We are all talking about two different contractor services here. One is the Homerun Program and one is the Backhaul Program. The Homerun Program has not changed, you call into a dispatcher or CC after you have been out two weeks and they will try and get you home. The backhaul program is a...

Yes El Paso is a ways! Wish you luck the rain has cleared off and just waiting for the show to start. Papa John's had plenty of parking but did notice the other parking areas seem to be filling up. Will know more once we get inside.

Well first day not starting out so nice! We delivered early and we are sitting in the Papa John's parking lot watching the drizzle. Hope it clears off and acts like the last couple of awesome days! Sure looking forward to see all that can get here and the new people. Look for the truck with...

For those of you who are a member of Audible.com there is a huge sale of 200 books for $4.95 that will only be lasting a short time! Lots of good books on the list.

Very Nice my steaks are thawing as I write!

Moot I was hoping this would just ride for a bit and you would really wonder what in the world was wrong with you....

Hey saw you parked our front of the J!! I was out for my walk and decided not to wake you up. Then Bob took this short load so I guess we will get to see you tomorrow. Looking forward to the BBQ in the parking lot.... fun times and lots of fun memories of past get togethers.

India that is the pits you left your shower bag at home as that is really a lot of money to replace! I do not remember reading about the suction cups idea but that is really a good thought that Coco posted. I hate to buy the small items as they are so high priced so we like you just refill...

We deliver a load in the morning in West Virginia then will be on our way to the truck show! Looking forward to it. We plan on parking in the Papa John's parking lot again with a whole bunch of other expediters!!

routejumper great post! Had to laugh out loud reading it and your predicament! Glad the fingers are not broke!

A good idea to practice if you are going to have a pet in your truck is to clean up after the pet. Keep baggies or if needed plastic bags near the passernger seat so they are easy to get to when taking your dog for a walk. Goes a lot for the image of a pet owner when they will clean up after...

Use the search function and look up GPS. You can spend several hours reading on what people like and dislike about any unit that is made at this time. There is really no good truck route GPS out here even though some have claimed to be once they are put to the test they fall apart fast.

We have had our AirTabs for over three years on a M2 Freightliner straight truck. Did not notice much change in fuel mileage but sure like the stability of the truck. They are inexpensive enough even if you are a driver and your owner would not mind I would put them on any truck I drove for...

Steve we used to live near Wolf Creek Pass and in the winter I cannot imagine running that stretch of road. There are several awesome ski places on that road. You do know they finally made the road wider? For awhile you had to do the darn thing on dirt roads. We had a friend who hauled a...

Do you get the weekly newsletter? If you do not send me a PM and I will send you the address of who you need to contact to start receiving this. Very handly thing to get.

You know Dale Vans were not in the discussion so the only way to know would be to call in. I have seen this working both ways in the past month. A contractor signed up on a few broker sites and found their own load and FCC secured the load for them. Once FCC secured the load the O/O did...

We have some friends that drive an E Unit and have used this lately. It is not just for home time it is also to help get you out of a less then desirable area instead of just dead heading. This team delivered in Salt Lake City and their layover was Omaha. Right after they received their...

Each carrier has their way of doing business which is why each carrier is not for each person. Every carrier has warts which is why the more research you do before you sign on with a carrier will pay off in the end hopefully without having to jump carriers. You can never learn all the warts...

Awesome just awesome! When our daughter went through the field medical training it scared me to death. This just goes to show how important that training really is. He did a really great job!!

We can be offered a load that pay's 2.05 all miles and the very next offer can only pay .87 all miles. That is part of the fun of the percentage pay and also the heartbreak of percentage pay. We are seeing less and less of the above 2.00 all miles pay as an Express Truck. If we arrive at...
