Linda, we grew up in Orlando. Maybe Panther wants us to move back? LOL Got a hold of a few brokers last night, but nothing is moving until Monday and by Monday we'd have a better chance at expedite. We are wrestling with the idea of just heading home. Decisions decisions :cool:

Yep, a post turtle he is! Thanks for the laugh :D

We may be at the J in Tampa

I decided to do a little digging...I think I found my hubby's first post on EO. Reading it now, makes me laugh. I remember not knowing a thing about expediting, and this post sure shows it! :D

If you are driving for a fleet owner, you'd be an independent contractor. Responsible for your own taxes, insurance, etc. Yes % usually 60/40 if the driver is paying for fuel, 40/60 if the owner is paying the fuel Depends on the owners contract with the carrier to many variables I don't want...

Luvtheroad, If you're looking at expediting, it's not the "miles per week" that matters. Expediters work smarter not harder when it comes to hauling freight. You could run your butt off and not make as much as the guy that picks and chooses which runs to haul. It's about the rate not the miles

The "power" seems to be running on low battery or something this week. We did get a paid move to Tampa, but...so far nothing. Like I said before, we've always had good luck getting back out of FL, I guess it's our turn to sit.

Gotta love ya Turtle!! :D I'm going to keep this window open in hopes that dispatch get's the hint. Need all the help we can get, 2 more trucks have arrived.

Until now, we've never had a problem getting out of FL. Did I mention we're STILL in FL? The weather has been great, but it's warming back up. I wonder if a dispatch dance would help our cause? Might have to start calling the relatives to see if they need anything delivered. LOL

<~~~Mod sneakin in the door... I don't know who moved it, I thought it was funny. I agree, when a thread is moved there should be a reason given, but please remember that Mod's are human too. Mistakes are made, and sometimes the Mod might actually be running freight. Turtle... the PGA is...

We use motorkote in our generator and it runs much quieter

Linda, I'm not sure how you can combine files that you've set up on different maps. I'd never used the template setting in Streets and Trips until we bought this. I've added and deleted so much to this original file that it's personalized now. http://www.truckstopsplus.com/ If you put all...

Shooter thanks for the information. It's nice to have details on places that are new to us. We talked to security tonight, there is no problem parking here but they will take down your license plate number. They have, in the past, had drivers leave their trucks for weeks and they can't have...

Our prayers go out to the family. :(

Duh, I didn't think about it until now. Here's a couple of pictures of the casino that I took this morning. :o

Col, if you're talking about the Casino it's now a resort, so it's huge. There is plenty of room to move around now. If you mean the truck stop, you're right. It's small, and there isn't much moving around room.

If you find yourself stuck in the Miami area, the Miccosukee Resort and Casino has truck parking in the back of the lot. The casino is located at the corner of US-41 and FL-997. We tried the buffet yesterday, the price was about 8.00 including drink and it was wonderful! The people have been...

We had cattle dogs when I was a kid. They are such intelligent dogs and protective of family. This is a great story!

We've discovered by tracking our fuel mileage that we get better fuel mileage at 62. 60 feels slow and 65 feels fast. We don't get run over, and we don't run up on others that way. Makes for a more relaxing ride.
