    Have You Undergone an IRP Audit? What Was it Like?

    Trucking's Operational Costs Continue to Rise

    Yup... Instead of a muffler worth $150, we now have a "system" that's something like $15,000 or some such a crazy figure. We need some hope and change!! I really hope that will change, but...

    I use the Drivers Daily Log program so I'm stuck with the laptop. If they come up with a cloud based version I'll take a serious look at the Ipad.

    Options for "small scale" expediting

    There are carriers that have pick-ups, but not all of them. Express 1 is one that I've seen with pick-ups.
