RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Ok I know Marginal Producer was not asked of us but still this is our thoughts: Marginal Producers do not know their bottom line or what it takes to move the truck profitably. They have a attitude that most loads do not pay enough so they sit...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening I can only speak from our point of view but I imagine I will speak for many teams we need a little more room to stay in our comfort zone. No we don't have the super sleeper and no we do not plan on buying one but we do have a 96" after...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening greg334 You are a solo driver correct?

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening I have to disagree. You are not going to see smaller rides you are going to see smarter business owners. What you seem to forget is with the bigger sleepers and the smart business owner is you have to have balance. Most owners of the bigger...

Don't you just love those loads? Least the fog in a way helped you out by slowing you down some more!

Made my mouth water! Jeez I hate reading posts like this and not just being able to just run down to the store and get it.

Jay I hope that you can recover from this huge loss and make this truck become profitable. Stay positive and focused and claw your way out of this hole as you have the truck leased to a good company.

That is a true statement till you get on the Dave Ramsey or Kevin Rutherford way of life. No problems going to the mailbox now!

We have the food savor mini and I do like it. Bob was trying to save a little when he bought it and did not get the cutter on the machine. It is a pain to cut all of the bags and guess the size. If you are going to vacuum pack anything that has much liquid you need to freeze it first as the...

When we go home we like to prepare meals with leftovers in mind for the truck. I have found that if we use the freezer baggies or the vacuum seal bags that if I shape them into a book form I can store many meals. We pack our leftovers into two person servings and then shape the package into...

I was hoping you would catch that reference even though I really don't know how fast you drive!

I fear a mountain pass even more then I do the icy, snowy road. I would much rather have the chains on going at a slow turtle speed with everyone going slow then to just have an icy snowy pass and no restrictions. What are some of the rules everyone follows when going down steep hills in the...

Leo what a cool thing to do! Have great fun and do not forget to look up once in awhile and admire the planes.

and you will hear exactly where the darn interstate is closed!

One way to look at this is FedEx Custom Critical has discounted loads and Panther has Household Mover miles for loads. Works out the same or close I imagine in what a driver is paid.

First thing is slow down! Do not follow to close as you need more room to stop and to turn. Keep your dash cleared off to let your vents work to keep the windshield clean. Keep good windshield wipers on the vehicle. We keep the reservoir full of windshield washer as you go through lots of...

Greg we are Express Drivers and I believe do very well. Yes we are a team and yes we run hard and stay in service longer then many by our choice. Bob and I have sat with our Contract Coordinator more then once and watched loads being dispatched. We have also sat with another dispatcher and I...

Send in a message and put yourself on the phone. Either do this on the QualComm when you check into a Express Center if you drive for FedEx Custom Critical or call in. Very easy to do and you will not miss a load!

I agree with Pelicn this is a life style and is very stressful if your whole heart is not in it!

and the plot thickens!
