    Twenty Two Years FedEx/Roberts

    22 Year is amazing! Great job. I starting thinking of all the changes you have been through and you have hung in there through thick and thin. The stories you can tell I imagine are fascinating. You have to have a lot of tenacity to have not just said to heck with it I am moving to another...

    2011 Expedite Expo Recognition

    Thinking of alternatives to that buttermilk pie! There are lots of really good items that can be grilled that do not need BBQ sauce on them and are very good. When planning the meat for next year I think we will keep this in mind.

    2011 Expedite Expo Recognition

    OVM brought up an interesting thought on another thread wondering if many of us will recognize each other. It appears as many of the posters have decided to change their eating habits and become slim,trim and I a m sure debonair. It will be interesting to each other again at the Expo and I...

    newbies,would you do it again

    This lifestyle is something a person either thrives on or they absolutely hate it and look for any excuse to get out. Be it the carrier, the truck, their owner, the regulations and the list goes on. The other question is off topic!

    newbies,would you do it again

    Yes! We left good paying jobs with benefits when our kids left home. We first tried the truckload carriers as drivers and quickly figured out that was not for us. We learned a lot there which I believe led us to appreciated that much more expediting. When we hear complaints about...

    New Hoover Dam bypass bridge

    We have been lucky enough to hike around that area several times while the bridge was being built and were each time amazed at how beautiful that bridge is. We cannot wait to see it again in its finished state.

    Where Do Those Loads Come From and Why?

    We have found that depending on where we are in the country how many loads we are offered are unacceptable. When we need to get home or be somewhere we will accept a load at a lower rate rather than dead head on our dime. We call these well paying relocate loads. Sometimes we also wonder when...

    TA Fuel Discount is no more

    Our discount has still be very good at the TA's and we have no complaints. The discount has been like always some places we get a very good discount and at others the discount is only .04 cents. We made the mistake of paying for a shower at the Pilot in Fort Worth, TX and we figured out...

    TA Menu and food choices

    Thanks Turtle the call was very interesting. TA/Petro are really struggling against so many drivers wanting a comfort meal dinner and not enough drivers wanting to eat healthy. One of the thoughts I found interesting was the discussion between the difference of TA/Petro. Historically the TA...

    TA Menu and food choices

    We had our call today with Tom Straub, Corporate Chef and John Ponczoch, SVP Restaurant Operations, which went very well. John and Tom are both very interested in hearing back from drivers on their menus and presentation at both the TA and the Petro. We had a very candid discussion on our...

    Preferential Treatment for Expediter Services . . .

    If our truck said Panther on the side we would be just as supportive of that company as we are of the company we drive for right now. There is no doubt in my mind we could and would do the best job possible for any company we were leased to. I am positive that if we had Panther on the side of...
