Glad to have you back out here lisalewis. That is an amazing story and glad you are here to tell about it. Hope to see the two of you on down the road.

For the most part most drivers don't buy their own fuel so you will get strange looks. They are also the same ones that blow by you going down the interstate and wasting fuel they didn't buy. We use Power Service in the gray bottle mix 1/2 oz per gallon and this will gain us 1/2 to 3/4 better...

Another great reason to go to MATS. We cannot wait to see the truck and the interior. Rich you and the truck will be the hit of the show!

We also know we pick up van freight but as Terry has mentioned it will be disguised as a C load. We do not know how the customer called in the freight so really do not have a clue if this problem is caused by the carrier or the shipper. We have also been into places that should only allow B...

Hey Truckergirl You two better be at the Expo!! Lots of people sure would like to make your acquaintances. You will do fine on your test just stay calm.

This is also a great reminder that we need to get involved with Highway Watch. We ordered our packet from http://www.highwaywatch.com/ and found the DVD very interesting and enlightening. Will this class be offered at Louisville or the Expo?

I agree the purpose is not to keep intruders out but to keep valuables safe. The thoughts of losing all of computer records due to our computer being thrown into the mud or any other thing that can happen to it is a very scary thought.

We have heard if a few accidents lately and started discussing keeping our important papers safe. We are going to purchase a fire proof lock box to put our passports in and a few other important papers we have in the truck. In case of an accident and all of possessions end up in the mud or god...

We are using John Turner out of Houston TX. You may have heard him on the Dave Nemo show as he is a regular. We have really appreciated the questions he asks about out business. He will work with you on any level you are comfortable with. The company has all ready saved us enough to pay...

ddperki We have to be there at 4:00 in the morning and then after the little mistake of taking this load we are heading east to the truck show! Would love to meet you guys but we sure have a long way to go and only a short time to get there!

Sitting in San Antonio Texas waiting to pick up a load going to Tucson AZ!

situation the truck was depreciated incorrectly and if we where to have had a audit we would have lost all the way around. There is not a good reason to not figure perdiem in correctly when your primary business is truck accounting. Another driver recommended this company and we have been very...

We also use the 12 hour schedule 2:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We have been doing this for a long time and have had really good results. We know every day what our schedule is and when we get a load we know exactly whose turn it is to drive. We both get sleep during the night which helps us. All of...

A word of caution on ATBS from our experiences. We used them our first year with our new truck. The first problem that we found out at the end of the year was our estimated taxes where figured wrong and we paid in more then 6000.00 then we needed to. We immediately started looking for a new...

You know I will admit I thought of just blowing the horn. I will admit I was in shock and just turned away. I think in retrospect I should have reacted harsher but I really believe and still believe nothing would have been done. The thing is though I didn't find out that so next time I will...

Congratulations Steve!

LOL x06col You are right about height and width. The barn door opening though is smaller then our opening. We have had a couple of instances where we needed every inch we could get. We have a philosophy, have every thing you can so you will have the most opportunities for more freight.

We have barn doors and our next truck will have barn doors. We also have a problem with them wanting to come unlatched and swing when moving. Bob has devised a tarp strap that he always uses on the doors to keep them open. We have been given loads because our opening was large enough to...

Our prayers or with her and all drivers involved in that horrific accident.

Logging software and paperlogs are on their way out and EOBR's are on their way in! This is going to be the wave of the future.
