That is always awesome when that happens! I hate it when we get ourselves our there and have to dead head back east. We have had to do this more then once when we cut it to close to a dead line.

If you are trying to get back east Ontario is usually the best for us to get a load going East. If we were going to move it would be to Phoenix as we get loads out of there going East also. You might have to turn down some going back west.

I agree it is very frustrating to be dispatched on a load at last minute knowing that the load had actually been booked much earlier. The other side of the coin is that we are offered loads for Monday and then while under that load and sitting we cannot haul a short load during the weekend...

Good luck as a solo. Do your research on what company will fit you best and get you the loads you need.

We have several loads also and we have had no problems at all. Very seldom do we delete old load information on the the new QC or the old QC.

We have been reading up on Vitamin D and not getting enough. We had our DOT physicals last time we were home. We always have blood work done at DOT time as we avoid the doctors as much as possible. I have been learning about the affects of not having enough Vitamin D in your system and I had...

I bet I could get Bob to wear his suit and I could wear one of my dresses one day of the show. I actually own two dresses now..

Done deal good idea! With out your reminder I would have forgotten once again.

When registering for the Expedite Expo put your screen name on company line! It is always fun to put a face to the screen name. Come join us at the Expo and meet many of the posters.

The company line is how I believe you said you did it last year! That worked out really slick and I hope everyone with a screen name remembers to do this.

As we get new customers they will not come with local directions. The new QC loads these into the GPS under dispatch and then MOST of the time gives you the route to the customer. As always a GPS is an aid and the route in not written in stone. Use every tool you have at your disposal to...

You have a good point there Moose!

I think it is becoming an epidemic with people not being able to read the sign "merge" onto highway. When coming through Phoenix this morning more then one person had to figure out either speed up or slow down as I was holding my own and I could not move over. Jeannie I have to say the guy is...

You can slant information anyway you want here is this on how well FedEx is doing with customer satisfaction: FedEx Ranks Number One in Customer Satisfaction Among Express Delivery Companies For 13th Consecutive Year FedEx Also Ranks Tops Among Transportation, Accommodation and Food Service...

I like the fact we can get our of almost any part of the country with FCC. There are times when it seems as if every truck that is leased to FCC is in a certain part of the country, but that can be hit and miss. I like that when we accept a load for a certain pay the only change we will ever...

We run 120 psi in the wide base singles and 100 in the XZA3 front tires.

I believe I mentioned we were looking for Bob a computer! Guess what he has an IPAD and his own screen name now but he not as addicted to this as I am yet but who knows in the future...

Exactly! Which is why we wanted Michelin wide base singles back on this truck. The stability of our past tires were great. Will the stability be just as good on these new lower rolling resistant tires be as good? Who knows but from our past experience with our tires we are willing to give it...
