    Truck Wash

    We are in Hesperia CA and had our truck washed at the Little Sisters Truck Wash. 45.00 for a straight truck and they did a fantastic job. They actually used rags to wash out the wheels, the inside of the tire wells and the roof of the truck. They even wiped down the antennas! Then when all...

    Married teams and sharing trk responsiblites

    We would sure agree with the above posts and would not appreciate any interference in our personal lives. We have talked to a lot of teams out here and not one of us do this job the same way. They have to work out between themselves how to approach each day be, it business or personal.

    What's The Industry Like Today????

    January has been slow for us but that was expected. Our revenue was up in 2006 from the previous year. As far as we are concerned we are doing well in a D unit for Express but have no idea how a super D would do.

    What is a glad hand ?

    We have this and boy is it handy. Sometimes we get leaves in the cab of the truck and we can just blow them out of if crevices get dirt in them the vacuum wont get that also comes in handy. Bob also checks the tires when we are sitting and can inflate them if needed. Very handy.

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    I am CHEAP! The dollar fee drove me nuts and it doesnt cost anything to transfer from the bank. We have to pay a 1.00 fee to load the card and then a 1.00 fee to transfer the money and that takes care of all the interest you earn. It is very easy to transfer the money online from bank to bank...

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    We felt the ComData fees where also unreasonable but we liked the ease of using a card and the discounts. We signed up for a TAB account with Flying J and now transfer money from our checking account to our Tab Account. Not only do you not pay fees with Flying J you get interest on the money...

    brakeing in

    Talk to recruiters from the various companies and they will give you the average income for the different sized trucks. You will then need to list what you have to have to make your personal payments. Then you can research the forums and get basically what it costs to run a truck. Each of us...

    6 weeks in and deeply disillusioned

    There are a couple of things I don’t understand on this post. Rigorous Orientation, which sure does not sound like FEDEX Custom Critical or paying broker fees. We have found FedEx to be very accurate with their bookkeeping and I do watch our income very closely. We also found that what our...

    House versus Apartment

    I have been under the impression that if you only lived in your truck you could not take the per diem exemption on your taxes. Have you heard that? It is to bad you are back into that rut after finding out how much easier it is to not have those worries.

    House versus Apartment

    We are presently living in an apartment with our oldest daughter. We had a house the first part of our trucking career. We had a nice house with acreage that we really enjoyed. We found that out on the road we worried about our home a lot. When we went home we had lots to do as for some...

    Home Time

    We have our budget set up by the month. We try to plan our home time on a month that has 5 pay periods. This doesn't seem to hurt the checking account as much this way. We also schedule any maintenance that needs to be one to the truck that we can during this time.
