You took what I said wrong. I wish that more O/O who are leased to companies would run for the alternate positions. I agree that Expediting is a very small small segment in the trucking industry and the chances of getting elected to the alternate position would be tough.

Many of the Expediters do know Henry since he has been to the Expo twice and he hangs out with the Expediters at MATS. You are right though that until you drive it you do not know it... There is no women on the board that is a driver. A women is on the board that works at OODIA and has never...

What I find odd or disheartening about the board is all of the "Board Members" have their own authority and there is not a women driver on the board.

I do know that of all of the candidates Henry is the only one that has been to the Expo and has spent hours on the phone learning about Expediting. He cracks me up because he calls himself a EID - Expediter in Disguise

We are down to 5 more days to vote online or to get your paper ballot post marked!

We also use the aircuff, but I had forgotten why we had purchased it! How funny brought up old memories.

We use this lock on the steering to deter thieves and it cannot be cut off. Great gadget and I think some of you saw it at the Expo.

One thing we keep in our truck is a fire proof / water proof lock box. The box would not survive a super hot fire or probably in the bottom of a lake, but overall it would help some. I got the box after hearing about a truck burning down and a truck rolling and all the contents spilled and...

Just out of curiosity where are you using a computer? I was thinking of all of the things that we would lose if our truck was stolen or totaled and it is very scary to contemplate.

That is interesting Lawrence and information I did not know.

One of the members of the Trucking Solutions Group has shared his story on the FMCSA web site: Driver Medical Fitness for Duty Pages - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Rich Ash many of you met at the Louisville Truck Show has changed his life dramatically and his story is inspiring.

I feel as if one of OOIDA biggest faults is that they do not get the word out very well to drivers or really even Owner Operators!

OOIDA is for anyone driving a truck. Their benefits are huge with a lot to offer. The one thing I found out on voting was that you have to be a member a spouse cannot vote.

I hope that your van is found quick and that JJ is found safe and sound. One of my fears is someone will steal our truck along with Molly or dump Molly out who has no clue how to take care of herself. I really hope this situation turns out well and my heart goes out to you!

I have purchased the Neat Recipe scanner and it is at home waiting for me. I am interested in what all the software will do. I was also told I would be able to scan business cards and find them much easier than I can now.

I have been using the small craftsman shop vac for ten years and that thing still works like a charm. Our first truck had carpet and this worked well and this truck had a wood floor and it still works well. We have our dog Molly and the shop vac does a good job of getting her hair sucked up...

All above are good points but I would caution against getting the class A unless going into a T/T. If you have to go to school to get the class A the money will be wasted if you do not use it. It is my understanding that if you do not drive T/T in two years you will have to go to school once...

Happy Birthday Lawrence and Happy Birthday to Debbie yesterday! Hope you guys were able to do something special for two days!

I could care less how many miles we drive a week. The less miles we drive a week and the more money we make is the perfect scenario. Less miles equals less wear and tear on the truck, more money equals a happy checking/ saving account. I know I get funny looks when people ask me how many...
