Greg all I can say is it much easier to be a women then it is to be a man from what I can have seen. I could go on about this all day but I will stop as it is frustrating trying to figure out what women want and how bad some are at expressing this.

Greg one of the things I tell everyone about trucking is how men treat ladies. When going into a truck stop it makes my day when a guy will jog to get the door for me and say good morning. I also know that when driving we men and women are both professionals and the steering wheel does not...

Bill I think you brought up a good point as we are all professional drivers and we wanted to be treated as professionals. In my way of thinking if we need to look and act the way we want to be treated...

I agree with you and when driving down the road and I look over into another truck and not only do I see a sloppy driver I see a dash 6" high in trash with chip bags mixed in I think to myself "No wonder we are not treated like professionals". When you see inside a truck door floor window...

Professionalism goes both ways and it is not just in a drivers appearance.

I felt our instructor did a great job of explaining how to handle an accident, but that was a long time ago. Thanks Greg the truck is performing flawlessly and in my next blog I post our first DDEC report with fuel numbers.

Before you go to a community college make sure that the company you are considering is an accredited school as many are not. Not saying they are good or bad programs but you might not be able to go with the company you want. We lived right by a community college that had an semester program and...

We did go through all of the above information during orientation but a reminder never hurts.

I thought the following was very good information and information I hope none of us ever have to use: Baldwin & Lyons , The Quill August 2011 issue: The Value of a Picture We have all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. If taken correctly, a picture from the scene of a vehicle...

Re: Pet relocation Leo Susie has transported several dogs across country for people and I believe Cheri was going to get involved. Susie has shared stories of some of the dogs she has carried with her and they are fun and interesting.

This article can be found on page 63 or the digital version of The Trucker. http://www.virtualonlineeditions.com/publication/?i=78092&page=1 Dorothy always appreciated any feedback and I hope she will get a bunch on the article that will put a positive spin on what she has written...

Moose article was better then expected... Voie said she believes it's getting safer for women on the road "as more of the male population become sensitive to issues women face on the road". Men are stepping up where a women might need a safe "neighbor" in the parking lot or on the loading...

That is to bad.... I was hoping the article was available in digital form but not yet. I hope that many of the people attending that workshop or who do not feel like victims will submit a letter refuting the statements. Thanks Moose for posting this

We wash our truck approximately once a week and usually at a Blue Beacon and the signs were still there looking good. After six years the signs were just starting to have small hair line cracks in them. The easiest less pain in your arm and fingers would be to pay to have the signs removed...

This is how we took our FedEx Signs off the old truck and it worked pretty well. We removed the signs when it was very cold (snowing) and without the heat gun we would probably still be working on the lettering. We used the Goo Gone as well and our truck looked really good when we sold it. It...

I perused through this site a little and I was impressed with all the information located in one place: B&K Enterprises

Spend as much time reading as possible on the forums. Send PM messages to forum members when you have a question or post the question. If the questions is about a company specific policy it is easier to send a PM to someone who drives for the company. There are different ways to find...

We have spend a nice afternoon at Tom's Farms with Jansiemoo and her husband. Reminded me of La Fruita near Gilroy, CA.

It is funny how drivers can choose to live in their own little private world or go opposite and be involved in a lot. That is part of the beauty of being a driver it is what we make it. I was talking with Kevin Rutherford here at the GATS truck show in the parking lot and the people we were...

We would have to report the same our income is up since April 1st and our mileage is down and our new truck is running fine. We have changed trucks but we are still running mostly DoD loads.
