I was once dispatched to take a load off a truck that was parked beside the road.When I got there driver was gone,and so was the freight.In time I learned that the driver had been arrested,and put in jail.He did manage somehow to have a taxicab get the freight and deliver it.(I wonder if this...

We too ran up against the problem of Fly J not taking Comcheck.We had our checking acct "Pre-approved" and use it instead.This saves a lot in CC fees.They will give you cash avove the fuel cost based on your pre-approved limit.FJ has a lot of advantages.Low or lowest fuel cost,excelent...

I agree if we all ran the posted speed,it would jam up the Interstates of our great land...Better yet,have half of the trucks running 1 MPH under, so there is allways slower trucks passing.The backups would be tremendious.

It sure is funny that the vendors dont mind us running every weekend for them,but wont give up one of theirs. As to a better time,shucks its hard to say.My records show July to be one of the 3 slowest months.Maybe more of us could afford to show up then.BY the way here are best month to...

Hello Bob. We weccome any dialog that helps insure our safety,on the road or parked. By "smash and grab"are you refering to broken windows to gain entry? If so I would welcome any inprovement to glass that would help.We had such a breakin a few years ago.Fortunatly they only grabbed a $10.00...

We too decided to stay on the board and took in $4521 for the week.Its hard to pass up the freight when its really hot.August is the best month of the year and we try to stay in service as much as possible. Sure wish Expo could be on a wknd or a slow month. Ps.We tried to be there.Parked at the...

Trust me the bag is there for a good reason.Besides with the beautiful Carol with me...WHO CARES.

Funny you should mention money Terry.They were very nice in having us send in reciepts for expense reinbursement.This was for truck wash,meals etc. Well instead of making an addition to pay,it came out as a deduction.Took forever to get it straightened out. PS to Lawrence.We are planning to be...

You are not listening to the man..."D"trucks carry 75% "C"loads.Bigger is not allways better.

Oh we have had pleanty of AC problems also.After 3 leaks being ran down,the teck said it was because they are made out of "old bear cans"

FL finally came up with a Mystery repair. By Mystery repair I mean the dealer was instructed to do the procedure but not make a record of it in any way.I was told (off the record)that it involved stepping up the fuel pressure.The only real cure would involve a re-design of the computer.This is...

Use a dart board and take your pick.There is no best,and no worst.Drivers jump from co to co only to find out that income is affected only by the economy.For the long haul if one of these companys comes up with something that works,the others follow shortly.
