    New to me

    I think our safety department as well as Terry do a pretty darn good job of learning the rules and regulations and passing them on to us. I know Terry has been talking to all of the E unit drivers about a possible violation they can receive on trailers. He is carrying the supplies to do a...

    Low fuel cost , location tips

    Reservation fuel can end up costing you more. Reservation fuel only includes the fuel price. Truck stop fuel is fuel price and taxes. You have to pay the tax even if bought at reservation. To truly know if you are saving money take the tax out of truck stop fuel and compare fuel to fuel prices.

    Sitting at the Walmart

    Yes and that has been known to happen. I did lose the truck the other morning. I was asleep when we parked and I was on the phone when I went inside in the morning. I was listening to the story being told and not what I was doing. I felt really odd walking up and down the aisle peaking...

    Sitting at the Walmart

    I lose our pickup when we are home. I am used to parking the truck going inside and then going back out and easily locating our highly visible truck. When I park the pickup I forget to notice any signs or aisle markings. When I come out of store I get a sinking feeling in my stomach as I...

    drivers co-sharing land / homesteading

    That is what we have done. Our daughter takes care of our house and mail. She is on our bank account and pays what very few bills I cannot pay online. We do not worry about our house while we are on the road. There has been posts before of dedicating a area for this use and I do not believe...

    Hours-of-Service Proposed Rulemaking

    Changing the drive time to ten hours can still work on DoD loads with a little planning on our parts. If we sit less than an hour we will be good to go. It appears to me that the time can be split up which is good. The battle I believe we want to fight is the restart. As soon as or...

    Hours-of-Service Proposed Rulemaking

    One of the changes I really like is the ability for a team driver to sit in the front seat for two hours a day with out being on duty. Still digesting the 34 hour restart to see how we can make that work for us.

    Interstate 70 from MM 205 to 175 Both Directions Closed in MO

    We have never had a problem calling dispatch and talking about the weather and shutting down. If we even mention the weather is threatening it is followed up with the question "Do you feel safe to drive?". Yes FedEx Custom Critical does want the freight delivered on time every time they do not...

    Seattle,Wa. and Portland,Or.

    Exactly Cheri. FedEx Custom Critical has freight in that area and Settle is an Express Center. You could also stop by the Flying J in Tacoma and talk to drivers to see how often they get out to that area. The freight is hit and miss and this year we have not had a load to that area...
