That is funny Cheri! I like the Gray because so much goes with it. I have seen some of the sleepers that are done in colors and I wondered how I would coordinate. We use the truck curtains to keep a smaller area cool in the summer and warm in the summer. Last year we made window shades from...

Hey Dave one of these days we will catch up with you! Are you going to try and be at the Expo this year?

To remove slack adjuster you will need snap ring pliers and a regular pair of pliers or vice grip and whatever adjustment tools you need to back off the brakes and probably a hammer. First chock your wheels release parking break get under truck back off (loosen) the brake remove cotter pin...

TeamTLC has been doing a lot of reading, a lot of research, and then attended MATS to also network with even more people. They are going into this with their eyes open and if anyone can make a go of it I believe these two can. They are as prepared as you can be to jump out here. To top all of...

I also had your attitude about OOIDA and finally figured out that griping to each other in not going to help. Now at least I call and I email and let them know how I feel. Maybe if more of us would do that we could get changes we want. As for drug testing it is part of this trucking world...

Funny! I happen to like our uniforms and think they are pretty spiffy! Now if Bob did not have this uniform I beleive after our past week at the CMC he would be wearing slacks, button down shirt and a tie. Kick up our appearance a notch. Glad we have uniforms and I do not have to go tie...

Well I need to remember next time I see a competitor while wearing the FedEx Apparel I am to be very grim, march, and ignore all drivers! OVM gosh I cannot wait to run into you again it is just going to be very ugly! I am really going to growl at you. Each company has their own grouches...

Heck one day we had a flatbed lock on our D unit!

I tend to put FedEx policy threads in the FedEx forum so the information that needs to be shared is not diluted by posters who are not with FedEx. As long as the thread is in the FedEx forum new people reading that thread will know that only contractors with FedEx are posting. When there is a...

We work very hard to keep a good attitude and if we do not like the way something is run we try to change the problem at the source not just complain about it. We get involved if we do not like something and that has really led us to some interesting places. Once we have moved on from a...

This was given to me from Henry Albert who wears a tie everyday as a truck driver to promote an image. He has his own authority so his customers are his business. He has carried this bulletin with him for 18 years as a reminder of who he is and what image he wants to portray. KNIGHTS OF THE...

I really like that idea as I just cannot get my head around the thoughts of looking at the dash instead of to the right and left.

Dave can you clarify your comment?

Wow in 15 years as an expediter you post on EO 4 times and all are negative. That is a long time to dislike your business.

Just found this article on the Freightliner innovation truck. We saw the truck at MATS and were awed by all of the cool gadgets on this truck. We were impressed by the fact the truck had no mirrors and relied on cameras. We talked to Henry Albert who was able to test the truck and were given...

We do not do favors for anyone that cannot return the favor. When you finish that favor load and call in to the same dispatcher who asked you to take the favor load you will be hung out to dry. FCC is trying very hard to put a stop to this very situation. We are not out here to do favors we...

Great reminder India. We spent a lot of time at the Wal-Mart store moving each fan away from the other fans to see how they each felt. We did not end up buying the fan that was our first pick. The difference a fan can make in the truck is unbelievable. Even with our Fantastic Vent we still...

Glad you are recovering and will be back driving with us soon.

Flatbed is the key word in the post. Steve has some awesome qualifications in the fact he is flatbed qualified and also has his clearances.
