    I really thought we had sent one from Minnesota but it must have got lost in the mail. We have looked in two different places here in Indiana and have had not luck finding a card. We will keep trying though. Tell Diane thanks!

    What the heck does color have to do with this election? The issues are the problems and I do not what to "Share the Wealth" especially my wealth.

    Straight Truck Tire Chains

    If you will look closely at emergency vehicles and also school buses that have to drive in adverse weather you will often see them equipped with automatic chains. They are rather expensive but can sure help get you out of a bind. You can activate the automatic chains from inside the cab. The...

    Law Enforcement believe Riots Will Happen

    Well I hate to admit this but while we are looking for a house the proximity of health care is a consideration. On the road and ease of getting into Wal-Marts mean more than they should to us but when we are at home and we have choices going to Wal-Mart is a very low priority.

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    OTM I am sure you are correct in that statement but with the FSC the original contract can stay in place for the full term and then be renegotiated.

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    When I finally had an epiphany of why we have a FSC and it was a huge eye opener. I also thought that why have a FSC just charge the customer a certain price and get on down the road. When I finally realized that the loads are not booked one at a time but can be hundreds at a time and they are...

    FSC and publicly traded companies

    One thing you forget to mention is that FedEx Custom Critical also pays us a FSC no matter what. If the customer does not pay a FSC we still get one. We get FSC after we deliver to where we are authorized to go wait for next load which sometimes in the west can be several hundred miles. There...

    Panther Fuel Discounts :)

    Same here at FCC if you price shop the TA's using the 800 number you will be amazed at the price differences. You though also need to be aware of the fuel taxes in each state. No matter what you get the discount that the TA you are stopping at offers. We have a little more work though to...

    OPS 1 Oil Savings

    We have a Cat C7 and we did not have the synthetic oil to begin with we just went to that. Every time Bob changes the oil filter he has to add a quart. We do not use oil anymore so very seldom does he have to add any. We add so little oil Bob feels more comfortable changing the oil filter...

    Panther Fuel Discounts :)

    Our discounts are not shown on the receipt which is what causes some people at FCC to not realize they are getting the discount. The easiest way for us to see our discount is to log on to T-Chek's web site.

    Taking care of our fellow drivers

    With our truck when you turn the lights off you turn all of the lights off. You have no clearance lights left on you just become a black hole. I have quit turning our lights off and did start doing a quick flash of my lights. I figured out quickly I do not like a flash of bright lights in my...

    Break Down Help

    A friend told us about this site: http://truckdown.com/ The sad part is we got to try it out! We were in Richmond KY and while Bob was greasing the truck he found we had a wheel seal leaking. After we got unloaded we used truckdown to find a really great local shop that was able to replace...

    OPS 1 Oil Savings

    Original cost of OPS1 was $600.00 which we bought last year. We figure we have saved about $2200.00 since we have purchased the unit by not having to change our oil as often. We finally changed our Oil due to TBN getting low. We replaced our oil with Mobil Delvac 1 fully synthetic. We had...
