    What is the FedEx CC Load Board?

    I'm not with FedEx but I do like ice in my Kool-Aid. I'm deciding to go with either a freezer or an ice maker. Which device would give me the highest ROI?

    Backing Made Easy

    While watching this video for the first time I thought the pedestrians were professional actors going through their motions backwards. Likewise for the other vehicles, that they were also going backwards and the VW and trailer were going forward. When edited and reversed, the VW and trailer...

    Judging height

    When I was on the road I would set my CB antenna slightly higher than my height. When slowly approaching a low clearance the antenna would hit first. This method didn't work so well when backing into inside docks where the door didn't open completely or with snow/ice buildup on the ground...

    is the any money doing this

    I don't understand why claiming a home office would be a red flag. The deduction is minuscule unless you are claiming your entire home as your office. I have been deducting office space for 18 years and never been audited.

    I don't know. I probably have never claimed 28 days a month for per diem, at least not with any regularity.

    Did you get a load out of Neillsville? I have snagged loads from there several times over the years. Two places come to mind, located on the east side of town in that industry park.

    What is the FedEx CC Load Board?

    Exactly! Could work for teams but how does a solo driver monitor a load board still get the necessary rest? I like the idea of picking and choosing from available loads but if one wanted to watch a load board all day, why not go it alone and eliminate the carrier.

    is the any money doing this

    It helps to consult a tax accountant to verify all that is tax deductible. I have a dedicated office space at home. The square footage, as a percent of the total square footage of the house, is used to calculate utility usage, which can be deducted.

    South Dakota might shelve spring forward and fall back

    Sick of switching clocks twice a year? That's quite the burden. They will expend more time and energy working on this legislation than if they all lived to be 150 years old and setting clocks twice a year.

    Earlier this morning I spent 2½ hours with another driver at an ABF terminal waiting for Panther to fax verification paperwork that would allow us to swap freight. It's 2016 and they're messing around with fax machines. I really shouldn't complain as this is an improvement over using Western...

    Cargo Van Cargo Van Capacity: 2 pallets vs 3 pallets

    I was replying to your questions in post 15. Like Treadmill said: "It depends on what carrer you are with." If you sign a contract that states a higher pay rate for freight over 4' high and 8' long, then you get the higher rate. If your contract has no stipulation for "Sprinter size"...
