Thanks guys. This is a great help!

Here's more...........Please tell me if I'm getting anal here...

1. COMDATA Card. Charge card?
2. 100% fuel surcharge? Reimbursement for YOUR fuel charge?
3. CAB card E-mail?
4. IRP Plates?
5. Is PC miler the standard mileage reimbursement used by companies?
6. Satellite fees?
7. Fuel Tax back charge?
8. Detention Pay?
9. What is escrow pay for?
10. FAST program?
11. What is BCO?
12. What is 55% load on COM data card mean?
13. What is cross docking?
14. Single wide base tires. What are the advantages? Are they becoming more popular? Are the cost effective?
15. Why do so many companies have an open door policy? I understand that it can be a useful policy for the operations, but it appears that MANY companies have it and I get the feeling that folks out there are disgruntled allot. Alternatively, am I just reading into this?

Again, many thanks for all that respond. These are questions in order for me and the wife to educate ourselves to making sound decisions on this new career path........
