    Snow and Ice

    You sure don't want to see us coming your way right now! We have a hook on the back of the truck and we are dragging the snow and ice with us. One thing we have found is how much it costs in the winter to keep your truck clean. I have been amazed in the last two months how much we have spent...

    Expectations

    Finances are a huge part of this business. The odds of making it are not very good without a good solid plan and some money put away for a rainy day. When you have sat a few days, the stress it a lot less when you know you have a cushion. You are also in a lot better position to make sound...

    Ladies---Come out---Whereever you Are!

    Tennesseahawk - we have been across part of US-36 in Missiouri. We are really beginning to wonder if winter will ever be over. I was pretty amazed when I looked at one of our reports and saw how much we have spent on truck washes. The salt is sure hard on Chrome.

    We are finally out of Iowa!! Boy if we ever see another sheet of ice in our lifetime it will be to soon. What a mess they have up there and it will take awhile to get the cars and trucks out of the ditches around Des Moines. One good thing about all this we are sure running good. BamBam...

    Which way do we go?!

    First I would really research a Sprinter and the costs. Second I would look at what companies are putting on Vans and there is a reason for this. Then I would seriously start looking at straight trucks. A straight truck can go almost everywhere a RV can go. Hope to see you at MATS!

    Drivers are interchangeable!

    Good post and one to think about. I do feel though that the carriers lose when an experienced contractor moves on. It is not cheap to keep training new people.

    MATS Registration Confirmation

    If you are like us we will not be home to get that packet. Since you pre-registered you can go to the pre registration booth and they will print you a new badge. Goes very quick.

    Cell Phone Service Providers

    Highway Star lets get together at MATS and exchange stories! One of the problems we had with the Cingular is if you go into a store that is not in the area you purchased it they cannot help you. The phone breaks while on the road you are just going to have to buy a new one. We have the Sprint...

    Cell Phone Service Providers

    We have Cingular, Sprint and Verizon and find all three work really good in different parts of the country. We could not pick one over the other. We have the same coverage on all three. The costs are all about the same, they all drop calls about the same and they all eat batteries up about the...
