We were coming home from Lansing the other night and the roads were greased ice. I mean it was slippery and we were empty. I was puckered up doing 40 mph! Even other cars were going slow in this snow! (Which is unusual as seeing 2 unicorns mate)! Now, here comes all and I do mean all the big...

I was curious about this: NOT trying to be cute or funny but do truck stops allow married couples to shower together? It seems to me this would drastically cut down on cost of a shower and it would make the ladies feel a whole lot safer, depending on the mood of the husband, maybe not...

I cannot afford an expensive heater right now, so I HAVE to let me sprinter idle sometimes for hours at a time to stay warm. But when I get up in the morning and take off, it smokes like crazy until it warms up again. My question is, is this damaging my engine at all? After it reaches operating...

Okay. Everyone is saying I got a great rate. or it paid a great rate or rate wasn't good etc. Not to sound stupid but do you mean to tell me we don't all get the same rate? I mean, is a trip rate negotiable? If it is,can I ask how you go about negotiating. Be gentle with replies...I am STILL...

Hi: If you are tired of paying for fax fees, sometimes as much as 3 bucks per fax, I have discovered a better way. I bought one of those "stick" scanners and I scan the Bill of Lading with it and then send it to my company as an E-Mail attachment. They can then print it (on their dime) and it...

Hello: I was wondering if anyone would know why or how to fix no low beam headlights on my 2006Dodge Sprinter? I have brights, but no low beams. I checked both fuses for each side of the low beams but they were not blown. I know this is probably like going to the Doctor and saying "I don't feel...

OK! I have jumped into this expediting thing with both feet. So far I like it but I am confused about a serious issue. I am being given runs that I am finding it hard if not impossible to meet the delivery times. How fast do you guys drive? I don't mean to sound dumb but I am running 72-74 MPH...

Hi everyone! I made the plunge. Leased on with On-Dekk Transportation and LOVE the job. On-Dekk is a great company to work for. Everyone is helpful, honest, and you don't have to keep looking for a knife in the back. I guess I lucked out first time. My question is the times between pickups and...

Hi: Could someone please tell me what kind of oil and how much a dodge sprinter 2500 diesel will take? Also, do the quickie oil change places change oil in them? Any help will be appreciated. Jumbuck:confused:

I was very curious as to how an expediting company finds their loads for there drivers. I know they have load boards but I was wondering how do they get access to these boards and why can't anyone look at these boards? How do these load boards work and how do they know how much to bid? Any...

Could someone explain to me how expediting dispatch boards work. I hear "first in first out, etc" but I don't know what all that means. If someone could explain to me as if I were a 2 year old, I sure would appreciate the help. Jumbuck:confused:

Could someone please answer this question for me? If I have a sprint van hired on at one company am I running under their authority? And if I am, can I still work for the first company but call any other expediter companies and run for them too, or how does that work? If I am sitting somewhere...

Something ocurred to me today...Why is it that so many expediting companies ALWAYS seem to be hiring? From my measly experience, it seems because it advantageous to THEM to have a whole fleetload of trucks at their disposal so it doesn't matter if they leave a bunch of trucks sitting all over...

Hello everyone! I was wondering which software to use for keeping up with business expenses, income, outgo, and so on? I plan to use my laptop, but don't know which program to use for business. Any help will be greatly appreciated.:)

:eek:Ladies and Gentlemen. I am getting ready to either make a great deal of money or I am going to make the biggest mistake of my hard working life. Now I know that every expediter out there has the same goal I do, to make money, but I have read SO many posts and forums etc that I must admit, I...

I am newer than new mowed grass to expediting, but not to big trucking. I can see Expediting looks like a whole new and exciting ball game. I haven't had a first dispatch yet, but I am working with JD Clark to get hired on and hopefully soon. I do have one question however that confuses me. Is...
