Well, I was reviewing the fact that I got to my IRP renewal far too late. And once again I am up the proverbial creek and I forgot the proper equipment. I had never heard of keeping state by state mileage and fuel records for each load, and while I've kind of found a way to still pull off...

What gives? Are things seasonally this bad? I've been out for a few days, and I come back, and it seems the freight is gone. I haven't seen a load over 100 miles yet, and all have had an amount of deadhead that could easily be considered excessive. Is this just Michigan, or is everything slow...

Well folks, as some of you might have predicted, my team operation is going it's seperate ways. I finally told J that it wasn't working, and on our next time home, the 8th, I will be dropping him off. IT was hard to break a money making operationj up, however one must look past the dollars and...

Hello folks. I may have just made a grave error. I accepted a load to Fort McMurray. In the winter. Anybody have any helpful input? Where do I need to have chains? On which tires? Should i get a winterfront? Where can I get chains? Any other tips? Just stressing it setting all this up, any...

Hello all. We are currently on a run to Nogales Arizona. 2160 paid miles. This is my first run out this direction as an expediter. I was wondering if much ex frieght leaves AZ or, maybe a suggestion on a good place to d/h to. Any help would be great.

Well, unfortunately, due to the breakdowns, we will not be at the Expo this year. I hate to do it, but my better buisness sense made the call. With 2 days out of service with this box and QC damaged, coupled with 3 off while my co-driver was in orientation, we can't afford to take time off right...

Wow! Sorry i haven't been on here much, but I have to turn down loads to get time to wash the truck! I've been running nonstop these past 2 weeks. From 500 miles runs to 4 short runs in one day. (the only time I had to sit was when I lost a water pump on this past Saturday) Is everyone else...

Can anybody out there give me some tips on training a co-driver. I tok a good friend with me last time I left, and he said he was interested in learing the buisness and becoming a co-driver i this truck. He's been just fine with being away from home, and after week 1 he still says he wants to...

Well, this post was going to be asking questions about making the transition from vans to straight trucks, but it's a little late for that now. My fleet owner called to inform me that there was a straight truck available. And I jumped on the opportunity. At least I have more room now! An FL with...
