I am not so sure you will have much time to work after going to the gym that many times a day. Not only do you have time for the work out you have to find the place. When under a load with this being expediting not to many places will look favorably on you stopping several time to work out.

RE: Women in Trucking - am I too old at 55 to take Why in the world would 55 be to old to start into this business? We just talked to a couple that are in their middle 60's still going strong and still loving it! Why not do something you enjoy then to be stuck at a 9 to 5 job you hate? This...

We have an inner lift lift gate. It is the elevator style as we where 40' in total length so the lift gate had to go completly under the truck.

We feel Canada is necessary and we will get into a certain area and go often and then we can go a few months and not even get a load offer. We very seldom dead head out of Canada so do not factor that into taking a load. We also do not like to buy fuel up there so if we have to very far into...

We have never regretted the day we bought our lift gate. We bought a large lift gate with several safety features. The lift gate gives us a little edge often on getting a load offer over others sitting around. We paid a small fortune for our lift gate and plan to move it to our next truck...

Good for you quitting smoking has to be the hardest thing I and my family have been through. I WILL never go through that again. I agree with Terry there is nothing worse then a reformed smoker that preaches at all smokers. Every one quits different some it is an easy process and others it...

Cheri! Nice idea thinking out of the box or frig in your case! We have also used the floor of our truck to warm up stuff. Right above the transmission the floor gets rather warm and is a nice heater.

We also use the throw rug over our wood floor. We buy inexpensive rugs with the non slip backing. We have found that the constant shaking out of the run and also washing them we go through several a year.

Greg, not many things can read those CD's though can they? With what we used you could listen to the CD in your computer, on the CD player or on the TV.

What surprises me is the people that do not research this business and go buy a truck. Get out here figure out they hate living on the road and the try kicks in and they have a truck for sale and take a loss.

We wear the FedEx Custom Critical apparel most of the time and for some reason they do seem to spot rather easily. When we take the shirt off and we have a spot I just immediately spray it with Spray and Wash and stick the shirt in the dirty clothes bag. 99% of the time this takes care of the...

I could never get more then one book to fit on a CD and some books took many CD's which is why I went to the IPOD. Once you have an IPOD you will never go back! You know the saying so many books so little time to listen! One of the great joys of this job is getting to hear more books then I...

How does your wife use the hydrogen peroxide? Add it to the water or soak the socks? Now how the heck do you use that nasty stuff to whiten your teeth? You know I really like whites so I hate to get rid of them in the truck so all of the suggestions are very helpful and appreciated.

RE: Women in Trucking - am I too old at 55 to take I was scared to death of this truck till I drove it! I drove Bob nuts in truck stops. When ever we went to a truck stop and there was a LOT of space I practiced backing into different parking spots. I tried from all angles and also straight...

RE: Best Concert you have ever been two OK top thr Rob Zombie God Smack

Well I have several replies to this. We have met both Broom and the Colonel and they BELIEVE me are not the same person! Everyone does get into this business for a different reason and to many it is just a job. I cannot imagine how miserable this business would be if this was just a job...

Sounds like you both had a great anniversary!

Well we do chain and I sure feel safer with the chains on then when a road is open and there is solid ice conditions. We would have automatic chains but they cannot be used on this truck due to the configuration of the lift axle. As we all the say the next truck...

Colorado has different levels and depending on the level what you can get away with. At the highest level you have to have chains so we just ordered a set for the X-Ones. We have not really checked but I am afraid you are not going to be able to just pick them up anywhere. 76 pounds for a pair!
