jd2000 You are probably right. Its really not that bad for a team to empty out on thursday evening. Get a load offer on Friday evening and it cancel. Get another load offer Saturday morning to pickup Monday morning . Deadhead 175 miles to pickup. Wait 2 hours for detention time to start and be...

Davekc,thanks for your reply.My husband wrote about the canceled confired load that we had.Your right why would we start our reffer on the 24th when were to pu on the 26th.Of course we started the reffer the morning of the 26th.Typing mistake on our part.We did get dry run pay of $150.00 for our...

Thank you Terry for your response. All these things are true and I might add also they should keep in mind the consequences of holding a truck up for a load tomorrow that the customer would have been more than happy to have shipped today. With my experience I hear alot about satisfying customer...

tenten We are contractors with FedexCC and own our truck. We were dispatched on a load 6\24 at 0530 on a confirmed load to pick up at 0800 on 6\26. This was a reefer load. We of course received our critcal checkout message at 0530 on 6/24. At that time we started our reefer to get temp to 35...

Hello Everyone,I've been trying to find someone that will cover truck drivers on long term disibility and its not looking good.I've found several companys that will cover short term but none long term.Even Ooida only has short term disiblity.Does anyone know of a company that covers long term...

Hello Frank,I talked to you about the general partnership between my husband and I.Since we have found out that it's not what's best for us can we back out of this without a red flag going up? If so,what steps do we need to take to do this? We will fax you the info that you requested as soon as...

Hey Frank,I've heared that we can use groceries we buy for the truck as a write off as long as you buy them out of state and 250 miles from our home.Also that we can write off the movies and books we buy to use on the truck is there any truth to this? Thanks for any infor you can give us.

tenten I would like to discuss the differences between driving for the company my husband and I are leased to and driving for Landstar. We have a 22' straight truck with a reefer. We no longer have internet and are using this free with our laptop here in California. Would like to talk to a BOC...

tenten and your point is????? I am still trying to figure out what your are trying to inform us about. Seems to me you are griping on one end and happy as a lark on the other. Which is it ?? If you are just trying to impress someone with how far you drove this weekend I for one am sorry to...

tenten My husband and I really appreciate all the feedback you kind people have so generously offered on this subject. We feel this is just too great of a risk for us to persue. I think he has pretty well resigned himself to either work towards getting a KW or Western Star. He feels the...

Has anyone ever heard of the western star having problems being over weight on the front axle since this is an issue with kw and pete? thanks for your reply.:)

We got the best service out of verizon wireless.For the 2years we were on the road together most of the time we had service.My husband switched to cingular because of possible better rates and more minutes.Well,he doesnt like them,he's almost always out of service,even on the main interstates.We...
