    Reality Check.. Loss of an Expediter

    Re: For midsouthx answer on scott I noticed that right away, as I had planned on sending them a note after I noticed they work for the same fleet. Today, I find out from the linked article we live in the same town and after calling Grandma, found out Rob's related to Scott. We know Scott...

    What's going on?!?

    wait... clink says trucks checked in and dispatched(??) vru says (opt 6) loads dispatched, or (opt 8) trucks/units checked in so... if a D unit takes a C load, the vru and clink should show one D unit dispatched or no longer checked in, BUT one C LOAD dispatched, right?? Of course, that's...

    Things we thought everyone knew

    We have had maybe 3 go out in 8 months, and have had no problem w/warranty. We go to O'Reilly and Advanced. Both have been helpful with receipt. Honestly, most places should honor the manufacturer's warranty, but depending who you get behind the counter... I think they have improved since the...

    Things we thought everyone knew

    This will only make sense if you have read the previous four pages of posts :) --Along with pancakes and french toast, waffles are super excellent from the freezer. Mush also freezes well. With pancakes I like to microwave them, and if they're dry, but the butter on them and then micro 'em...

    Hey guys, We met at the truck show, apparently the last time I even logged in was 05/08. I'm supposed to post about freezing waffles or french toast or something... Anyway, it was great talking to you and meeting Miss Molly. Janet and Rob

    Speed Limiters

    You can find these programmers at your favorite factory dealer. (we have heard quotes as high as $5k) In many cases it is available as a program that can be installed on a common computer. However, there are some things to keep in mind. Because the software is intended for dealers and trained...

    Do you get sick of the food?

    A wise husband and wife team told me recently almost the same thing, but using the mini crock pots (walmart-$8?) They use the oven or crock pot bags and take whatever leftover veggies or meats, cut up in chunks, and tossed in. If there's not enough veg, the little cans of veg are the perfect...

    Co-Drivers perspective

    I haven't posted in a long time, but a few of you may remember I came onto a truck with a total stranger. It's been over a year, and we're still trucking. The truck forced both of us to adjust to each other's "quirks". He had driven team before, and I was totally new to driving. It worked so...

    Public Apology

    Oddly, I did not expect to get such a warm response from everyone. I have been with a great owner since July, and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. But thanks guys, maybe this is going to be of help to someone like me who didn't have experience- but just wanted to dive in headfirst and go. I...

    Hazmat Renewal

    Just as a side note- to anyone reading this- if you have never given fingerprints for hazmat before, do it early. My state takes 10 weeks to return the OK, even if you are just renewing. Oddly, a neighboring state takes about 5 days....so you never know. -jansiemoo

    Public Apology

    Funny, I had heard there was a website or something where I could talk with others in the same profession as myself...discuss our experiences, ask questions, etc. I think I found it. I am crying. Again. I was so overwhelmed by anger when I received the brief *barbed-wired* e-mails from him...

    Public Apology

    Apparently this is the comment where I went too far: "I started with a sizeable savings when I began driving in April, but the first truck/owner I was with had some major issues that seriously undermined my earning potential- already limited by my inexperience. You won't make money sitting in a...

    Public Apology

    Dear Guy Who Gave Me A Chance, I am deeply sorry if you feel I disrespected you on this site or through any other channels. I DO appreciate the chance you gave me as a driver with no experience. I wish I also could have gotten my haz-mat sooner, but I got it done as fast as possible. My state...

    Hazmat Renewal

    My Class 'B' license includes air brakes and there is no endorsement required. Without air brakes, the highest class is 'C'.

    Questioning 60/40 split for contractors

    For my driving partner and I, we prefer the 40/60 split because we don't want to do any more math! We are only co-workers, and if we had to make any more decisions about fuel purchase/usage/conservation than we already do, I think we'd kill each other. Seriously, we have a generator, and we try...

    Tis the season

    Last week we spent 5 days in Tucson. At least it hasn't hot. But we did finally get an awesome load out on Monday. Just in time, I don't even like sitting at home for five days. :)
