    new dispatch system @ the fed

    Well from what we have read and seen of the dispatch system it will work out well for us and our carrier. Get the loads covered faster by confiming to the customer that we have a truck available to take the load. From what we have read I do not believe this will affect our load acceptance or...

    Trashhole of a Pilot

    When we are in the area that is the truck stop we always stay at. We noticed last time that it appeared to be running down. The installation of Idle Air did not help the parking either. We have spent the night at the Cabalas when the Pilot was full. The problem for us is this truck stop is...

    We Lost A Good Friend

    John O was one of the best. Always helpful and what a great sense of humor and a great sense of life he had. He is sure going to be missed on this site. Thanks for letting us know.

    Bye To The Cool People

    Moot if you to this point have all the bobbleheads I am sure you are not legal to drive that van! If you are not careful you will have to lower the weight of the freight you are able to haul!

    strange people knocking on your door

    Usually at night if someone knocks I am the one to stick my head out from behind the curtains as Bob will talk to them I pretty much tell them to get away from the truck. It is so frustrating to be sleeping in a pay lot and someone know on the door wanting money. We just use our door locks...

    Company Sand Bagging

    If you accept a load that does not have a confirmed delivery this can happen. It seems this happens to us most often when we accept a load on Friday expecting to deliver on Saturday then the load will come back with a confirmed delivery on Monday. You will not get any detention time on a...

    Favorite Meals in the Truck

    You can buy the Rocket Grill at Wal-Mart. They cook just like a George Foreman grill but you use a parchment bag to place your food in and drop it down into the grill. The parchment paper collects all the grease then when food is done you throw away the parchment bag and you are done with your...

    Favorite Meals in the Truck

    We bought a Rocket Grill and a meal we are really stuck on right now is Hillshire Farms Italian Style Smoked sausage, bell peppers and onions. I cut the sausage into about 4" pieces, cut up the onion and bell pepper into long pieces then stick them into the grill for about ten minutes! We...

    Probably no right answer - but give it a shot.

    Learning to sleep in a moving truck is tough! We really did not think we would have a problem with that as either one of could sleep in the front seat with the other one driving but laying down was another story. We have a lot of quality time together which is why we choose expeditiing and not...

    Teams

    We have found that when we need to be home at a certain time and find ourselves in the area of the house but say a week early we will go on a solo status. You have to inform your carrier and also let your carrier know who the driver will be. As for adding your wife later talk to the recruiters...

    It does appear that you have missed something,as we are not in a truck or even on the same computer.And I'm sure if you think long and hard you will know why you are a member of the "1" club.DD. Well I must admit I have not spent much time wondering about being included in the "1" club but it...

    Stuffed shirts and this ain't fun no mo

    I am a little confused even though I am also a member of the "1" club on why if you are in the same truck, appears as if you are using the same computer why you would use the same computer to talk to each other? Did I miss something here?

    M2 headlights

    I forgot to say we also had to learn the hard way! We thought all light bulb matching numbers were created equal! Wrong on this one.

    M2 headlights

    We have also had this same problem. Bob has bought them at a Freightliner Dealer, some TA's have them and you can special order them from a auto parts store which is the cheapest we have found. We also keep spares.

    Sleeper Essentials

    We have the AA sleeper with the stowaway table and that has to be the biggest waste of space in this sleeper. We covered up that hole in the floor and threw the table away. You need to think about how you will spend your time while waiting? What do you guys like to do watch TV, read, or watch...

    When is a D is better than a C

    Phil you are White Glove you do not bubble up the same for loads in Express as we do. You know as well as I do that you are considered a source when people are looking at getting into this business. When a new person is looking at buying a truck and you give your information as a T-Val truck...
