    Locking the Truck

    This has been a HOT TOPIC and had heated discussions.... Will bring up at the next meeting as it is very frustrating to all of us. It seems as if most have their QC set to shut off very quickly when parked and so do not even know when locked unless they call in. I agree we should not have to...

    food article

    There are several interesting books on this subject and the fact that when we say we cannot eat just one chip is true... One of the chemicals in those chips is telling our brains we NEED MORE. The more I read about the twisted science behind some of the food we eat the more I am turning to...

    Locking the Truck

    The locks have there purpose but it would sure be beneficial to all of us if they let us know the lock was put on and for what reason. The ability to make a business decision is taken out of hands when a dispatcher decides they know best, place the lock on us, load does not come through, they...

    July 1st New HOS

    As this date approaches we are working out ways to get the 1/2 break in and how we will approach this. The 1/2 break starts when we go on the clock not when we start driving and we are going to have to think a little further on down the road of where we are going to pull off the road.

    Keeping our brains challenged

    I like to play the games on Luminosity and Bob likes Suduko and Solitaire with both keeping us thinking and using our brain cells. Does anyone else use Luminosity? I started using the site in January and try to play every day and have been pretty successful at that goal. I enjoy the...

    Driver Health Hazard: Deep Vein Thrombosis

    Listening to music and tapping our feet on the floor of the truck when driving will help and like cranis says while on cruise move your legs. When there is no traffic I will do leg lifts with knee bent for 100 times and then repeat. I start driving between 2 - 3 in the morning and I usually...

    DIY - Baking Soda Shampoo

    My hair is short and still when I think of how much I spend a year for shampoo I am not thrilled. I enjoy learning about using natural products and through Pinterest I learned about using baking soda to make my shampoo. I have oily hair and I was concerned about how clean my hair would be...

    Essential Oil

    I have started experimenting with Essential Oils and I wondered if anyone else has done anything with them? Before we went home last time I ordered a few bottles and they had to be ground shipped as they were considered Hazmat. I made a air freshener for the truck which consisted of 1/2 cup...

    Apple Cider & Acid Reflux

    That is the best remedy.... I find that I have a problem with Acid Reflux when I do something stupid such as eat to much right before I go to bed... Changing our eating habits is the best of any remedy of anything.

    Apple Cider & Acid Reflux

    Mixed reviews on using Apple Cider for acid reflux works for some and makes it worse for others. I often add two tablespoons to my bottle of water and I have not had any problems. I started out with one tablespoon of apple cider and built up to two tablespoons. I have not had any problem...

    My weightloss journey

    Smoking is a funny addiction from how I see it. Bob quit and that is it he just quit. I have not written about how I finally quit as I was able to do this a couple years before we started trucking. It was not easy and it was not something I will ever go through again. It was very rough...

    Chia Seeds

    I first read about the benefits of Chia seeds when I read the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall several years ago. I did a little more research on Chia seeds and usually have a container of them in my refrigerator. The Chia seeds are added to smoothies usually and a few times I have...
