    It's a Team's Life Blinded by the light

    It's a Team's Life It’s not worth the hassle

    You don’t think brokers/drivers play favorites? Think again.

    It's a Team's Life Figuring Expenses Per Mile /Per Day

    Start the year off right by knowing your expenses are per mile or per day.... Write down your starting odometer at the first of the year, first of the month, or even first of the week if you want to micromanage.

    It's a Team's Life Last day of 2018

    This is the day I like to look back over the year at major accomplishments and things that didn’t go as planned.... Not a lot of time is spent looking back over the year as is spent on how to make 2019 a better year. What did not go as well as expected in 2018 and what can be improved on for...

    It's a Team's Life Agents – Brokers – Customers do they have favorites?

    I should think so and they most likely use their “favorites” before using an unknown truck. I was talking to an agent the other day about the system we use, the different size trucks he works with, and the different computer systems that make his job difficult. Luckily for us, he goes the...
