    owner/fleet owners

    The problem with a so called "list" is that each person has their own version of a story. A driver might think a particular owner is terrible, while the next driver thinks they're the best owner out here. Same with owners and a particular driver. When we began talking to our owner, he...

    New FCC Dispatch Offer Method

    Terry, we are not with Fed, but I have a question about this new system. Example, if a load opportunity is sent to, 3 trucks, 2 accept and 1 decline, how long is the lag time before the truck that is chosen for the load gets notified? Is there a time frame?

    San Diego Parking

    We ended up staying at the KOA Campground San Diego. It's a very nice place, lot's of friendly people, patrolled by campground security 24 hrs and best of all QUIET! I would like to thank everyone for the suggestions they gave us. We will keep these in mind for the next "mini vacation" :)

    We Lost A Good Friend

    I never met John, but traded PM's with him a few weeks ago. He was an inspiration and will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family.

    San Diego Parking

    I'm sorry we got it under these circumstances, but you are correct it is a sweet load! I hope your co-driver gets better quick. We wondered why it was booked so long ago and we just got it. Now we know. Dave, thanks for the info.. I didn't think to "estimate" the length LOL Phil, tell Dianne...

    San Diego Parking

    What I'm finding online is RV's limited to 35ft. Has anyone had issues with length? We are delivering to the convention center and would like to limit the deadhead

    San Diego Parking

    That would be awesome!! Thanks Dave :) We were hoping for something like that since we're in a straight truck and we have the ability to hook up to shore power. I'm off to search the net...for Sam Clemente State Park :)

    strange people knocking on your door

    I've been very lucky since we've been out here on the road. I've had people come to the door and for the most part just a shake of my head will send them away. Hubby says when I walk across the parking lot I always look like I'm about to kick someone's butt, so they're afraid to talk to me...
