I became curious about the flat rate program for straight trucks and wanted to find out more about it. Here is the info I was given: "The flat rate pay plan that’s available for straight-trucks is simply an alternative pay plan. The trucks still run OTR, they’re not regional, or they’re...

So far this year we have purchased 2386 gallons of fuel at the T/A using our T Chek card. Our rebates total $631.30. That's a savings of $.2645 per gallon.:) Not bad for the first 2 months.

I awoke Friday morning to find a goody bag full or BOL's, TripPak envelopes, log books and other things hanging on my mirror. Location was at the T/A in Morris, IL. (R-Place) I was wondering who left them for me. I would assume the why was because they were leaving. Thanks to whoever it was...

Occasionally our great new Quallcom has decided to shut down and then start itself up again. It takes forever and is a real pain when you are available on CLINK as load opps don't come through. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to update your logs while you are still doing an...

I just got done running all our numbers for 2010. We received almost $2000 in discounts buying fuel at T/A's with our T Chek card last year. Next year we are going to leave it on our card and spend it on Christmas. Kind of like a Christmas club account.

We just had the new QC installed and go back in service tomorrow. When you are dispatched on a run does the delivery address automatically go to the GPS for routing or do you have to enter the address manually? And, how often do you have to edit and approve your logs and send them in? Thanks

Each week we get a sizeable deduction for Work Accident Insurance. (Several thousand dollars so far this year) I know it is required and that it is similar to, but different then Workers Compensation. My question is does anyone know what this actually covers or where I can find out? I assume...

We really like doing the west coast runs, especially driving across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and then coming into California. Or coming down I 15 from Utah. Nice long runs and beautiful scenery. But, we never seem to be able to get a load back out. We delivered on Thursday in St George...

Has anyone been getting out of Las Cruces, NM lately?

Is anyone else getting inundated with low paying load opps? We delivered near Mount Vernon, IL on Monday morning and are at the T/A in Mount Vernon. I have not kept track of all the opps, but we have had at least 20 with rates below $1 per mile. Many way below. We have had very few above $1...

I know Salt Lake City has become an express center recently. How is freight out of that area? Particularly surface expedite.

We have a load to New Orleans. Never been there before. Is there any activity there? Or should we just deadhead out of there?

I just bought new steer tires at Speedco and used the FedEx discount. Saved over $400 from what I was quoted at TA. If you are looking for tires don't forget to get a quote and ask for the discount.
