    The Changing Economics of Expediting

    Just maybe all the drivers are from his area. And just maybe they don't all come in at the same time. My husband maintained our trucks at one time (when we had 4) He ran local and when trucks were there on weekend he did the upkeep that was required.. Drivers went home.

    What I really think of FDCC

    I don't really see that Nightcreacher..just looking it as one more load you or another e unit may get. Thinning the herd is what the rest of ya'll call it.. I also know that as fast as o/o's leave they are lined up to work for FDCC... Just hope he succeeds whereever he goes.

    Why can't they wash lots

    You are certainly right about the smell at some truck stops. It would be nice if they could pressure wash the parking lots also. But, if the lazy azz truck drivers would go to the bathroom instead of peeing on their tires etc...it wouldn't stink so. I was sitting on the 2nd row and a...

    Flying J coffee?

    I agree that Pilot has the best coffee for a truck stop/travel center. Flying J has always been horrible. It always taste like it has been made for many hours and is burnt. I saw the new urns and thought that was a bad idea. Usually we just stop at a rest area or the easiest truck...

    Truck Decal Removal

    My husband pulled stickers off a box today. He used his finger nails and pulled them off. The ones he had trouble with he put a rag soaked in HOT water on them to loosen them up. Took him a couple hours and his fingers were hurting when he got thru. Was the Fed Ex Logo.

    My trucks have been busy.

    It surely isn't a bed of roses to have your own authority..I know from experience. It was not with an expedited truck.. just a Tractor pulling a van trailer. If you get your own customers and not deal with brokers you may be ok. Brokers are a pain in the you know where.. Lying , cheating...

    Seat Belt Question

    We have one of those restraints that you can fasten when you are in the bunk.. I have used it a few times and feel safer than when I don't. I keep telling my hubby I don't want to go thru the windshield if you has to slam on brakes etc.

    Reefer Relocation Charge

    ATeam said : We are not in a mood to worry about much of anything today. This morning, we paid off the truck. It was purchased in June, 2006, with a healthy down payment that we saved up while driving fleet owner trucks, and paid for 23 months later. Congratulations Ateam.. that's quite an...

    Vueqube Satellite

    We also have this on our truck. It is mounted with a bracket like a Quallcom is mounted with. We have had no problems with it. It doesn't work going down the road as it is not an inmotion system. Yes, the rain will effect the picture as do all other satellites. very happy with our vuecube

    The State of Cargo Van Expediting

    I have to agree with the others ..expediting is NO place for a man with 2 small children. A dads place should be at home with his kids until they get up in age. It pains me to leave my grandchildren behind..I couldn't imagine leaving my child. Please don't misunderstand.. I am not...
