Have you had a problem with this? We have a 22' reefer box. Our evaporator measures 32" back from the bulkhead and 18" down from the ceiling.Then because we carry the required WG equipment we have 3 shelves 24" wide (width dictated by our tripod dolly,etc) across the front of the box. Fine so...

During our year of researching expediting the one thing we heard over and over was "the money is in a DR-unit (22' reefer) leased on with FedEx Custom Critical. That was 3-years ago and great advice. Now let me clarify, we are a team so I can only speak based on team revenue. We have friends...

Back when I lived in Fort Lauderdale I owned a pleasure boat. It became a hole in the water that I constantly threw money in. Then we bought a truck. It didn't take long to figure out that it a hole in the pavement we constantly throw money in. Only difference is I get to use the money the truck...

Beats a pee bottle for sure. Better than the plastic bag on a stand I've seen at the Petro. I'd say this one has its limitations though. We prefer our Porta Potti, you can multi-task your visits!:P It has a larger holding tank and cost about $70.00. It easily fits in a 74" sleeper under the work...

We need to hear from other expediters that have done what we are considering doing. As we search for a future replacement of our current DR unit we are seriously thinking of keeping our Kidron Ultra reefer box,Thermoking UTS, and Maxon liftgate and transfer them onto a new Cab. We've seen some...

Well its Saturday night and here we sit bored to death in Bordentown [Boredom Town],NJ.When this story popped into my brain I just had to share it and hope you'll get a laugh out of it! A while back we were in the San Diego area and decided to stop out at DeAnza Springs Resort in Jacumba,Ca for...

What, no deer hunters in the crowd? Surely I thought there might be one or two of ya. I got to fess up here. I was just kidding about the well fed ones!}>

We have used the Microsoft, Rand McNally, and DeLorme software. None of these provide truck routes (low clearances,restricted routes, etc).Flying J Travel Plazas sell a program that does for about $350. We like our DeLorme the a best, and you can buy it at Staples for about $85. The GPS that...

To properly seperate a Bulldog from a Great Dane: 1.Jack up the Great Dane. 2.Release the jaws on the Bulldog from around the kingpin. 3.Carefully slide out from under the Dane so as not to damage its kingpin. 4.Seperation is now complete,bar any problems. I might note here a good...

Ok, now wait a minute here! I'm reading and not believing.Are terms such as "full cavity search" or "full enema" really computer terms? Whats up with the mirror? LOL. Honestly, I thought I was a bit off the wall, but ya'll are beginning to scare me!:D :D :D

Ok, now you struck a nerve with me,in a good way of course! You share the same question we've had for a long time. We run into this a lot at Petro/Atlanta,Ga and elsewhere. We'll be sitting at our table in the restaurant and a group of expediters wearing their company logos will be sitting...

Great subject!!! I carry the best panhandler /lot lizard defuser there is,my wife. In her 11-years as a deputy sherriff where we live she dealt with this kind of rif raf on a daily basis. Of course those skills come in handy out here on the road. Trust me I listen when she speaks, well most of...

Dear Terry and Rene' My apoligies for just getting around to posting this. My wife and I were deeply saddened to hear the news about Rene'. Our hearts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. WE met you two once at a shipper and only spoke for a few minutes, but we came away feeling that...

As Docrushing stated the case is a matter of Public Record. I've not requested copies from the courthouse so I'm not sure of how detailed they are, I would assume quite. Many of you know these fleet owners as they've been around a long time.They come across as very friendly people to chat with...

When we first decided to get into expediting three years ago we wanted to try it out first in someone elses truck before we invested in our own. We were given a few names of fleet owners in our area by the recruiter to contact.We narrowed it down to one that seemed to be a christian based...

Thanks for your reply ATeam. I do imagine its scary to these couriers to get in a commercial vehicle with complete strangers and trust that they will make it from point A to point B.We always buy extra food and beverage before we pickup the load and Courier. We then graciously offer these to...

Hey Moot, Love the reply,about laughed our you know whats off! Trust me the thought has crossed my mind more than once. Seriously, we haven't had a bad Courier yet. My feeling is this, The customer is leasing the space in my box, not our cab and especially not our bed.I dont like having to...

Back when we started Expediting some freinds said they were going to put in a good word for us and get us on the Art Team. We really didn't want to be, but they wouldn't listen. Next thing you know, we're on the Art Team. It didn't take long to realize they weren't bad paying loads. Just pick up...

We delivered once to the San Onofre Nuclear Plant on a Saturday. Our next load was'nt picking up until the following Monday about 60 miles away. We really did'nt want to sit at the TA in Ontario,Ca so we seached for a motel around the plant area. There were'nt any available.Since I had never...
