Thanks Dave... I wondered if the HOS made a difference. I know there are many teams that aren't same household, but I can't imagine splitting the income or home time like that. We came from T/T with a 72in sleeper, and the first expediter truck we went into had a 96in sleeper. We thought HOLY...

LOL...I wasn't talking about quite THAT far back.

We don't stay at the J or the TA in Dallas. We'll drive the extra miles and stay in Rockwall.

Were there many husband/wife teams in the early days of expediting?

Hahaha....go get em Cheri :p

Seems to me, if the bridge was low enough to peel back the trailer, he'd have been looking at the thing center of the windshield, as he approached. Feel bad for the guy, but sheeesh, if he didn't see the bridge, what else doesn't he see? I was rear ended in NYC because I paused at a "low...

Best of Luck in your new adventure! Don't disappear in the abyss, please let us know how it's going.

Eric, you said It's nice that you take care of the taxes for them, but if they paid quarterly taxes on the income, why would they be upside down owing income taxes at the end of the year?

We use this too. It's good stuff! We are smokers, and it cleans the glass without streaking.

We use RainX and have also had the problem with those "sticky spots". What I can't figure out is, why? It doesn't happen all the time, so is it possibly something that's on the road or in the air that causes it?

Write tiny huh? ;)

Thanks Leo and Ebsprintin, Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees :o. I didn't think about using the yellow copy for the shipper (if needed) I send the originals to the owner (after I make myself a copy) so he wouldn't need the white AND yellow copy. Has a new form come out? I don't...

I didn't think about that because I am the opposite, I try to have the paperwork filled out, with the exception of times, when we pick up the load. I still think that it's a good idea to have something for the shipper to sign as well. Leo, I'm not sure what you mean by this? Not being an owner...

As former FDCC drivers, we had a BOL form that was filled out for each run. One of the things that we had to get used to at Panther was the "Delivery Receipt". There was nothing we could give to the shipper. I stumbled upon a BOL on the Panther website, and I wonder why this isn't used...

Is there a picture? Can't see it here

Interstate endorsement...great idea! Then maybe they'd figure out what that pedal under the right foot is for.:cool: I've seen drivers using cell phones and you'd never know it, but, it's the ones that are totally absorbed in the conversation they forget that they are not in a chair at home...

For us, that scenario has only happened a few times in the last 3 months. We've been lucky. For awhile it happened so much we just planned on sitting over the weekend.

From the discussion, it sounded like improvements have been made to the program to include Hazmat routing. Kevin is suppose to interview drivers that are using it to see how it's working.

Heard about this new GPS product on Kevin Rutherford's' show tonight. It is suppose to be truck specific. GPS Car Navigation at TeleType GPS

The best thing our owner did for us was show us exactly what the truck expenses were for each month. We now "have a clue". Our owner provides us with excellent equipment and a great pay package. We try to run to the best of our ability, keeping in mind those numbers he gave us. We figure if...
