Truck Drivers and the Technology of the Road
Working on the road can be a very difficult task. Office jobs offer employees many advantages that most of the time are taken for granted: internet access, phone lines, copy machines, faxes, paper, pens, even the desk!!! After a few days away from home, you find out how difficult the job conditions are over the road and you start to notice those small details. All Truck Drivers and especially Long Haul Truck Drivers face this fact everyday. Fortunately, today the world is growing smaller and technology increases minute by minute allowing many people to reap the benefits of it. Truck drivers are no exception. Many technological advances have improved their quality of life.A few years ago, no one would have thought that a truck driver would ever implement the use of the internet in his day to day job. Electronic devices such as computers, palms, cell phones, billing devices and more are all available now to increase the efficiency of today's transportation services and their employee's. Professional Drivers benefit just as much from these communication advances as the companies they work for.The Internet is a great tool to improve our levels of communication, allowing drivers to have access to information at the exact time and place they

The composite highest-income practitioner in this field (salary plus cash bonus and/or cash profit sharing) is the President "A" (defined as a chief executive officer who is the owner of, a full partner in, or a major stockholder in the firm) of a consulting engineering firm. The firm provides services in civil (general, structural, and/or land development), or geotechnical engineering; receives in excess of $25,000,000 in gross annual fees for services rendered; has 500 or more employees; and is headquartered in or near Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, St. Louis, Oakland/East Bay, Milwaukee, Portland (OR), Lincoln (NE), Chicago, Middlesex-Essex Counties (MA), or Sacramento. This individual has a BS in engineering or higher, and 20 or more years of experience. While the median President "A" has a total annual income of $112,000, the highest-income individuals reported in this group make over $1,000,000.

Far toward the other end of the income spectrum, Field Technicians have a median income of $27,400. Sometimes earning under $18,000, the lowest-paid employees in this group usually are located in or near St. Louis, Corpus Christi, Milwaukee, or Richmond/Petersburg (VA), or outside metropolitan areas studied in Missouri; work for firms providing services in surveying or general civil or geotechnical engineering; have under three years of experience; and have no college training.

These composites represent the briefest possible "boil-down" of the voluminous data provided regarding current salaries and cash bonuses and/or profit sharing, and numerous demographic variables provided by 216 consulting engineering and land surveying firms on more than 5,300 employees in 152 benchmark jobs. The end results of the survey appear in Compensation in Consulting Engineering and Land Surveying Firms, 10th Edition - 2004, an 888-page, four-volume statistical analysis of compensation in this field.

Copies of the entire report are available for $1,200.00 from Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Dept. ART, 548 First St., Crete, IL 60417 (telephone 708/672-4200; fax 708/672-4674; www.abbott-langer.com). The volumes may be purchased separately (Volume 1 - supervisory & managerial jobs and Volume 2 - non-supervisory engineers & scientists for $495.00 each; and Volume 3 - CADD/design/draftings jobs and Volume 4 - laboratory/surveying/technician jobs for $395.00 each).

It would be an exercise in futility to attempt more than a superficial overview of the survey results in this summary. However, some overall data regarding compensation can be presented herein, and some comments can be made.

Overall Compensation

In addition to the incomes of the benchmark jobs already discussed, the median total cash compensation nationally of some of the other 150 benchmark jobs included in the survey report is: Engineering Branch Managers "B" - $105,562 Senior Mechanical Engineering Project Managers - $95,500 Senior Environmental Engineering Project Managers - $89,322 Chief Financial Executives - $89,018 Senior Electrical/Electronic Engineers - $77,700 Chief Marketing/Sales Executives - $66,200 Senior Scientists - $66,000 Chief Human Resources Executives - $65,780 Project Highway/Traffic/Transportation Engineers - $61,168 Lead Designers - $55,000 Design/Drafting/CADD Managers - $52,000 Staff Civil Engineers - $48,240 Survey Party Chiefs - $40,120 Engineering Technicians - $37,000 Associate Field Technicians (Inspection - construction) - $36,360 Junior CADD Operators - $31,840 Associate Drafters (drafting) - $27,874 Laboratory Technicians - $27,190

Naturally, these nation-wide pay rates vary by region, state & metropolitan area, type of services provided and annual fees received by the firm, size of firm, type of work performed/supervised/managed, level of education, length of experience, and supervisory/managerial responsibility involved - all demographic variables for which data are provided in the complete report.

Looks Life Wichita May Fly Again
There is some activity going on in Wichita even as India comes online to start building light aircraft again. It seems that every time it looks like Wichita is in a spiral, someone puts the ball back in the center kicks the rudder back to zero and pulls back on the yoke. Well, I’ll be damned the onlookers say. It is as if the founding city of the first US Mail Planes still has some powerful spirits flying around from the past entrepreneurs and pioneers who made Wichita what it is today.Two new things are happening in Wichita which might help the nearly 6000 laid off aerospace and aviation workers; Cessna is building a Citation Jet Centerhttp://customer.cessna.com/citation/locator.chtmlfor customer service issues and Boeings Dreamliner the 7E7 will be partially built in Wichita, but very little of it and recently an interesting twist of fate; Airbus will be building certain wing assembly sectionshttp://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/business/...ion/6098084.htmhttp://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/sto.../05/story2.htmlin Wichita, due to the availability of highly skilled laboring the newest materials and components.

Succeed By Impressing The Right People!
There is a Zen story that I like a lot about the man in a rowboat who saw a distant ship on the horizon.As it got closer, he thought, “Hmm, it’s heading toward me; that’s strange.”Then it got closer, still. “Hey, you, what’s up? Turn away!”Still closer, he screams, “You’re going to hit me! Turn away, turn away!”The next thing he knows, he’s spitting water, wondering what happened. As he looks at the ship, continuing on its course, he notices it doesn’t have a pilot.He wasted all that time shouting to no one. He would have been better off changing his own course slightly, than trying to get the attention of a phantom.Yet, this happens all the time, in business and in personal life: We try to impress the wrong people.Let me give you an example.It’s a lot of fun being on radio and TV, but all in all, these media have yielded less management consulting and success coaching business to me directly, than trade publications in the fields of sales, customer service, and success and entrepreneurship.Despite the fact that the audiences are huge, radio and TV deliver a different type of audience that is in a different mood.

Discover The Best Accounting Software
One of the most important decisions that you will have to make while starting or operating your small business is that of which accounting software to use. It could certainly be a nightmare if you make the wrong choice.During the past 20 years accounting software has advanced far beyond the old fashioned basic lined accounting books with 'in' and 'out' columns. Nowadays it is certainly possible to find accounting software that will assist you in all of your personal and business accounting tasks, from accounts receivable to online banking. With such a wide array of accounting software packages available, It can be difficult to decide which accounting software program will best fit your needs.Before choosing an accounting software program it is worth while that you give some thought to exactly why you desire the program in the first place. There is really or no point in buying a software program that enables you to keep track of accounts receivable and issued invoices if you just need the software to do your home budgeting. On the other hand, if you are a small to medium business, then it's quite likely that the ability to manage your issued and outstanding invoices is essential.Many people will probably want to consider the tools

Choosing the proper coating is an essential step in designing and producing quality packaging. Why are coatings important? For some of the same reasons that packaging is important. While packaging protects and enhances the beauty of what’s inside, coatings help protect and enhance the appearance of the package itself. Because coatings are dually decorative and protective, they are an economical way to extend both the appearance and the lifespan of the package.
