Each time I scan I have to change type to receipts. Is there a way to change this in the setting. I scan many more receipts than documents. I am still learning about the scanner.

I also purchased this at the first of the year. The tip on multi page scanning is a great one. I have started scanning all of our BOL's and some of them are several pages. I look forward to trying this hint. The scanner is super easy to use and I really like being able to scan in a PDF...

How many WG loads do you haul? As long as you are not WG now there are not that many loads you will not be able to do. It seems as if it is mostly the reefer loads that do not allow pets on their property. If you take the dog call your CC and have them add a note to your information. We...

We used the Air Tabs on our old truck for six years and they were one of the first things we added to our new truck. This is a really good article on why to use Air Tabs: An Expediter and his AirTabs

You are right Greg in many aspects. Drivers are able to stay in their trucks and call home, chat with family and friends on the computer and generally stay in touch with loved ones. The bigger sleepers also make it easier to cook in the truck, watch TV in the truck, and generally be very...

I do not think camaraderie is dead and Henry has written a blog about about this subject. Camaraderie has changed with the advent of cell phones. No longer do we walk into a truck stop starved for conversation. When it is need it is alive and well. We have had many instances where another...

Lawrence I believe that was before QC? I have heard HORROR stories of being caught standing in rain storms calling in to FCC to update your position. I have heard stories of sitting inside guarding a pay phone waiting on a call for a dispatch. I have heard of waitresses being paid to get the...

I am reading about the doom and gloom and I think wow everything is really really really bad.... We came through one of the worst economic times to happen in the trucking industry and we are still surviving. I step back away from the doom and gloom and look at my spreadsheets, our...

Exactly we cannot stop change and so we have to change with the changes

I keep hearing the phrase we need to go back to the way it was... I keep thinking back through my life and wondering when was everything perfect? When was there not a time that I wanted to improve something. I would like to know if anyone knows when was the perfect time in Expediting?

The holes in wheels are called Hand Holes or Access Holes to get to the Valve stem and another reason is to make the wheel lighter. The holes having nothing to do with cooling. Black actually dissipates heat better than white. Not many people like black wheels with a black tire. A...

Yes that load more than meet my expenses and puts money in my pocket. That is a good run not a great run.

You are right Phil I am wrong we look at the Qualcomm the same way. We see the same screen no difference. Thank you for pointing this out.

Phil have you ever thought that maybe we as a dry box look at loads different than you do as a T-Val unit?

T-Val appears to have a small base of customers. T-Val is also a lot smaller percentage of the trucks in the fleet. Since it is getting so bad in T-Val for you have you considered running as a dry box? As a dry box we see new customers all of the time who are not discounted customers. The...

Thank you for your reply as you gave me the information I was looking for and you added a great comparison. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me this info.

Jim I did ask how many gallons they got per mile and it not good... Between the fuel they use as well as the tires they burn off of those cars it is hard to imagine.

The loads that we accept are enough to pay what we need them to we still get loads that are great and we get loads that are just mediocre. We are still just as excited when the QUALCOMM dings as we were six years. The competition is different than it was five years ago are even one year ago...

Does anyone on the forums have any experience using NASTIC fuel cards?

We are still in shock and awe over this truck. Not only driving the truck but sitting at the table in the sleeper as I am now typing away. It took longer to get the truck on the road than anticipated. The things we wanted done took longer than we thought they would. Taking the plunge to...
