The difference to me about having a dog in the truck is the dog is stuck in the truck. The driver can open the door and get out or make a decision to move the truck. Most dogs I know do not open doors nor do they drive. They just have to sit there and hope who ever put them in the truck will...

Our kids gave us really nice Mickey Mouse floor mats for the truck! They should give us a smile often this next year.

Narrow Tine Pallet Jack rated 5500 lbs – We wish now we would have bought and adjustable tine pallet jack. The narrow tine is great for moving computers but terrible for moving heavily loaded skids or extra large skids. We paid about 350.00 for the pallet jack three years ago...

RE: I'm tired. arrbsthw That is where we are not DOT legal when we get with in a mile or so of the customer even with our GPS the other will get up and help find the address. If we are loading or unloading in the middle of the night we both help. That is where the hour we change drivers...

This would depend on if you get a class 7 or class 8 truck. How you maintain the truck and how you drive the truck. We have a class 7 truck with a 300 cat motor and the estimated life on that motor is 300,000 but we have talked to many that have been way over that. We have approximately...

We do follow the HOS rules and our shifts are approximately 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning till 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. We have never and hope to never turn down a load as we are out of hours or to tired to run. If we are running that hard we are going to ride the wave as it will quit...

We are all ready looking forward to the Expo and hope to have more time to visit with you this year.

We finally made it home! Had to come through a blizzard in Utah but we made it. The slush busters by the way worked great and we are very pleased with them. Had to order more for Christmas presents as they can be trimmed to be used on cars. When we look back on this year we are amazed we...

Boy did we just discover something new!! We make you nervous just being quiet that is a good thing to know. You never know when you might need these things and I thank you guys for the insight.

I will say this again one way to get into the savings habit is make a deposit to your savings every month. When you write your budget (we all do budgets right?) have a line item where you pay yourself. As a business owner the unexpected always happens and the worse off your finances are the...

To us saving is considered a bill and a very important bill. When you have a slow month this savings is what gets you through. To not even have a little cushion in a business that is as volatile as what we are in seems like a nightmare. If it is tight now how tight is it going to be say when...

RE: Whats the stupidest thing you have done this y pelicn Boy can I relate to getting lost coming out of the showers! I usually have a really good sense of direction but not inside a building. I have found that if I just hang back a little and let Bob lead the way I don't look as silly when...

RE: Whats the stupidest thing you have done this y Ok Cheri this bathroom thing got me to thinking of something Bob did a couple years ago. We both were on our way into a Pilot first thing in the morning and Bob was just talking away and I went into the girls bathroom and didn't even pay any...

RE: there is no place like home, there is no place We are sitting in Fort Worth and also worrying about the same thing! Do not send us to far so we don't have to dead head so far to get home but keep us running this week. I do not envy a dispatchers job this week as I know we will refuse more...

The problem Broom as I see it is we all know that there are solo's making it at FedEx Custom Critical as well as teams. Not all companies are good for all people but that does not make them a bad company. Every company out here has employee's with an attitude problem or people you just do not...

RE: Whats the stupidest thing you have done this y Sometimes talking about the stupidest thing you have done will save someone else from making the same mistake or if they do make that mistake how to correct it. We where at a customer and I was not paying enough attention and I raised our lift...
