Thanks CoCo, I will give it a try!!

We got into the expediting 2 1/2 years ago so I guess you would say we are still new to it all but for the most part, we love it! It is nice being our own boss, picking and choosing which loads we will and will not take and having the freedom to see so many sights. Before we got into this, Jim...

I know what you mean about the lotion, I have it in easy access in any area of the truck! For those of you with cellulite, have you tried the Jergens Skin Firming lotion? That really works, it has done wonders for me :-) :-) Like you, things are starting to droop and that makes me very unhappy...

Help! The last few months I have noticed that I am looking older than I should, which has me very upset!! :-( I am getting horrible bags under my eyes - my Mom has 30 years on me and she does not have bags under her eyes!! Sometimes they are sooo bad that I wear my sunglasses even when I am...

I usually sleep next to the back of the bunk when hubby is driving and if I am not mistaken, he does the same thing when I am driving. That way I don't get the feeling that I am going to hit the floor if he hits the brakes a little too hard. I also keep a pillow next to me. I know it is a false...

> >We traded in for a Sterling Acterra. We are very happy with >it and I'm glad you're team is happy with the M2. Looks >like it worked out good for both of us. >> Hey CoCo, We also have a Sterling Acterra - it is a 2006. What kind of problems, if any have you had with yours? Right now...

I agree with Cheri, I would save your money. Last month when we were coming out of Canada, we asked the guy in the booth about getting our passport and he said to hold off on it for now - that things are up in the air on what is going to be done. He said for now just make sure we carry our birth...

RE: Feeling a little stupid about CA speed limit.. >I have seen the sign as well. With that printed here, all >other signs in the state say trucks, and cars with trailers. > You stated that you asked a DOT officer and this is true >correct? Yep, we stopped at the scales on I5 when...

I already posted under Woman's View but thought I would post here for the ones that don't go in that forum: How many of you know that if you drive a straight truck that you can do the same speed limits as the 4 wheelers??? I must admit, we feel pretty silly since we have been to CA on numerous...

After reading about Lisa's DOT Inspection and Logs, it made me wonder about that one question I keep asking my husband about logging a post trip at midnight. If I start driving at 10:00pm and do not stop until 2:00am to fuel, should I still be doing a post trip at midnight? And if I don't, is...

Portland is no good either, we were just there last week and had to DH back to LA!

Sorry guys, no suggestions here. To us both places stink as far as getting freight out, never had any luck in Denver or Wichita! Did you try Back Haul to see if they have anything heading East? I know the pay sucks but even if you can get something that delivers near St Paul, MN, we have always...

Thanks for the compliment! My husband and I have tossed this idea around for the last six months and we made a list of the pro's and con's of owning more than one truck. Yes, it would be nice to own multiple trucks but our biggest fear was finding reliable drivers that would take care of our...

We also use TAB for our fueling. When we first started in the business, we would try and bring enough cash to last us for at least a month (we know, it is stupid to carry that amount of cash) but we hated to pay the bank charges at the ATM's. Then we ran into a couple that has been out here for...

Thanks for the input. We were told the same thing from a fleet owner, to have at least 3 trucks, in case 2 should be in the shop at the same time. Maybe we will just keep saving for awhile and see if things are going to even out a little before jumping into adding on. I hate the thought of...

I am sure this question has been asked somewhere along the line but I have not come across it as of yet. We would like to buy another truck and put a team in it. We have been in the business 2 1/2 years and started out in a used truck, then last June, we traded our old turck and purchased a...

Thanks for the info. I even programmed it into my cell so I do not forget. I hate paying those extra charges!!

How many of you know that if you drive a straight truck that you can do the same speed limits as the 4 wheelers??? I must admit, we feel pretty silly since we have been to CA on numerous occasions and never knew this until last week when we crossed over from Oregon and saw the sign. My husband...

:-) Glad to know I am not the only one that feels that way!!
