I just finished listening to 1000 White Women by Jim Fergus and wonder if anyone else has read this book? I downloaded 1000 White Women to my I-Phone from audible.com and I had been warned the ending would make me cry.... I thought Ya right very few books that are not about animals can make...

The tool boxes were transferred from our old truck to our new truck as well as our lift gate and our wheels. Bob will have to let you know what he does to keep them so shiny. Bob does the work himself and I can only think of one time he had someone help him polish. When we sold our old truck...

I was glad to see Larry Lewis's truck posted on the site. It would be fun to fill up the page with Expediters.

I thought you guys were run Michelin wide base singles? If so enter your truck as the more expediters the better. Beating Henry Albert is tough for sure but we are expediters....

For those of you running X-Ones on your truck this looks like a fun contest: Michelin Americas Truck Tires Home Page

I do this when the weather is bitter cold and it is uncomfortable to sit in the cab of the truck while Bob sleeps. I go inside have a nice breakfast and work on the computer. Cheri I wondered that also about how long people would sit at the counters but.... I usually do not see to many...

We have done this drive a few times and we enjoy the scenery.

I wish we could be there. TA/Petro has really made some great changes for the better. We were in Tonopah, AZ the other day and I noticed a sign that said they were adding outlets under the counters to keep our electronics charged. When I take my computer in I am always looking for a plug in...

They must be Steve to us or we would not have put them on. They are expensive and not something to put on the truck without a lot of consideration. There are times when chains have to be installed and they are heavy and with us running wide base singles the tires chains are exceptionally...

After carrying chains around for 12 years we are glad we now have the On Spot chains and can use them as needed either on the interstates or parking lots.

I found this site interesting for things to do and see while out on the road: Semi Tourism for Stinking Geniuses - Semi Tourist: A Truckers Guide to Fine Dining, Culture, and Adventure

Happy Birthday Terry have fun if possible while in the shop....

This is a really idea and something I hope is being considered.

Jim I wish you luck as well even though you do not need it. Landstar is lucky to get you. Enjoy your new company.

When paid on percentage the authorized dead head miles do not mean as much as long as the load pays enough to take it. The longer our paid dead head miles are the better we like it as we are getting our best fuel mileage with less wear and tear on the truck.

Here is a thread on the Slush Busters and there has been many threads over the years on these: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/49922-how-do-you-prepare-winter.html

This is the 6th year we have used them and they have all had to be peeled off of the truck after winter. I am not sure how you would get one to stick after it started peeling off. Our daughter managed to take one off when she scraped her windshield in the morning.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning!

That is a great story! Thanks for sharing. I hope Mike will be in attendance at the Expedite Expo in 2012 so many of us can shake his hand in person.

DTF Daimler Truck Financial had the best rate that we could find.
