One other thing that really got our attention when we where looking for a company was how professional the recruiters act. We tried to talk to one company that shall remain nameless and they actually stayed seated in their chairs and they were our number one choice up to that point. Talk about...

The Rocket Grills are cheaper at Wal-Mart. If you like Bagels I have heard they do very well in the Grill. I am going to try a grilled cheese and ham sandwich in them today and see how that turns out. I am still amazed at the ease of use and the cleanup. The bags are rather high but to not...

Look on the bottom of the page on the left hand side!

The thoughts of giving up our straight truck and going with a van would be like a nightmare. We have most of the comforts of home with us, recliners, sink, large refrigerator, microwave, TV and enough room for us to move around in easily and have our dog. I know some vans have a lot of these...

We haul very little automotive. Boredom is the number one problem it seems as if from someone coming from big trucks to the expedite arena. Research long as hard if you are going to try and run solo.

Thought I would give an update on our Rocket Grill we purchased at Christmas time. I have used it twice in the truck while going down the road so have only used the inverter and not the generator with it. I cooked two frozen boneless pork chops the first time in 15 minutes and the second time...

I am sorry to see you have to get out of this for a health reason. I am like Cheri I sure hope you can find something to do that you will love and it will not feel like a job. Good Luck with the next door that will open for you.

How often you go home depends on where you live and the freight lanes of the company you leased to. Being a team or solo also can change how often you go home. How long you stay home also depends on how well you are meeting your financial requirements. This is something you just will no know...

Mike can you tell them what kind of truck you are in so they can compare to an Express truck? Express Trucks, White Glove Trucks, and T-Val trucks all live in different worlds.

If you are looking at FedEx Custom Critical you will make more with a Reefer in White Glove but check with a recruiter on how long it typically takes a new O/O to get into White Glove. We bought our truck jumped in feet first to expediting and learned by talking to as many drivers as possible...

I checked our stats for last year and our average length of load was 581 miles. We do haul short air freight loads which will bring your average down considerably. More important then length of load for us is how much do we make per mile or what is our income for the day. Some of our short...

The Louisville show is great for learning about new products and great workshops. To us these two trucks shows are must attends.

Wow that was something to watch. It is amazing the precision that she has and to get the full effect you almost need to watch the video in slow motion.

The company you would lease with will also have a program on how old they will keep trucks on. You will need to check with the companies you are considering leasing with to see how old a truck can be before they will not sign a lease with you. I believe a Class 7 truck only gets 5 years with...

I think part of the problem is T-Val trucks and also the refrigerated trucks and the income they produce. Is this truck the dry box truck that does or doesn't have a lift gate on it? No matter how nice your sleeper is and I have no doubt it is nice the income for a White Glove T-Val or...

Sorry just always look at it as the 52.00 dollars and would hate to have someone look at the 39.00 and just take 75% of that.

It doesn't matter if you own the truck or drive the truck the per diem is the same. You need a truck accountant that is aware of these laws. If you take the 39.00 you will be doing a great disservice to yourself. You need to be aware by use of log books or other means on when you leave and...

The office will have to reply to all of our questions on how the heck to get around here! What a great new challange for "2008"

What a great way to start the new year is with a new fresh look to my favorite place to enjoy my coffee with! Looks like the crew did a great job last night as we slept the night away. Only addition I would like to see is with your personal information is what company you are leased to...

Hey BigJoe I think you are going for the right balance of acceptance and refusals. Our plans for the coming year will probably drop our acceptance rate some but I think we will be better off at the end of "2008". We are going over our budget with a fine tooth comb and also going to be setting...
