I have purchased the Neat Recipe scanner and it is at home waiting for me. I am interested in what all the software will do. I was also told I would be able to scan business cards and find them much easier than I can now.

I have been using the small craftsman shop vac for ten years and that thing still works like a charm. Our first truck had carpet and this worked well and this truck had a wood floor and it still works well. We have our dog Molly and the shop vac does a good job of getting her hair sucked up...

All above are good points but I would caution against getting the class A unless going into a T/T. If you have to go to school to get the class A the money will be wasted if you do not use it. It is my understanding that if you do not drive T/T in two years you will have to go to school once...

Happy Birthday Lawrence and Happy Birthday to Debbie yesterday! Hope you guys were able to do something special for two days!

I could care less how many miles we drive a week. The less miles we drive a week and the more money we make is the perfect scenario. Less miles equals less wear and tear on the truck, more money equals a happy checking/ saving account. I know I get funny looks when people ask me how many...

I am hearing the same thing you are Phil with a mandatory rest break during our driving shift. I have not heard how long the break will be.

Nope none running which is to bad. I know that one of the guys running has been to two expos and has a tendency to hang out with Expediter at the Louisville truck show.

I am bumping this back up to the top as a reminder if you have not voting in the OOIDA elections you still have time. If not a member join read the bios or listen to Landline and vote. Last year less then 1 % of the members voted this year lets change that.

I thought about getting Molly FCC approved, but I do not think she will pass the age test. She turned 15 in November and she is showing her age a little. She has become fond of her naps and for some reason I do not think work is in her vocabulary! She is accustomed to the life of luxury and...

ATA has their thoughts on what the new HOS rules are going to look like and they are getting prepared to fight back. I wonder if some of these rules come about what it will do to team hours and also how it will affect the secure loads. ATA Rings Alarm Bell on Pending Hours of Service...

Thanks Rabbit and what you say has a lot of merit. The only draw back I see would be cost as I would not see the need to have two IPads in the truck. If I was to pick it would be one Ipad and one Kindle to cover all bases!

Merry Christmas Rodney Sindy and happy first year of Expediting! Looking forward to another great year in 2011.

There are tons of movies I enjoy at Christmas and I thought of another one I like in many different formats and that is A Christmas Carol. One of my favorites is the animated Disney version and there are a few black and white versions I like also. Christmas is a feel good time to me and I...

Bob has had the IPAD now for a few months. He prefers Podcasts and he listens to them while driving. Bob is still enamored by his IPAD and I am still amazed that he took to it like a duck to water. He was constantly at war with my computer and drove me nuts every time he used it as he fought...

It's a wonderful Life I like all of the old ones

What I need is what I get when I accept a load. There are many facets that go into accepting a load and it is not black and white. One day what is cheap freight can become OK freight the next day. I do not tell my carrier when they offer me a load way above what I need per mile they are...
