With winter coming on our thoughts have turned to the possibility of a cracked windshield and what is an acceptable crack or rock chip. We have talked to other drivers about this issue and everyone seems to have an opinion ranging from a couple of inches to any size not in the drivers view to...

Temp-Assured Validated Validated temperature-control service that facilitates regulatory compliance and cold chain management. The above is out of a hand out from FedEx Custom Critical

How many of you have “Team Operation In Case of Emergency check bunk” decal? We were reminded of how important this information can be by a video that was taken on a dash cam of a truck going across Donners Pass last week. We are members of cldofit.com which is Kevin Rutherford’s site. He has...

Molly does snore pretty loud and it is getting worse with age. I could probably count on both hands how many times Molly has slept by herself. Ya I know it was not a good idea to start this but we did and now we fit around her as she stretches her legs out. She has ingrained herself in our...

Last year we had a wakeup call and glad it was just a warning. We have become very complacent depending on our Rig Master to keep us warm no matter what the weather. I had quit carrying our thermal long johns and only keep one blanket in the truck as they just take up to much room. This past...

The ****er Spaniel "Dawn" we had before Molly also went crazy over cows and one day I did the meanest thing to her. We were driving on back roads and she did her barking and going on and so we pulled over and let her out. Well she took of barking and the cows did not move and all the sudden...

We will get detention time as they have the standard amount of time to unload. The notes though are just to let the driver know that customer might ask you to help them unload and they have not paid for this service.

If and only if that load paid very well we would have taken it in a heartbeat. I am sure redytrk that you also looked at the total pay for the load and did not feel the load paid enough for you to have to sit that long. One of the ways though that we would have looked at the load is if it...

I did think this birthday would go unnoticed! Thanks guys you know how to make a person feel special. You make a very good point Jeanie; Molly pretty much yawned and gave me a look as to say get over it as she is now 93 in dog years. Linder

I used to think those type of trucks were the ultimate goal and that one is awesome. Now though I look at a truck like that and say How in the heck can they afford fuel? They must have one heck of a contract to be able to keep that truck chromed and also to afford to drive it down the road.

I am from that area and get teased often as I am always watching the ground and listening. Once you have heard a rattlesnake give you warning to move away from him you will never forget that sound. There are also many more wonderful and nasty little creatures in the desert that would love to...

This business is like any other there are some that can take a lemon and make lemonade and others that just see the sour lemon. It is what you make of it and how you handle your finances and time. As Phil said there are really good weeks and there are really bad weeks that can stretch into a...

We really lucked out this past weekend. We arrived at the campground on Saturday and the wind was blowing like crazy. We took that time to get all our laundry done at the very clean and cheap facilities at the campground. The next morning we ate breakfast at Fort Hays and then started our...

The new sleeper Middle Georgia Classic is now made in house! The great thing about them making the sleeper right there helps with the cost and if you want to customize anything.

I think that my picture albums would also be what I would want to save first then my practical side would win out and I would go for my business records. The above two things though without saying are after the family and Molly are safe and sound they are the most important of anything. Leo...

Well Phil you got to meet two people we consider pretty special! Those are great and we are lucky enough to be called their friends also. Always always look forward to seeing India and Frank.

Yep all the above! On our cards we have a picture of the truck which gets the FedEx across, our phone numbers, email address, and yep our screen name for EO. They are great to give to escort trucks, to other drivers you meet on the road and also when at the truck shows to give to people you...

Good Luck with you and your families future. You are very wise to ask lots of questions and to do your research before you jump. Good for you! A boy needs his dad and your wife needs you.

Wondering Dave what you mean by this comment? And before "the fawn and bunnies" come out, I wonder how many left Panther or Landstar only to return later? We have also seen an assortment of trucks in the FCC parking lot and some with many different shades of logos on their trucks. Some trucks...

Do not forget the key to expediting is patience! Laredo will really test your patience more than any other city I think. There are some great loads that come out of there if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time. If we deliver on a Friday and get no offers we also head north but...
