Jeanie Dingle looks awesome! What a goofy fun cat. I keep trying to get pictures of our truck but so far it has not happened. I enjoy decorating the truck for Christmas but this year I slacked some. Bob put lights in the grill last year to a switch so I could turn them on while driving. I...

I have found the easiest way for me to shop as I do not like to shop at all is to order what I want. The shipping is a small price to pay over the stress of trying to find what I am looking for in a store and the hassle of checking out. That is truly a situation of poor Bob! Having said that...

I think a lot would depend on the owners knowledge of trucking and the true hours spent keeping trucks on the road. I have not managed a truck but 15 to 30 hours a week seems a little excessive and a pretty broad range to base the numbers on. If there is many trucks then I think a set salary...

You know it is scary when those guys get so blase about the trucks going by constantly.

You have a paint failure before you have a metal failure which is what allows the salt and moisture to get to the metal. The automotive industry isn't going to use anything that costs more than it's worth to them. So using a premium paint at the factory isn't going to happen. Read the owners...

Greyhound? Now that does sound like the worst of them all as your cargo talks!

This comment was taken out of the Transport Topics September 30th issue. Both Bob and I thought the comment was a very good one: In times like these when the economy and budgets are tight, often one of the first steps toward cutting costs is reducing or eliminating equipment-washing...

The normal policy on DoD loads is to not change your pay due to HazMat reroute. With a surface HazMat load we have always had our pay adjusted.

TNT I think you hit on the key, Jeff always was interested when he called on what you were doing, how you were doing, where you were at in the country and what you had to say. I also really enjoyed hearing his cheery voice on the phone.

I seem to be stuck on directions this week. Another change I would like to see is the HazMat reroute ran before the load is offered out. It is very frustrating to have the new route emailed to you and find out that the loaded miles has increased significantly. It is very hard to make a sound...

I do not know the reason all loads are not confirmed but I have to wonder if one of the reasons is the agent questions if the load will get covered our not.

I agree with Leo you can not answer this topic as what every you are driving should be the easiest and best. When you move into another size vehicle that make you a living that one should become easiest and best for you. Each size has pluses and minuses and each individuals attitude is what...

I would like to see more of the personal driver interviews back in the magazine. I always enjoyed reading about the drivers and how they got into expediting and what they have done.

We have Sprint, AT & T, and Verizon and I really believe that the AT&T has the worst service of them all. Verizon and Sprint really seem to be about the same. I have a Sprint Aircard and I have been really happy with it.

I personally think it is awesome for all the Expedite Industry that these guys are out here in a van and blogging about it. I would also imagine unlike us when they have down time they are making sales calls. I also imagine just because they are our running around the country in a van that...

I picked up the new Expedite Now Magazine this morning and this got me to thinking of how much I miss Jeff. He often had some really great get to know a driver articles that were very interesting. Jeff also had interesting article where he talked to many drivers about their opinions of a...

I think who has it tougher is a matter of attitude on how you look at what you are doing and how you are doing it. Some people think not being home every night or weekend is close to the end of the world no matter what you are driving. I feel we have it the easiest as we have a truck that...

That is a really good one!

How many of you have seen one of the new magazines out there called Drivers Health? We picked one up a couple months ago and were impressed with the articles about drivers and their particular health issues. The magazine this month will have an interview with the women who is an Ice Road...

Here is the site: United States Road Conditions There is also a Trucker area with the chain laws and if you have to run chains are not. I thought the site was relatively easy to use.
