Had a friend call us that was going through Florida and stopped at three different J's and all had the fuel islands blocked off. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

There are so many people at MATS it is very difficult to find people you should recognize much less someone you do not know. We need a really bright lanyard maybe to identify us EO Groupies that is totally different then all the others that are given away. Maybe a cool bag to carry around...

Great Turtle thanks for defining this subject clears up a lot of misconceptions.

pelicn thanks for correcting those figures I thought I might be off on that. We do not take the per diem deductions like salesmen do.

Why do you need per diem for each state? I believe the deduction is $58.00 in the US per day per team member when away from the house; I am not sure what the Canada Per Diem is. This is a good post on why you need a good truck accountant.

I purchased ACT and it has as the second ingredient 11% alcohol.

It is not easy to find a mouthwash without alcohol so if you have mouthwash in the truck you might want to dispose of it.

I was not paying attention today and bought mouthwash with 22% alcohol in it. I have always been told that you need to buy mouthwash with no alcohol in it to keep from getting a possible positive alcohol breath test. So the mouthwash will stay with our daughter and I will buy more mouthwash...

Merry Christmas!! Hope everyone is safe and warm and right where they want to be. We are having a blast here at the house watching Bob try to learn to play his new Guitar Hero the girls got him.

jjohnson48 If you have any question in your mind about being dispatched around take the time to spend a little time in Green and watch how the trucks are dispatched. They do not have time to pick trucks to dispatch.

Cheri let us know how it works just being made in the truck. We are lacking on breakfast items! Has anyone done any fun Christmas or New Years items in the truck that we can add to the book?

The only time our truck has seen 65 mph is going down a hill or when it was hooked to a tow truck! We though are not planning at this time to change our ECM to be legal to run in Canada. The "not tamper proof" is really irritating and if it can be set back who wants to change the ECM going...

Hey Pelicn congrats on 28 years of marriage! I got a great chuckle out of spending your anniversary in Laredo and admire you for not insisting on a special occasion to celebrate the day! We have also spent some funny anniversary days together and I am sure when we were married at 17 I had...

Jeanie I agree with having your dog on a leash. It is so darn frustrating when you take your dog out for a walk and have dogs running uncontrolled over to see your dog. Molly is just about blind and she very seldom sees a dog running at her until they are about on top of her. Often the dog...

Before you spend the money as a solo driver and buy a CR unit I would do a lot of research. I would find out what the wait is to get into WG and how many reefer loads you would be offered as an Express Truck. January is notorious for being slow in good years so that should give you even more...

Many of you have seen Molly and her temperament easy going, no barking and loves people. The site does not like her breed but many of you have tried. Bad Points to Molly and a dog: · Cannot leave the truck for a long period of time to site see · If you leave your truck for...

Piper1 has it exactly right. The truck was a 5 speed automatic and we had the ECM adjusted and made it a six speed. Our transmission shifts at 55 mph to sixth gear so that is why we run 57 mph. We have not seen the printed article yet.

We do the traditional dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas is whatever we feel like that is a little more than usual. This year our daughter is making her homemade lasagna and it is awesome.

Pelicn I thought it was just me or the areas we have been in. I love looking at Christmas lights and have missed seeing them.
