As many of you know and some of you dont, I am back into one of my trucks. That is the case for many many many reasons. One of those reasons is I just like it. However in my current situation with that truck I have no signage all over the box which is wonderful but now I am in the mood for some...

This is a Post just to vent and to let all know who watch ebay I am placing the item on there in a few minutes if you may wish to bid. I use MicroSoft Streets and Maps in my truck on my LapTop.

Now be careful and do not answer that title question like you really want too. :) I have a number of computers here at home for business reasons and I have a laptop that is in my truck. The only time I can use the web is while here at home. I know many of you do this from the road and I am...

After seeing the locked thread I thought I would jump in here to try and give my picture of Expediting. To begin with I think the test that LDB and others refer to is exactly what you should try as a married couple looking into this business. Living in a truck is for very few people. If it...

I have brought this up before without success but do wish to run it up the pole one more time. I know many folks do not have the CB on due to what it has become and I do understand. I would like to say it would be helpful in heavy traffic for folks to have these on as many times traffic is...

I have a question since I have finally seen it put in print. There is a post on here asking if a wife can go in the truck even though she does not have CDL's. I hear people say this all the time. CDL's. I have been in this business a while now, been in trucking of some sort for many years, talk...

I want to put my 23 cents in here on the signiture line and experience. As I stated somewhere else on here, I do see a benefit to this and as I read the posts from others I see where it makes no difference. My feeling is that a lot of the business questions posted on here can be answered by...

I want to apoligize to a couple of Panther Cargo Van drivers. They had to do a cross dock last night and as it turns out it was right where I parked one of my trucks. I held them up for about an hour would be my guess. By the time I got dressed drove over there and got the frozen thing to start...

The truck in INDY for the transmission is just about ready to roll. He should be able to leave his warm hotel room just in time to drive off into a snow storm. He is so happy to get moving it really does not seem to bother him. I can tell from his food bill he will not eat as well as he has in...

As I asked the other day about the HUT sticker, I now have a further question. I have another truck which is running and will be dropping in Cincinnati Monday morning. She will then come here at which time I will put all her new permits on the truck for 2005. Will she have any trouble at...

Many of you know or saw that I was looking for help to get a truck in for a valve adjustment. I have been trying for weeks. I have asked around and I have tried to do this everywhere the truck has been and even in my home town. No luck. I went to see Frank Bauer at FYDA In Cincinnati. Told him...

I am sure everyone gets a little uneasy when they are pulling up to the scale. Am I the one? Is this my day to go around back? When we see those cars on the roads no matter how clean we are it makes you just hair nervous, if even only for a second. Well one thing to keep in mind and that is the...

Just wanted to post a note for all to see. I have had my trucks pull in without notice at Detroit office of Alumi Bunk three or four times and I have always got very quick service. Yesterday was no different. One of my trucks had a load that dropped at 5:00a.m. near Detroit. He unloaded then...
