    Ice on Roof solution?

    Found this little tidbit in the MATS truck show catalog and of course it was after the show was over. http://heatmattproducts.com/ Has anyone see or heard of this product? The laws are getting more intense on this issue as well as the fines and penalties if you are accused of ice coming off...

    Things we thought everyone knew

    Bob uses rubber gloves when polishing the truck but I never thought to try them on the upholstery I am going to give that a try today. Very interesting.

    Shocking Update

    We had that happen once at Middle Georgia and our next call was to Heath Woods one of the owners. It has not happened since. As for the NAPA deal I will have Bob give Frank a call and see if Bob can do some more digging around.

    New Scam!!

    I agree Greg in no way did we ever feel threatened by this guy nor did we in the way he approached the truck. If we had been to afraid to talk to him we would have missed out on a lot of history of that part of the city. He was a professional at his job and he was good at it. He gave...

    extra long deadhead

    How have they changed dead head we have seen nothing different? The fsc has gone down along with the price of fuel so our fsc on our deadhead miles has really went down. That is not a FCC thing that is driven by the national fuel price average.

    What's going on?!?

    This is something that drives me nuts as when you call into the VRU and you hear all of the loads that have been dispatched it sounds great and you want to move to that Express Center. The loads dispatched on the VRU can be relocates and also trucks from other Express Centers with more dwell...

    Shocking Update

    Last time we bought shocks Bob asked our local Freightliner what their shocks cost and when he heard the price he said ok I will go to NAPA. The sales guys asked Bob what the shocks were at NAPA and he then beat the price. That was a new one for us.

    What's going on?!?

    You are looking at two different things. The VRU is loads dispatched from an Express Center and C-Link is trucks checked into a Express Center.

    New Scam!!

    You bring up a good point Layout with the insurance and the guy on running board. I imagine there were 20 guys working those blocks at a minimum.

    New Scam!!

    We had one guy that I swear should have been a tour guide. His price was $20.00 for his directions and he rode on our step for about 4 blocks explaining the directions. We told him the general area we needed to be in as he did not need to know the exact location. This guy was amazing he knew...

    Shocking Update

    Bob said nope you can get shocks at NAPA. Get the part number off of your sales ticket and then NAPA can cross reference the part number for the correct shocks. If they did not write the part number down look on the lower half of the shock absorber. This number will be a Freightliner number...

    This is a test

    He has been informed! One of these days it is all going to work out..... Next time you go zooming by slowdown and shake your CB Mic at him so he will get the drift to turn the CB on and hopefully it will be on the right channel.

    How many have

    Feedback I think is always good. We just sent a thank you email to several at FedEx Custom Critical who helped with the FCC breakfast and also for the nice fleece blankets we received. When we have won a gift card we are also quick to give thanks. We enjoy feedback on a job well done and...

    Twic

    I agree on the money maker part! The CAC card we have cannot be renewed and I have heard more and more DoD drivers talking about getting the TWIC card. We have not heard anything yet about this from our carrier but just the rumor mill working away with other drivers getting the card. Scuba...
