Ok, I understand where everyone is coming from here but let's factor in one more part of the puzzle. Layover Options. Our last 6 runs have ended up with both layover option 1 and 2 being identical. All of these options were in excess of 250 miles. Express Centers like Wilkes Barr, Little...

Thanks for all the input. I guess I should have clarified something in the original post. Tod is the record keeper. He prefers the Dome Book method and has impecable handwriting and math skills. He is also having surgery on both hands in a week, so the bookkeeping will be my responsilbility...

We have been using a pen and paper accounting system but find the expense of copying and faxing to the accountant to be expensive as wellas time consuming. I would like to convert to a spreadsheet application that can be emailed. What system do you recommend?

I have been tolerating instant coffee long enough. I am looking for a small coffee pot that travels well in a sleeper. I do not want a four cup because that is really just one cup in reality. What do you have and where did you get it?

The bags look like a flat ice tray, there is a funnel at the top. Pour the water in the top. It will take two, one to hold the bag and one to pour unless you fill them from your faucet. For lack of better words, the bag is sectioned into cube sized sections. The instructions say to turn the...

We like many of you work with our pet by our side. When Gabby was a puppy we had no problem bathing her in the sink of the sleeper. But, since she has grown we have found Petsmart and Petco to be our next best friend. Petsmart offers a basic bath and brush for $19.95. Petco offers the same...

After I put a couple packs of meat in my freezer I no room left for the plastic ice trays. I picked up some ice cube bags at Camping World. The bags make 24 ice cubes and take up a fraction of the space of a conventional ice tray.

A cop stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed limit. So he asks the man his name. "Fred," he replies. "Fred what?" the officer asks." Just Fred," the man responds. The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the fellow a break and write him out a warning instead...

The poster with a solution to this problem should win the grand prize! We fight this constantly. So far a good sweeping and vacuuming is on the weekly to do list with no prevention solution.

I spoke with a dispatcher today. She says the Surfce Expedite Network accounts for 30-35 loads a day. A far cry from the hundreds that were expected at the onset of this progrram in May

Yes I may be a little spoiled but not nearly as much as I was when I woked a real job. This job makes you realize how tough you can be and makes you use any little bit of imagination you can to make life easier. Do I love it? you bet!

Oddly enough I agree with everyone here. Leo you are right and what you said should have been said long ago. And, yes Tod and I found this sight when we were contimplating getting into this business and found it extremely helpful. And, yes some of the posters do have bad grammar BUT that's...

We discovered these when Tod had surgery a little over two years ago. I posted something about them ahortly after that time. It's great that you posted this because I take them for granted and forget to tell others about them. A nice update for everyone. Thanks! PS Walgreens carries a...
