We have also seen the problem is not how hard you can run and will run it is how many load offers do you get? The van load offers seem to be few and far between.

Welcome to the Mod Squad

We purchased the air monitoring system for a few reasons. One is the investment we have in our Super Single tires and wheels. The Doran does not take the place of a constant check of your tire pressures. What the Doran does though is if you run over something at a customers or on the road and...

While we were over in Muscat Oman the bathrooms were dangerous places. The higher class places had marble floors in the bathrooms with the squatty potties. After you used this thing there was a little hose to wash the area off and as you can imagine the marble floors and all that water and who...

We get ours from our company. Check with your company to see how to get the PARS stickers. You also might be able to get them at the broker you are using to cross.

Great Reply Terry! We have used the Catalog Removal list and this sure helps when we do get home not to have so much junk mail in our mail box.

Frank has said more then once on here that showers are no longer deductible as they are included in the PerDiem. Anything related to food is not deductible as it is covered in the PerDeim. The paper towels are deductible as you can use them to clean the windshield or other items on the truck...

As far as I know none of the above is deductable. Water covered by per diem and medicine is a personal expense that you would use on the road or at home.

You both get to take the per diem for your taxes. We also try to purchase all truck items with our business account. You can deduct the paper towels and cleaning supplies also rugs for the truck cooking utensils, bedding anything that is only going to be used in the truck. Anything you are...

I recommend our recruiter for FedEx Custom Critical every chance I get. He was very up front with us and what we could expect. We started at a hard time which was January but we made that choice as we had to learn to sleep while the other drove. He stayed in contact with us about our...

Welcome to dacfix.com Kevin Rutherford on XM had a show last night on DAC reports that was very interesting and scary. This subject has been discussed at different times but the above web site might be worth checking into if you have any questions about your report.

All Terry said above and you do live in a good area for short solo freight.

You can drive eleven hours a day as long as this does not exceed a 14 hour period. If you start your day at 6:00 a.m. drive to a shipper arrive at 10:00 wait three hours to get loaded, secured and on your way then drive till 3:00 stop for fuel and a snack 1/2 hour drive till 5:00 stop for...

Being a solo driver in Expedite is the hardest way to make it. You did not say what area of the country you are from and that makes a huge difference to which company you will choose. You also did not say if you will be looking to purchase a truck or going to work for an owner which I would...

The multiiple logs books is something that no one should go anywhere near. To explain logs books without a specific question is a huge undertaking. Can you ask a specific question on what you want to learn more about?

With FedEx Custom Critical on how much you touch freight or fingerprint the freight depends on what division you are in. We are an Express truck but we have a lift gate and we get several loads a month that are lift gate and/or inside delivery loads. We choice to add our lift gate because of...

We added a 22,000lb axle with a single tire which is rated at 12,000lbs due to tire capacity. With FedEx a D is required to carry 13,000 load capacity so with our truck weight we only need the axle to carry 7000lbs. We got a air ride/lift axle that is a pusher with same size tires as our...

Anyone that wants the Color code for FedEx can send Terry or I a PM with your email address and we will email you the code. We can not send it PM as you will not be able to see the code.

Thanks Leo for this link spent a lot of time over there reading!

One thing you might consider is attending the truck show in Louisville this March. Talk to recruiters and as many drivers as you can get to sit still. When we started researching I kept a notebook for just this purpose. Each company will have a different personality and the trick is finding...
