    Panther Policy toward Pets and Passengers

    Rob is correct and you need to talk to your vet about the identifying marks. We have a blond cocker spaniel one of at least a million! She does have a few cute white spots on her chest and on her chin that we ask the veterinarians office to please identify on her rabies papers. You also need...

    Sitting in Passenger Seat and DOT

    Believe me I never could explain it either and when we first started I still couldn't explain it. All I can say is in time the 24 hour day becomes a lot easier and you look forward everyday to being in a new place and seeing new things. No matter how you try to explain it to family or friends...

    EO CB channel 29, alive or dead ??

    If all of the expediters would use channel 29 we would leave our CB on. Now the only time the CB comes on is if the road is blocked and then just to find out what the problem is and off it goes.

    Atkins Diet

    Good Luck to you guys. Quitting smoking had to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! Never again will I go through that so that is my incentive to never start again. I felt like I was giving up my best friend even though the smoking was slowly killing me. Now 10 years later I do...

    What's the best way to boil water in trk?

    I thought of something else that works well. When I am at home and have left over spaghetti I put enough noodles and sauce for one serving in a freezer bad and freeze that.

    The Federal Government has deemed in their infinite wisdom that you have to be in the sleeper getting your 10 hours of rest. If you are in the cab you are to log legally on duty not driving!
