I agree let TA know how you feel.... We vary rarely park out front unless we specifically are told as a straight truck that we can park in the front. I am assuming you are in a van and not a straight truck? When I first looked at your post my thoughts were truck stops are for parking...

A new activity to check off of the bucket list.... The Las Vegas Motor Speedway has always got something going on and a new thing for them is U-Drift... We were able to watch a competitors one Saturday night and it looked like a blast. We were then in Las Vegas again and decided to give...

This looks like a fun thing to do with a book after I have finished reading it. My daughter sent me this link as her friend has been tracking a book they left at a Starbucks that has been criss crossing the country. Welcome to BookCrossing I think this could be fun for those who still...

We have not reached the plateau of being rich and famous... We are still copper plated and have not reached the gold plated standards you guys have obtained yet... I really got a chuckle out of reading your post it was fun. We are still of the truck drivers who have to use baby wipes at...

We also have a locking differential and we have a lift axle which all help when on ice, snow or when stuck. We only needed one set on our drives. Our goal is good fuel mileage and as such we have the lowest rolling resistance tires we can get which are not good on slick roads. We do not run...

The chains are not cheap and they are not of cheap quality. The list price is $1,800.00 and to have them installed in North Vernon is $600.00. You can buy them all over the country and have them installed in different areas and I would check on their prices. North Vernon, IN is where the...

I do not where you guys are seeing trucks stops not covered in ice in the winter when the interstates are clear. When I did not know any better I managed to get us stuck in one of them and Bob had to get the chains, lay them out so I could gain traction to get out of the rut I created. For...

For some reason Moose I am not thinking your shower sounds very relaxing... I had not thought about winter and finding water thanks for the info.

We do not have a shower but have a 10 gallons tank for water and a 3 gallon hot water tank. In our old truck we filled with bottled water that we purchased at Walmart. We use more water now then we did in the past as I have found it much easier to cook in this truck. We bought a filter in the...

How many times over the years have we pulled of a nice clear interstate to pull into a truck stop that is covered in ice? How many times in a straight truck have we backed into a icy dock to have our drives slipping and skidding around to try and get out of the dock area? How many times have...

Lawrence I really like the interactive map! I was working on the thread about On Spot Automatic Chains and thought it would be nice to add their booth number. Talk about quick and easy then.... I got to looking around and realized I had no clue on some of the names and what their product...

For those of you with Freightliners and wide base singles who have tried to get Onspot Automatic Chains you know this has been a problem. The throwing arm could not clear the brake chamber and throw the chains correctly. We have had our truck at Onspot twice in the past few months and they...

A new discount has been added to the extranet recently. There is now a discount to purchase On Spot Automatic chains. We have been talking to drivers for several years who have the On Spots and how pleased they are with the chains and this company. We were finally able to get the...

My daughter sent me this link as she thought it was perfect for truck drivers: Welcome to BookCrossing This reminds of geocaching as when we make a find we record the find or if we move a trackable the owner can see where all his token has traveled. Most books once I am finished reading...

I like it very good job. How up to date is the map as I know people are still trying to squeeze in.

I cannot wait to meet him. One of our friends was interviewed by him for a TA magazine article and he was very impressed. Sounds like he is very nice in person. The Expo is going to be amazing this year!

I believe before an officer got into our box I would make a note on our BOL that he got inside the box. Your logs would indicate you were stopped at a scale and the notation on your paperwork would need to include his name and badge number. I would ask him to initial the paperwork and if he...
