ability to print what we need in the truck. We have had customers say they would...

    Things You Need to Ask

    A great way to ask the questions, to talk to other drivers, and talk to truck dealers is to attend the Expedite Expo. The Expo is crawling with drivers for fleet owners, O/O, recruiters for most of the Expedite Companies. Come prepared to ask a lot of questions and take notes. Attend the...

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    Watch trucks that go by and notice what how their mud flaps are behaving... Many people put anti sail holders on the mud flaps which is another indication of how much air they are catching. Either trim them up to match the width of the tires or change them... Start looking when a truck or...

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    There are many trucking companies going to the AirTabs and I am constantly surprised when I see them on company trucks. The latests one I have seen are on Long Haul Trucking trucks and some I have started seeing are on tankers.

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    Anything that flaps in the wind or blocks the wind affects fuel mileage. One of the first things we put on our new truck was AirTabs as they work.

    Tornadoes in Texas

    The trailer belongs to Becky and Alan who live in Texas and had dropped their trailer off at Great Dane. They were not in Dallas when the tornadoes went through and they are OK. They are still waiting to hear if there is anything left of their reefer trailer.

    Like coffee? Mr Coffee/Keurig

    Our oldest daughter detests the taste of coffee and insists the taste stays in cups and travel mugs. She uses the Keurig at home to make tea and cider and says it tastes fine. That surprised me. I agree if you drink much coffee the Keurig would not be for you, for those of us that are a one...

    Like coffee? Mr Coffee/Keurig

    I like my Keurig at home and added the travel size to the truck. Bob does not drink coffee and the one K-Cup is the perfect size for my travel mug. I like how fast the Keurig makes coffee compared to my Mr. Coffee. I also debated over the price of the K-Cups until I went in one day for a cup...
