I would have to agree on that brown!! The purple promise works pretty darn good for us! And I am probably prejudice but our truck even looks good in purple and blue!

are12 I agree with you 100% We have had several incidents like you talk about and they ALL could have been worse. We have always been able to be thankful about something. We can look back over our lives and some of our hard times and realize we learned something from that time that made us...

The lead sheets seem such a waste of time but if they want it they will get them! Do you know what the next step will be in this process with paperwork?

I have been thinking about this and how to make it better but have not made any progress. We also have an umbrella and that does help when just walking into the truck stop or if Bob is chaining! I hold the umbrella and flash light he chains great arrangement. FedEx has what is a re usable...

The fee for filing our corporate taxes where different then filing our individual and you need to take that into account when planning your expenses for the year. Some states do not have state taxes so this also affects the fees.

The 12 and 12 also is very easy to figure on your logs books less room for violations. Steve you know as well as I do you do what you have to do. As you can see we have a dog so we get very few DDPS loads.

We tried the route of having someone close by that said they knew about truck taxes and we did get burned. They did know about truck taxes just not over the road truck taxes and all the great deductions we can take. We will probably never go to Johns office as there is not need. We talk on...

We are with FedEx so can only speak for what we know of FedEx. We are a D Unit and we have a pusher axle with a 96" sleeper. We added the pusher axle as we could not gross a 13,000 load without it. With FedEx and in Express you need a D unit in our opinion. Last year we ran 62 C Loads and 78...

We have never met John Turner but after a few conversations with him and also with his son Johnny we where convinced we have an account for as long as we are business owners! It wont take long talking to him or Johnny to relieve all of your fears.

Narrow down the search to the companies you are most interested in. Then research the companies searching through the archives of EO and also talk to drivers of each company. Once you have settled on a carrier learn everything you can about that company. Then personify all of the...

With most of our receipts especially the ones we ran through a card we have the statement produced by that company. You get a statement from ComData, Transportation Alliance, your credit or debit cards. This is also a back up for all of your receipts. I keep a folder for every month and put...

Greg, this is a little of your subject but I heard on one of my talk channels about using flash drive technology in new computers. This is supposed to really help the lap top industry and make a tougher computer. What have you heard on this and what do you think?

MoonProwler, so glad you have left the world of lurkers! Glad to have you here.

Leo if you add the pusher axle as a accessory and not as an axle how hard would it be for a auditor to figure out what that accessory is? I believe that is the standard practice it to not buy the extra axle at the dealer you purchased the truck from to avoid the tax. I have even heard of the...

Broom it doesn't matter even if you ride and have a CDL. The CDL actually make the situation worse in most ways. I had to about sign my life away when riding with Bob that I would not drive the truck when he drove for USX. I was also a rider for many years and was even fearful of pulling the...

Our income is up a great $725.00 and our miles are up 1,934. Our dead head miles are way up due to a decision we made to be at the MATS truck show! If not for that our dead head miles would be about equal to what our income shows. We are still sure this is going to be another really good year...

John O great job! That just goes to show if you can keep your foot light on the petal you will get great returns. We still have not broke eleven mpg but it sure hasn't been for lack of trying.

We also have a Fantastic Vent and use it when ever possible. The problem with the Fantastic Vent is that if you are parking near a running truck you often pull in those fumes so our vent will stay shut. Are vent also has a moisture sensor and if it even thinks it is going to rain it shuts! It...

Another way of looking at this is they try to get to far away and you just move in with them! Our daughter moved from sw Kansas to Saint Louis we decided she was in the freight lanes and we chased her down! It is great she takes care of all of our mail, the apartment we show up once in awhile...
