    Gearing up for the Expedite Expo

    The benefit vendors get from mingling and getting to know drivers comes back in big ways as we talk amongst ourselves about products we use. Most of the recruiters miss out on this great opportunity. Years ago Landstar had a cookout after an Expo and invited any drivers they saw wandering...

    Gearing up for the Expedite Expo

    I like the ideas of spot something odd, or the scavenger hunt. This could take place inside and in the parking lot outside at various participating booths. The vendors could decide if they wanted to participate and then go from their on that special hidden treasure or object would have to be...

    Looking for some cooking ideas

    Cheri it looks like you can control the temperature a little better then we can with the Rice Cooker from what I saw. I have not seen one yet as I keep forgetting to look.... Old age I guess I am still happy with my Rice Cooker that I have had for 7 years. Still using the original one and it...

    Bicycle on Board

    We are a dry box and do not have the problem of the moisture or that type of freight. We though ran into the problem of having our box sealed often and could not get to our bikes which is why i suggested the belly boxes. We have an area at the front of our box that is our space and we have...

    Bicycle on Board

    I would suggest keeping the bikes in your personal space or buy folding bikes and keep them in a tool box. If you keep them in your personal space in the box of the truck keep them covered and secured we never had any problems. Here are a couple of sites: This is a group of drivers on...

    Looking for some cooking ideas

    I like the size of the Kitchen Kettle and that it is easy to adjust the temperature. I had never heard of this and goggled it and did a little reading. I like it and will check it out next time I am in a store. Kitchen Kettle

    There are no more C D B signs. The signs are made to fit the size of the box or the van.

    Fedex Flagship from MATS finally hits the road

    I am sure you guys will enjoy the ride, the quietness, and the roominess of not only the cab but the sleeper. The truck and sleeper combination is really amazing. We put our pusher axle down at about 2000-lbs of freight which does not happen often. We are a dry box and that make a big...

    A Re-Branding Question

    I did a little research today and this is the information I received: To be branded and receive the incentive, vehicles must be all white (cab, sleeper and box) with no other markings on the vehicle. Vehicles with cabs or boxes any other color than white will not receive the branding package...

    A quick "tech" related question

    I agree with Turtle.... We have had the same printer/scanner in the truck for over seven years with no problems. We do not send or receive faxes we get or send emails. We have saved ourselves many miles with our ability to print what we need in the truck. We have had customers say they would...

    Things You Need to Ask

    A great way to ask the questions, to talk to other drivers, and talk to truck dealers is to attend the Expedite Expo. The Expo is crawling with drivers for fleet owners, O/O, recruiters for most of the Expedite Companies. Come prepared to ask a lot of questions and take notes. Attend the...

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    Watch trucks that go by and notice what how their mud flaps are behaving... Many people put anti sail holders on the mud flaps which is another indication of how much air they are catching. Either trim them up to match the width of the tires or change them... Start looking when a truck or...

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    There are many trucking companies going to the AirTabs and I am constantly surprised when I see them on company trucks. The latests one I have seen are on Long Haul Trucking trucks and some I have started seeing are on tankers.

    Air Tabs and mud flaps. Do they work or a waste of coin?

    Anything that flaps in the wind or blocks the wind affects fuel mileage. One of the first things we put on our new truck was AirTabs as they work.

    The trailer belongs to Becky and Alan who live in Texas and had dropped their trailer off at Great Dane. They were not in Dallas when the tornadoes went through and they are OK. They are still waiting to hear if there is anything left of their reefer trailer.
