    US Express Suprises Drivers

    USX does not have the on time pickup and delivery that Expediting has and they are also famous for using drop yards. They also do not have the extra touches we provide such as lift gate, inside pickup and delivery, pallet jack, blanket wrap, nor do they have reefers. Most of our customers are...

    How many Hours a day?

    We went back in service on December 30th and we have had 4 loads so I guess we are not doing so bad.

    Fuel Discounts

    So far we must be staying in the right part of the country as the TA discount has been just as huge as ever. This is a good reason though to call ahead and find out what the discount is at a TA you are considering then check the prices at the locations around the TA to see which is a better...

    Downy Wrinkle Release

    Yes I know Cheri it was totally nuts to carry and iron and an ironing board but I really do like my t-shirts ironed! Now though I just do not look and very seldom do I get the iron out while on the road anymore unless we are attending meetings.

    Checking Your Stats

    What a surprise to see this post!! I have been in a tizzy over the fact we had a late pickup on our stats posted the first part of December. We made that pickup, did out departure call and were gone before our appointed pickup time. You sure do not want to let a late pickup or delivery stay...

    Downy Wrinkle Release

    I used to carry a steam iron and ironing board what a pain in the behind. I finally left the ironing board at home and now just carry an iron for emergencies. I have also tried a million different ways to fold out clothes but still no luck. We are lucky though our uniforms really are easy to...

    How long?

    Good for you Big John! There is a lot for her to learn that you all ready know and have forgotten how you learned it. You know a lot of short cuts that the rest of us "Newbies" still have to figure out. I hope you have the chance to show her all of your favorite places that you have only been...

    US Express Suprises Drivers

    What to mean is interesting is they know that most of their solo people will quit or they will get into a lease purchase and not be able to afford the trucks and lose them. Odd way of cutting back your fleet.

    US Express Suprises Drivers

    Wow that is amazing and scary! I wonder what will happen with all of the guys that ride with their wives? Lots of those solo trucks have a passenger with them.

    Guitar Hero

    How many of you have one or just got one for Christmas? The girls got this for Bob to play with our Wii and we are having a blast with it. We are still wimps and just use three keys but someday there will be progress. Great game to play in the truck while you are watching it snow or it is...

    Lookout Wally World

    The concept sounds interesting. So many people are sick of Wal-Mart that I can see them having a pretty good chance of making it. We will sure give it a try if we see one and they will allow a truck to park on their lot.

    How long?

    I think from even before you get your first truck or start driving you will be valued on this website as we all have different backgrounds that can help each other or offer insight. I have also managed to lock us out of the truck but now due to idling. I have to ask why you leave your truck...

    How to get your own authority

    Another thought that scares me about getting your own authority is the amount of brokers filing bankruptcy. You and your bill will be on the bottom of the list to get paid. I would think you would need a large emergency fund to get you started and a few of your own customers so you would not...

    Short Arms, Clean Windshields

    The inside of our windshield is hard to clean also on the truck so I can only imagine how bad it must hurt your shoulders. Great idea.

    Seal on truck

    Steve you are right this is not rocket science. The idea of a seal is an added protection to keep the cargo safe that you are responsible for. If you leave the shipper with a seal and you have not sealed the truck you are putting yourself in jeopardy. When Bob drove for USX every load was...

    A real newbie

    Oh Cheri cannot wait to meet her! Molly is tentatively interested as long as she does not move to fast as she cannot keep up with her.
