Hey Pelicn congrats on 28 years of marriage! I got a great chuckle out of spending your anniversary in Laredo and admire you for not insisting on a special occasion to celebrate the day! We have also spent some funny anniversary days together and I am sure when we were married at 17 I had...

Jeanie I agree with having your dog on a leash. It is so darn frustrating when you take your dog out for a walk and have dogs running uncontrolled over to see your dog. Molly is just about blind and she very seldom sees a dog running at her until they are about on top of her. Often the dog...

Before you spend the money as a solo driver and buy a CR unit I would do a lot of research. I would find out what the wait is to get into WG and how many reefer loads you would be offered as an Express Truck. January is notorious for being slow in good years so that should give you even more...

Many of you have seen Molly and her temperament easy going, no barking and loves people. The site does not like her breed but many of you have tried. Bad Points to Molly and a dog: · Cannot leave the truck for a long period of time to site see · If you leave your truck for...

Piper1 has it exactly right. The truck was a 5 speed automatic and we had the ECM adjusted and made it a six speed. Our transmission shifts at 55 mph to sixth gear so that is why we run 57 mph. We have not seen the printed article yet.

We do the traditional dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas is whatever we feel like that is a little more than usual. This year our daughter is making her homemade lasagna and it is awesome.

Pelicn I thought it was just me or the areas we have been in. I love looking at Christmas lights and have missed seeing them.

Sounds like January the vans will be getting a raise. I hope the pay gets better and you start getting a lot more offers as FCC becomes more competitive.

I have not noticed any difference in the service yet. Could have been lucky on the areas we have been in as we have stayed in the highly populated areas.

India can you re write the recipe on how you made it and we will get it added to our recipes for the book. Sure sounds good we will try when we are at home. I wonder could you use the pre made crusts and microwave in the truck or do you have to use the stove? What about one of those toaster...

Here is the original recipe: I found this old recipe from Prarysun on 8/2006 might be interesting to try this one out! RE: To Fry or not to Fry Breakfast Pizza is my favorite and if you do one at home you can freeze individual pcs and heat them up in the micro. I buy a ready cooked large...

We had an extra set of VIN numbers made for the truck and put them on our pallet jack. Good ideas on the load bars.

Bob changed our tensioner at 400,000 miles and carries it as a spare. We also about had the belt problem since the serpentine belt is so hard to find so we have a spare of that. I believe the tensioner is just one weaker item on the M2.

01/01/07 – 12/16/07: 177 runs 01/01/08 – 12/16/08: 135 runs Our income has went up 7% over last year’s income and our miles ran has went down 4% so over all we consider this a good year. We have found we are pre dispatched more often this year and that has hurt our load count but increased our...

Joe, that will be a problem and I hope the roads are clear when you have to make that drive.

Glad you have enjoyed your time off! The new box sounds great and you sure did pick a slow time to be off. Sure hope after the first of the year it picks up and we run out behinds off.

How many years in the future do we have to keep paying for the past?

What area of the country do you live in? If you live in the NE your chances would be better to do well as a solo. Panther not excepting solo's in a good sign of how busy the industry as a whole is right now. If I was looking at getting into this business as a solo and in this economy I...

It seems to be slow everywhere right now for all companies and all sizes of trucks. First thing I would suggest you do is call your contract coordinator and see if FCC will relocate you to a better express center. Another thing you could do is check the run counts for today in different...
