You seem to have missed a small point. No one was "advanced over Bob and Linda". They have made the informed decision to enjoy the lifestyle of running surface expedite with their furry loved one at their side. Good for them! WG does have it's downside: Expensive equipment, physical labor...

I believe this is a question about safety. If driver one feels that fatigue is affecting the safe performance of their driving abilities and driver two feels refreshed and ready to drive. Switch, regardless of hours. Keeping the most alert and safe driver behind the wheel at all times is...

Thank you for making that point. I would add that most drivers who sign on with a fleet owner are completely clueless that they are taking advantage of anything; therefore, any ill feelings directed toward them is misplaced. It does seem that there are many reasons that it would be in the...

Since this is the Newbie's Paradise Forum I would like to point out some valuable lessons for Newbies to make note of: If you are going to fall behind on payments, call your creditor and try to negotiate terms before it is necessary for them to call you. If you are in constant contact...

I must admit. I did my homework before making a decision to contact an owner who had a truck leased with Fed Ex. I fully understood the concept of White Glove and also understood that it was a privilege to be earned; therefore, it was set as a long term goal for my wife and I. Our plan was...

OR maybe this:

Could be worse:

My wife and I are very happy to be receiving special treatment and would have it no other way. *We are always the first truck dispatched with the highest pay. *The offer comes through on our special private issue blackberry so that none of the other trucks can see it. *We always enjoy a...

That was kind of a tricky way to provide a link to a competing expediting forum. anywho That is complete and total nonsense and drivers should chose to "just say no". I will tell them that I am just to darn tired to be taking any surveys. After all, we all know that the real cause of...

You are correct sir. This is a coast to coast run starting in CA and ending near Bordentown, NJ with several deliveries and pick-ups along the way. Unfortunately, I-70 was a necessary evil in accomplishing the overall goal without a major re-route.

One day, when you are on layover and really, really, really bored. Get the chains out and give it a practice run. After you do it once, it will make sense. Learning on the side of the road, in a snow storm with vehicles splashing slush on you. Not fun.

This was our April 18th spring day: 0800 I-70 east closed at x180 Vail, CO due to snow. 0930 Opened with chains required. 1000 I'm standing there admiring my shiny (never been used) tire chains ready to tackle the mountain. 1000 DOT drives up and shouts "take em off...

BORDENTOWN NJ PETRO THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. We are currently on a CA to NJ multiple pick-up/multiple delivery run that will culminate near Bordentown Wednesday. We always look forward to parking in the (FREE) front lot and meeting other expediters from different carriers. It is usually a...

Did you mean Quit? Sorry, couldn't resist.

That just became a write-in entry to our "Next Exit" guide. Wash for .50 cents while eating at Cracker Barrel. Life is good. :D

Thanks Team C, Just gave it a test run and it could be helpful. We will add it to our tool box. Now, if they were able to tell you about parking . . . Priceless :D

Phoenix, AZ at the J. Waiting . . . . . . . . waiting . . . . . . . . . . . waiting Ok, enough waiting, we are going to Claimjumper for lunch.

We took that exit once. I repeat "once!" It was a lonely feeling heading down that ramp and looking back up at all the other trucks continuing on and completely ignoring the sign. We could have used a good step scout on that one. Here is a suggestion Layshooter: Next time spray some...

9 to 5 boss?? We have found exactly the opposite. They do not micromanage us at all. We are able to run our business and do not feel like there is a "boss". new cats that live in the repair shop?? New Kenworth class 8 equipment with EPA compliant emmission systems. It is now common...

In order to determine if legal action should be taken, a cost analysis needs to be done. I have experience and can help with that: Cost of embarassment . . . . . . . . . $50.00 Cost of medical treatment . . . . . . .$600.00 Value of cute hispanic woman saying your "hot" . . . . . . . ...
