I sure hope it ends soon. I don't want to make my next truck payment, house payment and I REALLY don't want to see the upcoming election!!!! LOL Layoutshooter

I Don't think I would use MapQuest for trucks if they had it. I find that MapQuest has more mistakes in it than most anything else I have tried. We have Delorme in the truck. It seems to have fewer mistakes than Streets and Trips and has more of the features that we are looking for. I bought an...

How does a O/O (one truck) account for the income/taxes on that business? Do you pay yourself a 1099 and the business pay it's own taxes or do you just pay it all yourself? Should a single truck be totaly split off from the household taxes? My CPA says that a total split is not needed for a...

I am having the SAME problems with my PROHEAT. I will look into the better belts. I have broke two in 8 months. It does not cool well when it is really hot. The heater works great. The evaporator/condenser etc just had to be replaced. Lucky on that one. There was still 1 1/2 months left on the...

I used to sell GPS units, mainly for marine use. Many could handle *chips* that had navigation charts on them. I sold what was at that time a top of the line unit to a guy with a 45ft boat. He had it installed professionllly. All was right and good with the world, or so I thougt. I had told him...

I make sure that I run treated fuel through the APU and Reefer units from time to time. I always use winter blend treatment from mid-Sept thru mid-May. Sometimes longer if needed. Running that treated fuel through the other engines keeps the lines and filters from gelling up. I have not yet had...

My wife and I got our own licences and signed on with an owner. We were lucky to find an honest one who helped us learn this business and put up with our rookie mistakes. We remain friends with them even though we now own our own truck. We still get advice from them and even pass on things that...

The presidents job IS forgien policy and Comander in Chief, NOT, internal affairs. That is mainly the job of the Congress. And as for the INTELL CRAP, you sorry so and so, you would most likely be dead, goose stepping, using chop sticks or be locked up in a Goolog if it were not for us...

My wife told me she asked that same question from FedEx Safety when we where there last. They told her that The sleeper and off duty time count towards your 34 hours reset. Layoutshooter

I can't wait to hear more on this one. We almost always stay in the sleeper. It cuts down alot on the motel bills. I have never heard that it was not allowed.

The president in onlyh part of it. The congress funds the military and intell services. They have NOT been honest with the American people for the last 30 years that I know of. They have been under funding for at least that long. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THEY SAY!!!! They do not take your best interest...

And don't forget the one other thing required to be a White Glove driver, you have to be cool!!!! LOL Layoutshooter

FedEx also requires thier T-Val drivers to train on the systems every 18 month. We hope to do that soon. Our truck is now set up for T-Val but we are not. Layoutshooter

Who are you leased with? Overall I think teams will always do better than solo's, at least in my opinion. They seldom have logging problems. We are a White Glove team. Miles per week means little to us. What counts is how much do we make. We often make more on shorter loads depending on what...

We WILL be attacked again, when, who knows? I spent 20 years in the intell business. 3 years in the Army Security Agency(now disbanded) and 17 with the National Security Agency. We would stand a much better chance of stopping these things if we were ever to take our intell needs seriouslly. I...

Very interesting, BUT, since in can't read or write spelling is not important!!! Layoutshoote

We have been running for almost 3 years, most of it White Glove. Our loads have varied in weight from an 11 ounces to 16,000lbs. 85% of our loads are between 400-6000lbs. We are a reefer truck. So far it has paid for itself, we shall see over the long term. A liftgate is almost a must if you are...

Thanks, I will look into it. Layoutshooter

We would not be without a lift-gate. Right now we are White Glove but would have one even if we were not. It really keeps us working. Gets us both White Glove and Express loads. It is something else. The more things your truck can do the more you work. Will always have a pallet jack too. That...

My laptop runs very slow. One reason is Norton Internet Security. There are better virus progams that are free but they do not have firewalls. Is there a really good software firewall other than the Norton/Mcaffe? What about routers? Is there a hardware solution to the problem? Like a...
