Greg you are so right on the booth workers! When we started looking into this business and went to our first Expo in Detroit we had two carriers at the top of our list. One carrier bent over backwards to answer our questions and one carrier acted as if we were putting them out. We talked with...

You sure hit the nail on the head there! I am also addicted to this computer and while Bob is driving I am on the computer. Now though when we are stopped instead of sitting in front of the computer I get out and walk. If we are waiting to be dispatched or the time is good to get a load I...

One of the problems with getting in shape out here on the road for us is the lack of a structured work day and the time to plan an exercise time. We also have not figured out how to make a gym package work for us. I have been involved with both of these guys on learning to stay healthy on...

Greg I have found that to take even 15 minutes out of my day and walk gives me a chance to re group and re focus which then lets me get into a better state. I do not know how anyone could be a carriers pet and get team loads or solo loads that would allow them to exercise. We can only take...

We let our health deteriorate some before we finally decided to get on the ball. We decided last year it was time to take control of our health and stop making excuses. I have started expanding my network of drivers to include people who have lost a lot of weight and also drivers who spend as...

Grill sliced bell peppers olive oil tin foil Make a tin foil "pan" add sliced bell pepper to pan and drizzle with olive oil cook on grill until roasted The grill really gives the bell peppers an awesome flavor. This is also a very colorful side dish if you use one of each color of bell peppers.

I have been working pretty hard on getting a crocheted blanket for my Mother In Law for Christmas. I am trying to get this blanket done before it gets hot! I do not enjoy crocheting in the summer at all!

Music a little mello for my taste but they sound good! Enjoyed the clips and they have my vote.

Ya Ya Ya! I think they were concerned about hurting your feelings....

Hey thanks for posting the pictures! I have more to add from our breakfast at the Cracker Barrel this morning!

When the buttermilk pie came out I had my finger on 911! We were lucky though almost everyone tried a piece and they all survived. MATS was awesome and the crowds were huge. I am sure I walked 100 miles a day and still did not see or talk to everyone I wanted to. The health walk was a great...

We have over 300,000 miles on our wide base singles and we are very pleased with them. The initial purchase is expensive and we would not buy them unless we knew we were going to have the truck for a long time. We will have wide base singles on our next truck as we like the ride, the way they...

Turtle I did not make any of my comments a personal attack on you. I believe I did mention I lightened up and called someone who would handle the thread in question with much more aplomb then I would have.

More activities I just heard about for MATS in the Papa Johns Parking lot. I think the Papa Johns parking lot is well on its way to becoming more popular then MATS: OOIDA’s tour truck, the Spirit of the American Trucker, will be parked at Papa John’s, where you can meet OOIDA Director of...

Wow I had to take a double take on my quote and Bob really laughed over what I had "wrote". I said I DID NOT write that as if you will remember I had to ask you how the heck to spell omelets! Nice one!!

I for one wanted to delete the WHOLE thread as I found it offensive. I have been told I do not have a sense of humor and I found no humor in this, for some reason I still seem to think this is a trucking forum. When I received a heads up on this thread I did go look to see what the problem was...

I am thinking we need a huge breakfast to get us fueled up. I have became a huge fan of oatmeal or omelets which are pretty easy to make in a rice cooker!

There is a very nice grocery store within walking distance from the Papa Johns parking lot where you can pick up supplies. I have a tarp coming that we can tie between two trucks in case it rains! I also (sit down Jeannie and Susie) broke down and bought a small grill to help out with the...
