Interesting thought but as I understand it any work for compensation must be applied to your on duty time in trucking. Trading work is bartering. So if you Phil polishes Joe's tanks and wheels and Joe does nothing for Phil in exchange that will be fine. If working at a terminal as a dock...

It depends…. What company are you with? What division are you in? When we were with surface we had a hard time getting out of there, now that we have our clearances that is a good area. Now is it a good area around Thanksgiving that is a good question.

Frank I use Quicken and I often struggle wondering what category I should enter a deductible expense under. Drug tests are what first comes to mind. Is there by any chance a listing of the categories and what should be entered in each so that they will be entered correctly when we give our...

Happy Birthday! Have the best one ever and don't do anything I would not do!

They were working on this project when we were there Moose… It is pretty cool but I consider opening and closing the TT as part of my pre trip and post trip. The other nice thing is that to close the TT forces us to get out and look where we will be backing. The Trailer Tail seems to be working...

Here are the Engine Reports ran on 11/18/13 with lifetime fuel mileage and also one picture of three different days average fuel mileage. Hard to argue with an engine report

I know there is skepticism when I post our fuel numbers which is why I will follow up with a DDEC report which shows even better numbers then using the odometer. Most people we compare to have the Allison Transmission which hurt fuel mileage and most drive much faster then us. The fuel tax...

While talking to another driver friend her doctor told her for the time being to cut out all Bananas, Grapes, and Pears to help with her sugar cravings later in the day. How many foods do we eat that are good for us but actually can cause cravings later on in the day?

There was an email message sent as well as a QC message saying money is in the bank. Depending on the bank it will be posted today or in the morning. The email stated they believe the problem has been solved and will not happen next week. When I called in Joyce said they were doing...

Moose you are just wrong…. :D Never know what you will post.

Happy Birthday Terry and I hope you have a AWESOME day!

I found these tips on the following web site: http://www.scgh.com/go-green/cleaning/homemade-windshield-washer-fluid-more-green-than-blue/ Winter driving in many parts of the United States is treacherous. Drivers must contend with freezing rain, ice, snow, slush, and road slop. All of these...

I have just started using NOAA Weather. It is updated constantly which is nice. When we are in Colorado I like CDOT mobil. Both are easy to look at on my I-Phone

Have fun and stay as ornery as always!

I do not confuse the difference... Wandering around looking for Wi-Fi is not something we are inclined to do in the truck. We have a Sprint phone and an AT& T phone that have their own plans and then I have the Hotspot. I use the Sprint hotspot for my computer. Sprint coverage is shrinking...
