    Are There Any Honest Fleet Owners In The Expediting Business?

    My fleet owner is great. On friday we get a pay sheet with a breakdown of everything he got from Tri-State. On thursday we get our money deposited on our TAB card.

    Freightliner or Hino

    I will not drive a Hino again until they fix some of the problems with them. They are to rough a ride. In september of 09 I had to come off the road and have surgery on my neck. I had a protruding disk in my neck completely strangling the spinal cord, almost paralyzed me. I am just now getting...

    Ultimate Expediter Accessory?

    While I agree with the biker being an idiot for revving it in the parking lot at the wrong time. I don't agree about the loudness issue. While driving down the road with the windows up and radio playing, I can hear the bikes coming. With so many drivers being distracted while driving nowadays...

    Thanks to Cracker Barrel

    We have stopped at a few Cracker Barrels across this country. We have never been turned away from one of them. There food is great and resonably priced. The plus side is their menus are sssoooo different from the trucks stops, which is a welcome change.

    No bashing, a little advice to X-Conway Now Owners

    RE: No bashing, a little advice to X-Conway Now Ow Well our owners just switched most of us over to Tri-State. The trucks they had on were doing twice as much money as us on with Panther. Still seeing how things work. Plus both Panther and Tri-State allow us to use our log program DDL. We love it.

    loading that load

    Well we run a team in this truck, lowering the airbags keeps the truck alot more stable when using a fork lift. Lets the co driver stay asleep during loading and unloading. Been in trucks that you couldn't lower the bags, and was always awakened by the fork lifts bouncing the truck all over.

    Computer and software

    Another good program to have is DDL www.DriversDailyLog.com. You can do all your logs on the computer, just like if you were doing it in the log book. You can change the information anytime you want, it isn't set in stone like some systems, you control it.
