This comment was taken out of the Transport Topics September 30th issue. Both Bob and I thought the comment was a very good one: In times like these when the economy and budgets are tight, often one of the first steps toward cutting costs is reducing or eliminating equipment-washing...

The normal policy on DoD loads is to not change your pay due to HazMat reroute. With a surface HazMat load we have always had our pay adjusted.

TNT I think you hit on the key, Jeff always was interested when he called on what you were doing, how you were doing, where you were at in the country and what you had to say. I also really enjoyed hearing his cheery voice on the phone.

I seem to be stuck on directions this week. Another change I would like to see is the HazMat reroute ran before the load is offered out. It is very frustrating to have the new route emailed to you and find out that the loaded miles has increased significantly. It is very hard to make a sound...

I do not know the reason all loads are not confirmed but I have to wonder if one of the reasons is the agent questions if the load will get covered our not.

We have Sprint, AT & T, and Verizon and I really believe that the AT&T has the worst service of them all. Verizon and Sprint really seem to be about the same. I have a Sprint Aircard and I have been really happy with it.

I picked up the new Expedite Now Magazine this morning and this got me to thinking of how much I miss Jeff. He often had some really great get to know a driver articles that were very interesting. Jeff also had interesting article where he talked to many drivers about their opinions of a...

I think who has it tougher is a matter of attitude on how you look at what you are doing and how you are doing it. Some people think not being home every night or weekend is close to the end of the world no matter what you are driving. I feel we have it the easiest as we have a truck that...

That is a really good one!

How many of you have seen one of the new magazines out there called Drivers Health? We picked one up a couple months ago and were impressed with the articles about drivers and their particular health issues. The magazine this month will have an interview with the women who is an Ice Road...

Here is the site: United States Road Conditions There is also a Trucker area with the chain laws and if you have to run chains are not. I thought the site was relatively easy to use.

We have Sturdy Lite boxes that we have had on this truck almost 5 years that have never leaked. They will be going with us to our next truck as they were a very good investment.

FCC might have your fuel taxes set at 10.28 but the FSC is paid on 9 mpg. There appears to be a huge glut of used trucks or repo's on the market right now. If you can pick up a class 7 for a song and you do the preliminary steps to make sure you are buying a sound truck for it. If the truck...

If you do not listen to Kevin Rutherford on XM you might want to start as he talks a lot about fuel economy. He is on the weekends and at midnight each night XM 171. He also spends a lot of time talking about aerodynamics and what effects your fuel mileage such as a moose catcher, your...

One item I would like to see changed is when the directions to the customer are taken from internet that the person who enters the directions would make a notation that they are from the internet.

Lets figure out what time is best to get the Safety Messages
