Or the carrier looks at the truck as "they will take anything" and continue to offer the lower paying loads to them. Bottom line, what does it cost you to run your truck? If the load pays enough, take it, if it doesn't, pass on it.

Hey Jammin...does that mean you're acquiring a new part-time job? ;)

Trucking Duck :D

Cheri, we ordered ours online. Kinedyne Cargo Control Equipment, Cargo Straps, Shoring Beams, Auto tie downs, Jack Bars, E-Track

We were in ND during the -30 temps. We put in almost 100 gallons of winterized diesel in addition to Howes. We didn't gel, but it was trying really hard. We saw quite a few trucks sitting along the side of the road, so I assume that were not so lucky.

Logistic Sleeves?

Hummmm.....now if they were to invent warm clothes that could be turned into cold clothes without removing or adding layers, those of us with those NASTY "power surges" would be in heaven! :D Oh yeah....and so would our hubby's when we roll the dang windows down in subzero temps. :eek:

Thanks Hawk! I mapped it out, and your route is 2 miles shorter than the normal route we take.

Exactly! For those of us that run for an owner we also have to think about him/her. We have set up a spreadsheet that shows fixed truck expenses, our pay, etc. When a load offer comes across we plug the numbers into the spreadsheet before we accept the run. The numbers don't lie. There is no...

Your on scene reporter here......We delivered to Devils Lake, ND this morning. HOLY COW! I've never been so cold in my life! Despite winter fuel, and anti-gel additives, I think we were beginning to gel up. Luckily for us the temperature didn't dip any lower. We've decided (ME) that ND is no...

It certainly gives you something to think about. If you only listen to part of it, the full message will not come through. Thanks for posting this.

Linda, we've started calling the base that we are delivering to and asking for the address of the commercial gate. That way we can put it in the mapping program and find it.

I've had that thought many times! What also drives me crazy is when the shipper or receiver gets irritated because you don't know "their" procedures. "You're suppose to park on the street" "You check with Connie first, then you come over here" "All the straight trucks back into door 3 then...

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone :D There isn't a song listed in this thread that I don't like.

This looks like Amway for phones

Well...since today is my birthday :D The Twist by Chubby Checker

Wow! Over 3 years to get this money back? Is this normal?

There's a sign in front of the Flying J at Oak Creek, WI that says "12 hour parking limit". It's as you enter the truck side by the fuel islands

I love the smell of Prell shampoo!!! Attention Walmart shoppers be on the look out for the strange expediter "sniffing the Dpwney Wrinkle Release" :D

Since Dec 22 we've had 4 loads and 1 was a dry run. Of course we are no where near home :(
