Is that something new? LOL. Sorry Jenny you left yourself wide open to that one. Couldn't pass it up. You owe me one.

Well we are still in brownsville. Think if we don't get one today we will see if they think we should move to laredo. Don't know if that will be any better but we will see. Have only been to tx. 3 times since we started with load one. Got rite out the first 3 times. May have to rethink this in...

I learned also. Doesn't happen all the time and I do have a deep trust for dispatch, but when it come to money I only trust the wife. I always ask or better yet just let them know what it needs to pay when they call. If you base it on all miles make sure you tell them loaded and empty. Since...

Are you one of them and it doesn't matter what company / carrier or owner policy is, you do what you need to do to help. What if that was your wife / daughter running down the road. Would you want someone to drive on by and just call 911 and hope they make it on time.

ya, as to the alternative. after 11 yrs, in this business we have learned to sit pretty good. doesnt do any good to be impatient. doest make the loads come any faster. having a sense of trust that dispatch is looking helps also. we have the sense that if we are sitting and not getting freight...

ya, i figure we will get out today. if not we will patiently wait. not like im gonna dh outta here.

good mornin all from the peaceful confines of the wally world in brownsvile. didnt get out yesterday, but what do you expect for south tx. on a monday. have a feeling today will be the day. been very windy down here, constant 30/35 mph winds since saturday. suppose to calm down today.

oh, i dont thinks so. ours is closer also.

wasnt big enough deal for me to even mark them in my files john. i will take note and send you some as they happen, but if the customers are providing the info, that i imagine is correct. i would think it is the ones pc miler doesnt recognize that are the issues. no biggie was just curious...

just a question for those who have been here longer and might have the answer from already asking. we have noticed that about 35% of the time, maybe a little less, the zip codes sent over the qc for p/u and del. addresses are wrong on one end or the other and sometimes both. we check the bol to...

well, this comment is made with fingers crossed. if things pick up for the year end then great, we will take it. if not and they stay the same that is ok to. we have not been just setting the world of expedite on fire with 5000 mile weeks but we have been darn steady. within 500 miles a week...

we dont worry about the 19 to much. if at the yard we do one and if there is a few in front of us we do what we need if its less than three we generally just wait as you never know. i do understand that it is different for you small straights and sprinters. i dont know that without alot of...

Ya, we don't understand that either. We are a team and we will do short loads. Granted, after a few we want a long one but often them shorties pay well and as well they should. I wouldn't do one cheap but as long as its paying well take it and run. Work smarter not harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We left the house Tuesday night and ran everyday. Great job by dispatch. Ended up the week with a nice run to brownsville. Deliver Monday and hopefully get back at it right away with a load out.

whats up with that cheri ? you mean you are not on the special pay program. 100.00 bucks for every nice post about load one. you need to talk to the powers that be and get on the program. you are missing out. LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, if it takes 3.50 / 4.00 per mi. in a straight truck for someone to run their business and pay personal expenses, then one should look at their expenses with a microscope and see where money is being wasted. sure, that kind of money would be nice but not needed to make a decent living and...

that was not the experience we had with conway terminals either. while with conway now we used the terminals all the time, especially the one off jarupa in fontana, ca. when we went to L.A. we stayed at that terminal all the time. even for a few days in a row. we always found that the sister...

i hope it works out and he does climb in the truck w/you. we dont need fleet owners like that here or anywhere for that matter. if people drop them like a hot potato when something seems fishy then they will cease to be fleet owners. on another note jim, you might give brian @espar a call about...

well, i am registered in illinois through the IRP program and have been for 11 years with this truck and 8 yrs before w/another and have never been given 2 plates for a straight truck. even asked at the irp office in springfield and was told we only supply one. as for requesting a second plate...

we have been home since the 21st heading out monday. sure hope things pick up. we were not slow when we came home. hope we missed it and things will be back to normal. did get the house finished and all the workers finally gone. rewired the lights on the truck for winter. last few winters took a...
