Charlotte, Like I said earlier, I did not mean to offend anyone but I really do feel as though a fleet owner should not represent a single truck owner. Yes, there are many concerns that we will both agree on but then there are those that we will not. We have been dispatched over because a...

We use TAB, which is through the Flying J but can be used anywhere. Maybe you should have your owner check into it.

>Atleast now we can talk to somebody who has driven a truck >and understands where we are coming from. I am sorry but I must disagree, I cannot see how a fleet owner can understand where we -the single truck owner- is coming from. To me, they are in a whole different catagory than us. So how...

I have a question about this voting for Driver Council and I hope I do not come across sounding sarcastic or negative because that is not my intention. But..... How are we supposed to vote for the Council if we do not know the people who are running? Other than the little that was written in the...

We totally agree with you Babs, that is exactly how we feel.

Couldn't agree with you more. We have met a lot of great people out here in the expediting world and we do not care who they work for. We keep in touch with a couple that works for FedEx. Ran into them a few times in different areas and it is always great to see them. Last week we spent time...

Coco, I have the same one that Redbird Girl has, bought it at Walmart. It works great. I also ran across another driver that has the same one and they claim you can brew the coffee while the truck is moving - that I never tried! Also, I just saw a coffee maker at the J in GA, by Hamilton Beach...

We have our Fast cards and show them along with our Driver's License. Normally they do not ask any questions - just tell us to have a good day and send us on our way.

Never thought of Hamburger Helper, will have to give that a try - we are always looking for something new to eat on the road. We do alot of our cooking in a crock pot. You go to the Super Walmart's and buy the pre-seasoned meats or a roast, even boneless chicken. When I am home, I like to make...

Has anyone been made to go back to Canada because your paperwork was not cleared? When did this change come about anyway? We picked up a load 15 minutes from the Border,called the broker to see how long it would take to get the paperwork cleared. Had the shipper fax paperwork, got the...

We were involved in an accident in Feb with a kid that had minimum coverage on his vehicle - which only covered the cost of repairing our truck and gave us a few dollars to cover our lost wages and added expense. After talking with many owner ops, we were told that our insurance should actually...
