ddperki We have to be there at 4:00 in the morning and then after the little mistake of taking this load we are heading east to the truck show! Would love to meet you guys but we sure have a long way to go and only a short time to get there!

Sitting in San Antonio Texas waiting to pick up a load going to Tucson AZ!

situation the truck was depreciated incorrectly and if we where to have had a audit we would have lost all the way around. There is not a good reason to not figure perdiem in correctly when your primary business is truck accounting. Another driver recommended this company and we have been very...

We also use the 12 hour schedule 2:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We have been doing this for a long time and have had really good results. We know every day what our schedule is and when we get a load we know exactly whose turn it is to drive. We both get sleep during the night which helps us. All of...

A word of caution on ATBS from our experiences. We used them our first year with our new truck. The first problem that we found out at the end of the year was our estimated taxes where figured wrong and we paid in more then 6000.00 then we needed to. We immediately started looking for a new...

You know I will admit I thought of just blowing the horn. I will admit I was in shock and just turned away. I think in retrospect I should have reacted harsher but I really believe and still believe nothing would have been done. The thing is though I didn't find out that so next time I will...

Congratulations Steve!

LOL x06col You are right about height and width. The barn door opening though is smaller then our opening. We have had a couple of instances where we needed every inch we could get. We have a philosophy, have every thing you can so you will have the most opportunities for more freight.

We have barn doors and our next truck will have barn doors. We also have a problem with them wanting to come unlatched and swing when moving. Bob has devised a tarp strap that he always uses on the doors to keep them open. We have been given loads because our opening was large enough to...

Our prayers or with her and all drivers involved in that horrific accident.

Logging software and paperlogs are on their way out and EOBR's are on their way in! This is going to be the wave of the future.

Terrible start to a really nice day. We where sitting at the Flying J in Laredo Tx very near the building. A big truck backed in next to us in the evening with an older, heavy set, white haired and what I thought was a gentleman parked next to us. In the morning I was drinking my coffee and...

You have us beat all to heck. Never had that many in a row! Hope your luck changes and you start going east towards Louisville!

March 22-24 Kentucky Exposition Center. Have you made your plans to be there? We are hoping to get to MATS on the 21st and park in the RV section that does not have hookups. It does cost to park in this area but we have easy access to take Molly for walks during the day. We are hoping for...

We have a 3300lb 6'X 8' lift gate. We can easily fit a pallet and a pallet jack on ours. Before we bought ours we helped other people and used their lift gates at that time we determined for our peace of mind we wanted a lift gate we felt safe on. Ours has several safety features that we...

Another one that we have heard of people leaving is there pallet jack. We have just installed a camera in the box so we can also keep track of our equipment while not allowed on the dock. It does still all come down to you if you are the one that shuts the doors you need to make sure...

This is why we do what we do!! A great post ask a question get a few replies that answer the question and a nice thank you from the original poster. Nice Job!

RE: A couple of Canadian RE: Truck Driver Slang How about I will take the front door or I have your back door? How about ant eater? Short nosed sloped hood. There have to be a lot more out there!! What can you come up with? Is there any slang words out there that relate to the sleeper or...

Louixo you can always get a laugh out of us! Good One

There is nothing nicer though then that fan when you are parked at a customer and all is calm. We also do not use ours all of the time but when we do have a chance we really enjoy it. We also have the rain sensor and that is a really nice item to have.
