I have just finished reading this book and I am an IDIOT! People are Idiots and I can Prove IT! By Larry Winget He is a self professed aggravation speaker and I believe at this time he is at the top of his game and in high demand all over the world. If you like fluffy touchy feely books...

Yep the letter of the load means nothing the PPM is what I want to see. We really do not haul many B loads that are offered as a B load. Year before last I kept track of how many loads were offered as a C load that were not HazMat but would fit into a van. Without knowing if the customer...

Wow I hope your luck does not rub off on us! Gotta love our life style!!

We have Sprint, AT&T and also Cingular and I believe Sprint has the best coverage of them all. They all have areas they do not work well in still but that is getting further and further between. We added a Wilson wireless booster to our truck last year and it is really amazing. You still do...

In a lot of ways the broker load and the load opps are the same. If the bottom line is not enough to run the load you say no. The load opps and the broker freight are the same as you are not penalized by saying no to either.

Hey Dreamer you spring chicken you Happy Birthday! Bob and I hope you have a really special day! Thanks for all you do on here to keep it sane!

I am confused now on who is hauling cheap freight? I think everyone on this thread has mentioned they say no to what is their cheap freight. Each of us has a different base line on what is considered cheap freight it is not an across the board number. If you continue to say yes to freight...

EagleRiverWI - Hate to see you go but man does it sound like you live in a great place.

That is interesting as we have not had this problem. Two mistakes sounds really odd and could be a million reasons. Did you send in those runs at the same TripPak box?

I know we are one of the people DaveKC refers to as a FedEx Custom Critical Cheerleader and I still support our company. Just as DaveKC is a cheerleader for his company as well as OVM is for his company. Our company is still providing us with enough loads to make a good living and we like...

I have found it is just easier to skip over what the x06col is saying as I do not feel like taking the time to figure his cryptic style. Cheri is right if you do not like the way a poster writes just skip that post and move on. There are some really really good opinions posted on EO. Leo has...

The things to ask your parents would be are they in a position in their lives where they can handle the ups and downs of expediting? Getting out of a factory and being out here for your mom sounds like a reprieve from a prison sentence. Your question is very hard to reply to as it...

We have installed the Slush Busters on our daughter’s cars and they both think they are ugly but they like being able to see. At the first sign of Spring Bob peels them off of the truck as they drive him nuts when cleaning the windshield. He though also is the first to put them on and neither...

We have the PC Miler 430 and bought it for the truck HazMat routes. They have many of the interstates in the country marked wrong and many of the roads marked wrong. It is useless to us as a HazMat router and we have found that it finds very few address. We tried to return the Miler and ALK...

India that is true you need to put them on a warm windshield or they will not adhere well. They are awesome when you get into an ice storm. Good Picture!

Hey good luck!! Talk to FCC they just started a great new group plan with tons of choices on insurance. Life and health.

Steve is right a un authorized passenger in the truck is not a good thing. It seems as if every time we pull into a truck stop someone is asking for a ride. If they do not get you in the truck stop they are standing on the ramps with a sign asking for a ride. I know when I rode with Bob we...

When you pull into a scale and are told to go around back and park you have so much time to update your log book before you go into the scale house. The officer gave India a chance to either update her log book or get back into the sleeper where she should have been going through a scale house...

Well you are in the positive and you bought a few things that you will only buy once but not much left over to pay bills. There is a lot to learn when you first start and that also takes a toll on the money situation. Now that you have your feet wet only one way to go and that is up!!! We...

Your company does care as it costs a fortune to train new people. They might not care in the way you think but new trucks and new paperwork day in and day out is a large cost to a carrier. If you check the fleet size of your company, then check how many people go through orientation a week you...
