Try the Iowa 80 truckstop in Walcott IA.WWW.iowa80.com. I get E mails from them and also their catologue. Prices seem to be OK.

I am in 100% agreement with Wild Bill.Join the service ,get your driving skills and experience while you get paid for it and when you are discharged ,the companies will be lining up at your door.You also get to broaden your horizons and the pay is not too bad these days.

Laughing Doctors at a recent AMA Convention finally revealed the secret that they have been keeping from American Men for many years. "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHOLESTEROL"

The fax number also shows disconnected,so I put the fax in an envelope and mailed it to the address I have. Hope she stays in business,I thought the court case only applied to fleets and not the individual owner operator.This could cause serious headaches for all of us later this year.

I tried to call her also at 1-405-525-0470,received a message that this number is not in service.Then I tried Okalhoma City information,they gave me the same number, so if it!s been disconnected it must have been recently. I have her fax number and will try that also.

This is really tacky and I have never done this (lol) but you can park in a decent motel lot for the night,and in the morning go in as if you stayed there,help yourself to the free breakfast buffet,get a newspaper,fill your cooler with ice and leave. I once met a guy who kept all of the magnetic...

I would rate the cities in question as follows: Pittsburg F Cleveland G Toledo P too much competition Columbus G Buffalo F Rochester P Indy G NY State is a very difficult state for a manufacturing company due to taxes and a very liberal product liability law. Erie county...

Small thing but over the course of a year I estimate I save about $100.00 by using Supermarket Shopping Discount cards. I must have cards for about 25 different chains. I also get the Motel discount books that you find in rest areas,some truck stops,restaurants etc. If a restaurant or motel does...

Try a couple of bottles of Howes Meaner cleaner. I have used this stuff for years and get 1 MPG better then without it. I have done many MPG tests with or without it and the the stuff works. One bottle generally costs about $9.00 and gives me 4 fillups, about 300 gallons. Without it I get about...

To answer your questions starting with your license,I would study and apply for a class B CDL which will allow you to operate vehicles over 26,000 pounds gross weight. You should also get a Haz/mat endorsement as moost of the expediting companies haul haz/mat and will require that you have that...

Kinda curious about your post? Is Fedex CC leasing you the vehicle or have they just approved you for an operating lease.If they are leasing the vehicle to you and having you as a contractor I think thats a conflict of interest.One interesting thing is that they would make sure you get the loads...

We have 2 services, Cingular Wireless which has given great results over the country and we have another phone with Verizon which is the absolute pits.Verizon disconnects for no reason,the customer service department obviously uses halfway house and released criminals whose sole function is to...

I have also picked up some loads from the other operating Fedex Companies.A few weeks ago we took a Viking load from Fresno CA to Tucson AZ that they could not cover. Recently I did a run from home to Tuscaloosa AL for a company that called Fedex who referred them to FDX CC,so maybe the system...

Hi and welcome to this site.The most important question is,do they still sell that great beer in the Big 6 Pubs?. If you care to enlighten us I would be interested in knowing how difficult it is to do business in all of the various countries you go to.Also can you give an idea of the expenses...

I have had very good results with Dunlop tires and absolutely horrible results with Michelin!s.I run a FL 70 and have the front end aligned when I get new tires.We have a guy here in Jacksonville who is far and away the best front end man I have ever seen. Guys drive hundreds of miles to have...

To add the nightmare that was GM Auto Dieesels in the 80!s,a friend of mine was a GM Tech rep in that era for the SouthEast. The engines were breaking crankshafts at 20,000 miles and no one could figure out why. This was back in the days of 12,000 mile warraties and people that bought big Buicks...

Our deadhead for the past 15 years has been about 30%. However much of that is personal deadhead to go home. If I never went home my deadhead would be about 20%.One important thing to remember is when you accept a run,think about where it!s going to deliver.We always take that into consideration.

In the summer we use 2 fans in the sleeper.One plugs into one of the 12 volt outlets in the sleeper,use very little current,the other one is completely portable.We bought it at Meyers for about $15.00 last year,runs for over 100hours on 4 D Batteries,added plus is that the slight noise put out...

To add to my previous post I would be concerned about the fuel that has been sitting in the tanks and lines for some time. It would probably be a good idea to load up on a fuel system additive for a while to clean out the lines and filters. I use Howe!s Meaner Cleaner religiously and get an...

Oil does not deteriorate with age,look at how long it!s been in the ground.But it would be a good idea to run it for about 5000 miles then get your first PM,also the filters should be ok. It is also a good idea to purchase and carry along with you a complete set of spare filters and a filter...
