It is amazing when you can make the pickup in time how far away the load opps will reach out to. There could have been others closer but you had more dwell time and you would get the load or if you refused you would get dinged with the refusal. We do not even consider dead head anymore just...

I personally have not had any trouble in a truck stop or a rest area. We usually park near the back or near grass for Molly so often it is a hike to find the building. This sometimes requires searching on my part as I am often asleep when we park. I walk away from the front of the trucks and...

I do not believe there are anymore discounts on phone service through the FCC discount program. The thread was not meant just for FCC contractors but for anyone thinking of buying at a TA even when the price is right.

I have noticed lately we seem to be getting a lot more layover options that include Gary as the number one choice. Your dwell time will come into play so before you move consider that.

When you do not get home often it is much easier to buy on the road then to order. The thread was a heads up for anyone that might consider buying a headset or any other accessory from these guys.

We bought one of the new Silverado blue tooth headsets in Mississippi at a TA. Within a week we can no longer adjust the volume and tried to exchange the headset at a TA in North Carolina. The new phone kiosks are independently owned and we were informed you have to return any purchases to the...

Here is a picture of Lawrence on his trusty steed and you will see him zipping all over the place when you attend the Expo

We have made our call have you? Please call the office of your Representative in the U.S. House ASAP to tell them to oppose HR2454.

I have also heard of partners changing drivers like this and in the craziest of places. Two guys were talking about doing this on I95 in Jersey going 70 mph and they sure lost our respect real quick. Probably was a truck stop story though. I know it happens out here and I have to wonder why it...

It is amazing how much a fan can help stir the breeze and keep you cool. A fan is really a great inexpensive investment in personal comfort.

Here is a picture from last year of one of our network sessions

Great fun at the Expo and a chance to meet your fellow posters. We all enjoy running into each other out on the road and with this workshop we will get to meet each other face to face all in one place. July 25th 11:00 am - Networking & Roundtable Discussion with forum members Networking -...

We have came through a whole procession of navigational tools and for the last few years have not changed our routine. We started with the Deluxe Motor Carriers' Road Atlas only (we still refer to this often) we then added Delorme. Next we added a GPS antenna to Delorme and tracked our route...

We found with our current GPS we spent too much time arguing with "her" so we do not use sound just have the screen. How is the screen on this new system? Is it easy to read the street names?

From what I understand if FCC decided to clean house again many things are taken into consideration which could include refusals. I would imagine refusing all loads to Canada could be considered, refuse all short loads, late pickup and deliveries, and accidents. I would also think if there had...

The C-Link message and phone message are sent out at the same time and this is invisible to the dispatcher or system sending out the load opp. The C-Link is just slow in certain areas as well as our phones not getting a good signal in certain areas. I am not sure what the ideal situation is...

jansiemoo After meeting you guys all of the above makes perfect sense to me. Actually I can see how all of this played out and I have to admit I got a chuckle out of it. Hope to see you guys at the Expo

Looking forward to hearing more details of how this system works for you. Is this your first GPS? You only received a small leaflet it will be interesting to know how easy a new person to GPS will be able to get around this system. Everything I have read about the Nuvi 465T seems as if...

There are a few people testing this GPS on cdlofit.com also. So far all reports are sounding pretty good.

Ashville would be an awesome place to live and would work for freight but Flagstaff I think might be a little tougher. We thought that living in Saint Louis would be great for getting home and getting out. While we normally get out of Saint Louis very easy we sometimes have a hard time...
