My contract with my drivers clearly states that IF a driver has an at fault/preventable accident, then they are totally responsible for the insurance deductable and any costs that the insurance company won't pay. No way am I going to pay for damages due to the carelessness of a driver. If my...

You could also try drinking green tea (not the bottled). I've lost 47 pounds since May by doing this. I eat normally and drink the tea several times a day. It not only is a natural way to detox your body, but it also speeds up your metabolisim and curbs your appetite.It's the easiest diet I've...

Thanks Cheri! We're just a small town but we have a huge heart. :) I know what it's like to be stuck in a boring truck stop for the weekend, so it really helps when you can find something fun to do that doesn't cost alot. I've had several expediters & other truckers give me a hand when I...

Tremendous post Broompilot!!!!! I had tears streaming down my face by the end of your post. Isn't it amazing how God puts us in these kind of situations to "wisen" us up and make us realize that we're not as bad off at times that we may think we are? Thank you for this post and for making me...

Does anyone know of any truck stops or resteraunts that are giving a free thanksgiving dinner to truck drivers?

The NY borders seem to go much quicker and smoother for us than the Detroit border. 2 of my trucks just came through the Buffalo border this week and didn't have any problems or holdups.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving and where will you be?

......to keep our heads above water and to help our drivers (and ourselves) to run smart & make a decent living as expediters. Mindi Shipman Fed Ex Custom Critical & Tri-State C & D straight trucks

Yes you get 2 degrees. I did a double major back in my 'younger' days. I got one in business management and one in english.

RE: Are truckers at greater risk for staph infecti Yup, that staph is VERY nasty stuff. A little boy from our area just died from it. It happened so quickly too. I've always carried baby wipes in all my vehicles (especially in my trucks) so that I can wash my hands often. Even when YOU wash...

Golden corral not only has a great buffet with a wide variety of foods to choose from, but they also don't hesitate to give back to the community. Giving vets a much deserved free dinner is just one of the ways that they show their appreciation. We just love this place!

Hope & pray that you get better real soon!!!! Sure wish one of my trucks were near you so that I could have them help you. It was pretty smart of you to give your wife that info sheet. Not many people plan that far ahead.....good for you! Again, I'll be saying extra prayers for you to get...

Are you a straight truck or tractor? I had 2 straight trucks arrive on the Dallas board yesterday afternoon. One got a load practically the minute they arrived and the other got a load out this morning.

I have one solo truck on with them and it's doing great.

Will any of you tri-state straight truck teams tell me how you're doing? I'm particularly interested in how many loads you haul a week, and what's the ratio of loaded miles vs deadhead miles. I'm thinking of moving some of my team straight trucks over to tri-state but would like to hear from...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! My dad quit smoking in January after 50+ years so I have an inkling of how hard it must be for you. Keep up the good work!! :) :) :) :)

I wouldn't even hesitate to call his company and report him. This guy might hit a vehicle next time and seriously injure or kill someone, including himself. Just curious: were the police involved? Had it been me, I would've called them too. This guy is an accident waiting to happen.

My husband & I stay out for 6-8 weeks and then take a week off. We have our dog on the road with us and have a wonderful and trust worthy gentleman taking care of our yard & my house plants so there's no need for us to hurry home. The only 2 holidays that we definately make a point of being home...

You can call NY DMV at: (518)457-6391 or visit their website at: new-york-dmv.us You'll then get the answers that you need right from the horse's mouth instead of relying on a dealer who might steer you in the wrong direction. It seems odd to me that a dealer wouldn't know the proper protocal...
