    Risky Business Why are so many Owner Ops getting their own DOT Motor Carrier Authority in 2019?

    Doesn't this sound a lot like the "multi" model we saw in expediting? Pay your own insurance and haul for more carriers? At least here though if you have your authority and insurance you are compensated more than a regular owner operator. In expediting with the multi model, with a few...

    It's a Team's Life Do you fear Kohlrabi?

    Speaking of Kohlrabi, it is very popular in Europe. We used to eat it raw, made soup out of it, and probably some other ways that I can't remember now. Since I moved here though I don't remember exactly how many times I've had it, but it wasn't more than 5 times. Now I have to find some. Thanks...

    Fuel for Thought Limits and Insanity - OR - Why Am I Seeing Red?

    Greg, Sad to say that some drivers/owner operators are color blind. I met a few over the years that had no clue how much it cost to run their business. If they don't know that, they also don't know if they are making a profit or not. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Our Life on the Road Expediting Service Failure

    In my opinion, if your truck breaks down it is your fault. You agreed to deliver the load by a certain time and you did not because of your equipment. It might not be fair since some break downs you can't do anything about, but life is not fair either. Now, if a driver does not communicate, it...

    Fuel for Thought Show Your Rear or Full Frontal Exposure

    If I can, I always pull in. I'm trying to get as far away as I can from other idling trucks or, god forbid, a reefer.

    Fuel for Thought Eureka !

    I just watched a documentary discussing among other things the Shanghai Maglev Train that connects the airport to the city. They have 2 tracks, well, not really tracks, but magnetic levitation lines that run parallel to each other and 2 trains. Both leave from the opposite ends speeding towards...

    It's a Team's Life Fuel Mileage Update : It's a Teams Life

    Wow, some cubes i met on the road don't get that mileage. I bet that driving 'slow and steady' has a lot to do with it.
