    Let's Talk Deadheading home!

    FedEx is supposed to have something like hometime and backhaul but it depends on who you talk to. When I was out west for three months, I was told that it would be no problem finding something to cover part of the fuel back towards home. Then when I needed to get home, I was told 'nope just for...

    "Turbo D Vada 3000 – Makes engine run more efficiently" Got mine installed and it has done nothing for me, everything I am recording is like it wasn't there. I feel that it is like others things like alarms, peace of mind. I wonder who has a FASS or pure flow system? The former has not been...

    No not at all. I hope this clarifies something; growing into the position can and does happen often while jumping into it lessens the chances of meeting those goals. read on... I am getting interrupted a lot as I type..... What it comes down to it, the statement that has been made more than...

    C.o.l.a

    OK Dave hit it on the head; “Liken it to the entertainment/music industry. Many put out a successful first album/CD. That is much different than the ones that continue past the first and remain successful. Maybe one out of ten at best.” It is not about who is considered successful but...

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    Nothing personal on my end, can't say that about a few out there in EO land. My questions are legit, my curiosity is legit. I just wish they be answered.

    Oil consumption

    When I was down at DD I didn't get to ask about oil but I know that Lucas is not on their list of things to use. I think the one guy said it is like throwing in a gallon of tallow.

    Increase MPG

    Slow Down, it is that simple. OH and if you can, bring in the truck to get the HP pulled back some by reprogramming the ECM. And then slow down.

    C.o.l.a

    I don't agree, rates are contractual. When you say dependent contractor you mean one who takes orders and can't refuse anything.

    Costs as a Percentage of Revenues

    Steve, I have asked this question before and never got a straight answer. What can an accountant who specializes in Trucks do specifically in comparison to one who does not?

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    OK Phil, here is where differing opinions come of a forum come into action, I don't view it as a school, far from it. A forum is an information source and one that has emotion added in. Look around, there are more opinions than factual examples, I posted what I made, where is yours? (No need to...

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    Phil, don't be surprised, I am trying to get answers to help people. I understand the EO workshops but I don't see the truck shows. The people, who are they? anyone specific? and yes I say a lawyer and an accountant but I wasn't thinking of them. So what are the publications? got specifics...

    Women in Trucking

    Dave, I think that it has nothing to do with what you mentioned but it is something akin to the directions they give in a small town; 'take a left at Lee's farm…..it isn't lee's farm now but they moved out of there in 1908 we just call it Lee’s farm because the Lee’s built the house there...

    Yes, We're considering FedExCC in "bad times"

    I don't think you offended anyone, some of us don't want to offend you. My advice, which a lot of the times go against the grain of other's advice and seems to work in other industries that have a lot less liability involved. I would rather look like a fool preaching the same thing over and...
