Terry, You are quickly becoming my best friend! Maybe you should start charging me for the great ifo you have provided to this new guy. I found the AAA info: Eligible Vehicles Basic: Service applies to all properly licensed four-wheeled motor driven vehicles of the passenger, pleasure or...

We have always had debt no matter who is in office. The debt created during the Clinton years was the result of an over inflated stock market. Stocks were trading at unrealistic rates! Everybody was getting fat and the credit card debt was at an all time high. Nobody heeded the warnings of...

Really? That is very interesting. My AAA info didn't seem to offer assistance to commercial vehicles. They don't freak out when they show up and see company logo on the van? I wonder if their coverage is posted online. Thanks my friend. Sitting in Louisville, KY waiting on freight.

Need some input from you pros out there. As a former road warrior sales consultant I was in the habit of using AAA for roadside assistance. Obviously, AAA does not respond to commercial vehicle calls. Just curious as to how others have handled breakdowns, flat tires, etc. Any companies...

Thanks to SilverDollar for the info!

Any body know of a good tax person in the Dayton, Ohio area who is familiar with the trucking industry?

Please allow me to apologize for one incorrect statement regarding the snafu with Trucker’s No Helper. John is correct in saying that he did not contact me. I just found out that it was a competing salesperson who had offered a free demo also. When I received that follow up call, I was just...

Hey, I lived on the other side of the fence for a number of years. No, I am not proud that I was never incarcerated for operating outside of the confines established by fair and just laws. In fact, I am ashamed to have ever lived such a wicked life. That said, I know that corruption and graft...

Yes, you can worship in your truck. I would ask that we consider what saith the scriptures. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; I think the Lord is very clear that He wants us to worship with other Christians. Personally, I need the...

Certainly I would agree that there is no perfect system. There is no utopia. Trials and tribulations will come. Personally, I am struggling to keep myself in the black as we speak. I made the personal choice to enter the expediting business during a slow period. Yep, went right out a bought a...

This was an initial purchase for me. I wasn't topping off the tranny fluid in Florida. Just in for an oil change, but service folks should check all fluid levels. I just was surprised that a GM Service Tech didn't have Dextron IV available and didn't even know that the 2006 models use Dextron...

I was asked to post some information about the 2006 Chevy Express Van with the Duramax Diesel. At 6,000 miles I am averaging 21.0 mpg. Largest load to date was 1,000lbs going to Grand Rapids, MI. Mileage was the same. I usually run between 65-70mph. Here is the van configuration: 2006...

Point well taken. Let me restructure my comment. If you don't like the organization with which you are contracting, simply go elsewhere. Now, that's America. It is a privilege (not a right) that few others enjoy in this world. Remember, it always takes two willing participants to consummate...

Thanks for the offer. I had to actually restore to a previous date to get rid of their flawed program.

Normally, I don't sweat the small stuff, but these guys really pushed my blood pressure to new limits! They are trying to market a product. Great! And that what a free market system is all about. Of course, there should be reasonable expectations on both sides of any transaction. I accepted...

That's wierd. I was referred to Tri-State by one of their best drivers and they told me there was a freeze on cargo vans until sometime in March.

Screwed by BigBiz???? How can that happen in free society such as ours? Are their balls and chains being placed on the legs of workers? Do armed guards have checkpoints set up along the highways? Are the police stopping you and making you wait until you slip them a $10 bill? Reality check...

Most companies have a hold on cargo vans at this point in time. Recruiters will tell you that they are not adding any additional cargo vans. I'd go for the schooling! As others have wisely said, "You will have more options."

I've sampled a few of the software logs. They are very time consuming and tech support is lacking when you are in a demo mode. That always makes me consider how it will after I have purchased the software. Hmmmm. Anybody got a suggestion for handwritten expense books?

Beside the obvious search for the Flying J's, Petro's, TA's, Pilot's, Love's, etc., is there list of of fuel locations that offer diesel? I tried several internet searches, but I haven't found anything yet. I would appreciate your input.
