    Murphy Bed - Bolt Custom Truck Sleeper

    Having the Murphy Bed opens up the sleeper and allows us to have what appears like two rooms. We have had six people comfortable in our sleeper visiting as our front seats swivel. This past weekend while iced in at Fort Worth, TX we easily had another couple join us for meals. I was able to...

    Murphy Bed - Bolt Custom Truck Sleeper

    I was asked in a different thread to post how easy it is to raise and lower our Murphy Bed. In the almost three years that we have had this sleeper I can only think of a couple of days that the bed was not raised so that we could eat or work at the table. If the bed was difficult to raise or...

    The Truth About Expediting in Severe Weather

    I could not agree more! We came across on I-20 last night going into Fort Worth and it was a mess. The interstate was shut down in several places due to accidents and we were directed onto side roads. The good of all of this is that the traffic we were in was moving slow and cautious and we...

    We have no privacy and it is getting worse

    Article on Team Run Smart by Jim Klepper about privacy and the lack of it… He lists states that still have some privacy but that list is not very big. I found it interesting reading and very disconcerting. This paragraph in the article sure got my attention: The facial databases have...

    Fuel Cards

    Best fuel card I have heard of is the one NASTC offers. While there is a membership fee the fee is quickly covered by the discounts. We know several independent operators that are members of NASTC and their discount is the same as ours or better. Theirs is close enough to ours that it will...

    It's a Team's Life Seat Belts Save LIVES! : It's a Team's Life

    Perfect Coffee Cup

    Perfect Coffee Cup

    Cheri it is not that HOT but it keeps is almost as hot as it does when I first fill my cup an hour later. When I start driving and I make my two cups of coffee I hated it when my second cup was cold when I got to it.
