Jim I think maybe you need to show Bob exactly how to go about this project at the Expo!!

I am still making it a point to walk as often as I can and to make better choices when eating out of the truck. This has sure been helping me to feel a lot better and my knees have quit hurting as bad. Not on it as strict as I should be but at least I am not going the wrong way anymore! It is...

Wow Mike those pictures are great thank you for posting them! One of these days we are going to get to see this in person!!

Cheri would look pretty darn cool driving that truck!! Ok she has our vote also so we will give her our winning key.

LOL Dave you just wait till you see that lift gate at the Expo!! You will be able to shave in the refection. Now as for the slave driver part Bob's as I tell Bob this keeps him out of trouble!

Dreamer I cannot even begin to tell you what a really great year we have had! I am not just talking monetary either we have just had a good year all around. We are going to see the Blue Man Group and will be sitting in the poncho section. That will be exciting to say the least. We are going...

We have had NorPass a year now and found for the money it is worth every cent. The pass is very cheap and the price is good for ten years. We do not travel the roads often that use the NorPass but when we do we most often get a green light.

We know of a FedEx T-Val truck that has done his floors with Rhino Lining. That would not work well for us as once in a blue moon our pallet jack will not work and we have to have something pulled out the back. Our floors are starting to wear also and get scratched quite often! For some...

Oh well now that is a problem as I am NOT driving by myself. I am sure we can figure it out though.

Well we are so sorry for all of you but I am glad there will plenty of cameras to take Bob and my picture when we start and drive off in "OUR" truck!! Bob has always wanted a Mack Expediter and this one fits the bill! Price is also perfect.

Bob and I maintained a perfect safety record this past fiscal year, stayed available over 70% of the time and had a good load acceptance rating. We are honored to have been included in a group of safety conscious performers that have maintained FedEx Custom Critical's highest standards. We...

We are over in Edinburgh at the Flying J and ALL of their fuel pumps are down since Saturday. You cannot get Gas or Diesel here at this time and so far we have not seen anyone working on their electronics. They have plenty of fuel just no computers for the fuel pumps. When is south Texas and...

We have registered and cannot wait for the show! Lasts years was the best ever but this one sure looks like it will top it. Everything for an experienced expediter will be here and for someone just looking to get into this field you cannot top it. Every thing you need in one area plus more...

What we do is make the decision on Friday to stay in Laredo or move. Do not move on Monday morning! You have trucks pouring into Texas with Monday morning deliveries. If you are going to move do it on the weekend so you are number one on the board Monday morning. We have had some really good...

Our carrier will use certain loads to reposition trucks to a different area as they are needed. Still we are not in the position to know the inner workings of all the why's.

Green as in what goes in our checking account! We dont care if the load weighs 13,000 or 1 oz if the load pays enough just point us in the right direction to pick it up. It is not up to us to question why we are dispatched on a load only to pick the load up on time and deliver the load to...

Gregg You get a discount from Michelin on the tires through FedEx on the National Account. Jury still out on the final price. We will not be running Nitrogen and right now we are running 110 lbs.

We will also be adding the Doran tire pressure monitoring system when we get home. This should also help to know if we have one going low. The drivers we talked to that monitored their tires with consistency have not had any problems. I would also not recommend these if you do not have a lift...

With FedEx they use the National Average that brings our price down to 1.25 based on 9.5 miles to the gallon. That is the theory and as all theories go... We have figured what out expenses are and what we need per mile to move our truck. We then look at what the load pays and accept or...

Ask lots of questions and as you have learned all ready keep reading. One day after you start driving someone will ask a question and a light bulb will go and you say wow I can answer that question! You could drive out here all your life and newbie can teach you something. That is part of...
