Broom, The home schooling is the absolute best way to go. Unfortunately for alot of kids in our area their parents don't give a hoot about their kids education which leaves many of them resorting to their only option of a GED. Your daughter is fortunate to have you and your wife as parents...

Broompilot, My dad is a GED teacher in our small town in Missouri. He has dealt alot with kids in the justice program where it is a requirement to their probation to obtain a GED. However, it's the kids that were failed by the local school system he enjoyed tutoring the most. He had kids...

Have you thought about MSA (Medical Savings Account) I've had one for 3 years now and I am happy with it. You choose a deductible (mine is 3850.) and you choose how much a month extra you want to put in your savings account (@4% interest). That money you can use for any health, vision...

Congratulations on your win. But for us the 4 star award is not an incentive for us to take every load they offer. We, like most people here, strive to provide excellent service to the customers and to the company we are leased. However, the bottom line for us is revenue. If it's not...

Brody, I have to disagree with your post here...apparantly you have had problems driving for an owner. That's apparant. But we have never financed a used truck for less than 12% interest and that's with good credit. Also, the owner is making repairs, has wear and tear costs on the vehicle not...

My advice to you... before you make a purchase, get a good accountant that is experienced with trucking issues first. Discuss with them your plans and that way you can start with some solid information before you make a big financial commitment. I would not rely on what a dealer suggests...

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, mechanic, businessman, doctor, lawyer and so forth. But little Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father he...

Dear Tide Company, I'm writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all through my married life...as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I'm in my 50's, I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse...

We had a tractor with FEDEXCC for 10 years. We did well and our numbers we're always consistant from year to year. As with any size unit there are slow times but we found it very profitable. The only reason we downsized was because of a health issue...which with the smaller unit would enable...

Hi John, Congratulations on your decision to purchase your own truck. My only advise to you is to go with a REPUTABLE dealer. Through our own experience stay away from FYDA freightliner. They are the sharks in the industry. I can recommend Knoxville Freightliner at least they take care of...

I would like to know how you feel about this problem. Please don't misunderstand my post here...we will help anyone with a legitimate need for a good meal or help in general. I'm talking about the one's that work the truckstops and seem to always run out of gas or need a dollar mainly on the...

Garman, Yes it only costs $5.00 a month extra on our Dish bill. We've had this setup ever since we started expediting over 12 years ago. We watch the tv more on the road than we do at home and we've never had a phone line attached to our receiver. Dish is aware that it is in a mobile unit.

Hello Garman, We have DishTV at home so for an additional $5.00 a month you can get all of the same programming you have at the house. Truck stops will have deals on the equipment you'll need. Pilot had a sale not to long ago where they sold the whole kit for $129. That included the...

Abe, I hope you put aside some money in case you start having problems with the truck. It is better to be prepared than to try to get any help from FYDA. As far as financing...as long as you have a pulse they'll find a way to get you financed through their "Trac-Flease" program. Wish you...

Abe, We still have it. After all the repairs and tires...we put drivers in it. We are fanatics about maintenance so far so good. But those first 6 months were really tough to get through.

Abe, Those trucks came from Interstate Distributors Services. I emailed you with some additional information.

We purchased one of the green 2001 freightliners just about a year ago. My advise to you is BEFORE you commit to ANYTHING FYDA sells, please do yourself a favor and take it to an independent shop have them put on the dyno and have them check it out thoroughly. As far as our experience...the...

We have them on our Volvo 780 straight truck. Never had them before and were just curious if anyone else had experience with them. Thanks for the input anyway.

Anyone out there have super singles on your straight truck? We have a class 8 and are curious about any difference in wet and or winter driving? Are you happy with them? Our truck is heavy and just curious about what we can expect with wear and driving conditions. Thank you.

I would recommend Knoxville Freightliner as well. We purchased a truck at FYDA the beginning of the year and it was THE WORST experience we have ever encountered purchasing a unit. From the time we picked it up we had nothing but problems and within a few months, we ended up doing a major on...
