My future daughter-in-law sent this link to me this morning. It's about a woman that bought a pair of flip flops from Walmart. The pictures are kinda of gross, but it's interesting the "response" she got from the company. I'm beginning to think like a conspiracy theorist (YIKES) All these...

Before we came back to the road, we made a trip down to Naples, FL to visit our middle son and granddaughter. I just had to show her off ;) Those other 2 ugly mugs are us LOL

We discovered that for a quick rolling breakfast, the Southbeach diet bars are great. The have higher protein and less carbs than the normal breakfast bars. They are filling and you don't get the "crash" that the other sweet bars have. Also, for that "chocolate" craving....they sure are...

Can anyone tell me why there's a limit to how many times you can check the Macro 8 (suggested reposition) with Panther? Also, why is it limited to a 300 mile radius from where you're located at the time? I just don't get it! The VRU was so much better!

For the last 3 days we've been having issues with our Qualcom going into the "we've lost you" mode and dropping both of us to line 4 on our logs. Are any other Panther drivers having this trouble? We called and they were suppose to be checking into it, but we haven't heard anything. This is a...

WYOMING STATE POLICE In most of the northern states, there is a policy of checking on any stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop down to the single digits or below. About 3 a.m. one very cold morning in March , a state police officer responded to a call: there was a car...

We drive for an owner and will be paid on a 1099. We have occupational accident coverage deducted from our weekly settlement. Is this deductible on our taxes at the end of the year? Thanks :)

We're with Panther and have a 16ft reefer box. This is our first year in expediting, and I was wondering how business is during the time between Christmas and New Years? We're trying to decide whether to plan on being home for a week or coming back out on the 26th. I don't want to just sit out...

This was mentioned in a previous post: The number of trucks in an area compared to the number of loads that might go outof that area in a specific period of time. How do you find out this information? We are just the drivers, not the owners so does that make a difference as to what information...

For those that have a laptop and email access while out on the road might be interested in eFax. It elimates the need to go in search of a fax machine. www.efax.com

Thank you for the excellent information you've provided to us (Nightshift & Pelicn). It was nice meeting you and your wife at the truckshow and putting a face to a name. We were able to talk to FedEx and to Landstar at the show so now it's compiling a list of more questions to ask each.

Nightshift is OTR right now, and while he's been out he's been looking for expeditiers to talk to. Here's the question he asks... Where the heck are you guys? :7 He said he very rarely sees expediters at truckstops or rest areas, so where do you guys "layover" at?

I received an email, from a forum member, but I'm not sure who it is. The return address was just [email protected] I thought that email sent from the form on the site revealed the sender's email address. I tested it by logging in under Nightshift's name (my hubby)and sending myself an...

Does anyone have any information about this company? They have an office near us, so that would be nice. I've looked at their website, but would appreciate opinions. Thanks a bunch! :7

In my poking around on the net, I came across this site for "training" http://www.expeditesolutions.com/ In looking at the FAQ's on the site, this was one of the questions: "How is the truck revenue figured?" The truck is paid a per mile rate based on the contract agreement with the carrier...

I'm headed over to take my CDL written test tomorrow. I'm going for all endorsements except passenger. I start school May 3rd and I must confess, I'm excited, but TERRIFIED!

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car has been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm...

Good Morning :) We are having a problem with the "My Checklist" feature. Nothing is being saved. Are we doing something wrong? Thanks for the help!
