Greg you seem to be quick to point out other's numbers and I have never seen you talk about your numbers which made me curious. Thanks for sharing...

Greg can you tell us a little more on how your company does this and what your dh miles are? I would like to more about what you do and how you do it. I believe getting your figures into a plan like Phil's could be very beneficial.

For a surface truck that sounds alright to me. Do you guys have anything extra such as a pallet jack, blankets, corner protectors or anything else to increase your chances of getting accessorial pay? Another way to increase your income is to increase your fuel mileage.

Changing your shift points should increase your fuel mileage if the truck was set up to run heavy which we seldom are.

One thing I try to especially remind women is to walk away from the front of a truck. When crossing the fuel islands or even walking in front of a row of trucks walk at least five foot out. We are generally shorter than most men and we are hard to see over the hoods or in reality impossible to...

Treat the transmission for what it is a manual transmission. Check the oil level regularly and Bob is thinking the book says 500,000 miles to have the oil changed. Check in your owners manual for the specifics on the mileage.

I hope you will find the perfect truck and welcome to the world of O/O.

Jim it will be interesting to hear how this program works for you guys and will appreciate hearing your updates.

I have had this app for quite some time and it is really nice. Lots of information is given back on walks and if you like to run. You can also listen to music or a book while walking or running. The one thing I do not like about the app is that if you receive a call while using the Nike+ it...

As a dry box with a lift gate we will still be going west and we will still be going to Dallas. The freight for us does not appear to have changed at this point slow is slow all over and most of the DoD trucks are slow and when it is good all of us are moving with all of the companies.

I think part of the problem is that many Expediters have not driven in the "big truck world" as a driver. A truck might need batteries but the terminal does not think the truck needs batteries so we would idle the truck. It is frustrating when we did not have a generator and wanted to...

Finance Guy Can you discuss credit scores and how a slow pay affects this?

I also do not only talk with drivers, but the drivers who are the bottom line.

Phil it sounds as if we are talking to different types of drivers who driver different types of trucks. We usually talk to dry box drivers and this is what we are hearing from these people from various companies.

Talking with other drivers not only with FCC it appears there has been a lull in freight. As always right place right time keeps you moving.

Please take this survey We need your input! Comments are due on Monday, May 23, 2011 relating to the proposed rulemaking requiring EOBRs on all commercial vehicle operators who keep records of duty status. In particular, FMCSA is seeking comments on whether these devices can be used to...

I just went through getting my drivers license and one of the questions that was asked was this question and this was the correct answer: 27. You do not have a hazardous materials endorsement on your commercial driver license. When can you legally haul hazardous materials? A Never B Only...

When I started our research this site was where we turned to everyday to read and learn. The two that stick out most in my mind are Jeff Jenson and Terry O'Connell and I read everything they posted.

When we purchased our truck we found the down payment to be what we had expected and were prepared to pay. I know that until we had a credit check and were approved for a loan the talk of a down payment was not discussed. If we had a low score or were looked at as a risk the down payment was...
