Greg,if I'm not mistaken,a pad wrap load is one of the criteria to make it W/G.There are times when a surface agent gets the call and doesn't know it. None the less,you do what ever it takes to keep the customer happy.if it's a surface load and you have the pads,make him happy and call in...

I'm starting to feel like a real expediter now,sitting here on detention time,reading EO,and posting some of my opinions,oh by the way,taking advantage of my Verizon,want to say air card,but is a USB thingy. Think I'm going to check out some of the food places here in shopping center.See an...

If you notice,in a construction zone,when it says trucks use left lane,it' usually cause the right lane is actually the shoulder of the road,and isn't meant for heavy vehicles to drive on. Myself,I drive usually 5 under posted speed in construction zones.Let one of those workers step out in...

Don't know what that company was,but if it was FDCC,and a W/G load,blanket wrap was already figured in their pay,and if it were a surface truck,they probably wouldn't have had pads anyway.By the way,if a load needs blanket wrapped,it would be a W/G load,although there have been times when I...

Can you really afford to operate a T Val truck at $1.35/mile?Have you checked on amount of sitting time you will be doing? Sometimes the numbers are fooling.There are Surface expedite trucks at FDCC that make more than the T Val.trucks.There are also some T Val D units that make more than T Val...

When I see a uniformed drive,no matter what the company,the just look more professional,do they get more loads,doubt it,but attitude does play a big deal in this business.If being in uniform,and with a good attitude,a driver may be asked in preference to another driver from the same company...

I'd like to put some good answers on this subject,but I was taught,if you can't say anything good,don't say anything.

Did trade show many years ago in San Diego.Show was for a week,so my co-driver and I went on a deep sea fishing trip.Found it in yellow pages,we spent week end on the Pacific,off the shores of Mexico

The trucking industry has a very good perk,you get to see the country,but in expediting,this is taken to another level.As because of the nature of expediting and not being loaded every day,you get time to actually see the many great places others just have time to drive through. Many in the...

Kevin,better call back haul,your only chance,oops your too heavy for those loads. In case your worried about me,7 pay checks since I started here,$38000,guess there is life after FDCC

Kevin ,just rent a car and drive home. I guess Ive been so busy that no one else has any loads. They even call me when truck is in the shop.Like tomorrow.AC froze up and took out alternator belt,so back in shop for AC again.Had to turn down going from Pittsburgh to Mississippi,and Mississippi to...

Not sure about the vans and straight trucks,but most of your class 8 trucks,when wheel alignment is perfect, will pull slightly to the right.This does have a slight affect on the right tire,as in most cases it will wear faster than the left.The reason of the pull to the right,is suppose to be a...

Since I became a truck driver, over 30 years ago,before expediting,and since,I have been places and seen things most people don't get to see in a life time.I get paid to be on a constant vacation. In the beginning I was like a tourist,from pictures of the state line markers,to carrying my...
