Find your way to the back of the staore,they get Big trucks delivering all the time. Sounds like you have been laying over too long .One of the things I do is to fill out a Generic Bill Of Lading ( which you can buy a package at office depot etc) for that particular Wal Mart you are at.Have...

I fail to see what!s unethical about trying to make a living.You would have had to stay up all night,if you did get a chance to sleep it would have been at 65 MPH bouncing along.On Thursday I had a long chat with Contractor Relations (lol) and brought up among other things the TPS rates.I was...

Weave is absolutely 100% correct,When my wife and I run as a team we do quite well,even though we earn it. Every so often I will operate as a single driver for a few weeks and income is about 65% less.They have what they call TPS runs that we are supposed to get all excited about,pay is about...

Rumors going around that Geo has left Fedex CC,any truth to that George??

In October I will have been with Fedex CC (Roberts Express miss that name for sure) 15 years.I am on my 3rd truck with them and probably will get another new one in a year or two. I have been in the White Glove Division for 8 years.White Glove is a specialized group that hauls delicate,special...

I carry in the back of the truck a fold up bicycle,It is made by a company called DAHON (www.dahon.com).. It weighs about 20 lbs and folds up in half,takes up very little space.It cost about $160 ,and it is great to take out and bike around a park or even a shopping mall lot. After a long run it...

I would give it more than 3 weeks.It probably takes about 6 months before you really know how the company operates and there policies.Such as when and where to layover,the main traffic lanes ,the various dispatchers etc.Sad to say as the previous post said favortism exists,but sometimes when you...

We have used Enterprise from time to time,but you can save about $10-15 per day if you go to a local U Haul rental place.I have found that they will usually let you park your truck there and you can rent a small pickup or van for about $19.99 or less per day.Enterprise seems to come in at about...

Question for Weave or anyone else who has experienced a lot of Black Smoke pouring out when the engine is working hard, when climbing a 6% grade at about 7000-9000 feet.Last month I spent a lot of time out west and while climbing up I 17 near Flagstaff AZ a trucker behind me said I was really...

Now Eric,do you think you will sleep better down in the bottom of the ship vs a Flying J??No diesel noise or fumes just laundry machines running 24 hours,Of course you might meet someone interesting at the bandstand and she may invite you for a nightcap in her cabin,but that interlude may be...

If you look in the front of the Rand McNally Atlas it will give you the state by state restrictions.I believe North Carolina is still at 35 feet for a staight truck and a year or so ago they were giving violations for overlenght trucks.My D unit is 39 Feet long and I have never had a problem..

What you are looking at used to be called MEDI-QUIP Express,At one time it was a division of Roberts Express (Now FDX CC),then the companies were merged into a holding company called Caliber,Medi Quip became Caliber Express or Logostics. They only handle drugs pharmacuticals etc.I looked into it...

I agree about Fern Bennet being a nightmare a couple of years ago.I think she took on a large fleet at the last minute and pushed all of us to the side,however last year I had no problems other then the fact that she wanted a wire tranfser to her bank account.That cost me $38.00 in addition to...

Bill if you can send me your phone # I can put you in touch with a guy who knows how to hook up auxillary devices to the qualcomm.My E mail is [email protected] last time we chatted ,weren!t you with Landstar?

There is no special protocol,just be yourself. There are lots of good folks on this forum,but sometimes activity slows down.this is the best forum for advice etc,so stay tuned in..

Just like never home.we came home took the week off,enjoyed the time out of the truck,dropped $470.00 to the local Freightliner dealer.for minor work with a labor rate of $69.00 per hour. Ready to get back in the swing of things.don!t know why but we get along much better when out on the...

I havn!t paid a ATM fee in years.What I do when I need cash is to go to a Walmart,Meiers,Supermarket etc,purchase something that I need ,then pay for it with a ATM Card and get cash back.There is no charge for this service,so even if you need a $2.00 item in Walmart you can get cash back up to...

Try Bennet Transportation, 1-888-848-7315,very loose operation,no forced dispatch etc,pays about .70 per loaded miles + tolls. You will need a 1/2 to 1 ton pickup...I have met 2 contractors who drive for them and they semmed quite content with the company plus operations..Good luck

I along with many others use OK.I live in FL and when I bought my present truck I save about $3700 ,by not having to pay sales taxes. There are a lot of agencies that will do the registration for a fee. I use the Fern Bennet Agency out of Oklahoma City.
