RE: Sleeping while truck is moving and you are not It is amazing what hard sleepers we have became since starting this business. When we are parked trucks back in beside us set their brakes, their reefer will come on and off all night and we hear nothing. When you get up in the morning or...

Everyone has there own tips for sleeping while the truck is going down the road but a lot of new people are struggling with this problem. This was our hardest problem to over come when we started team driving. We have picked up a lot of hints that have worked well for us. Split the...

We have been using the T-Chek system for awhile now. When you get your receipt it will only show the cash price. If you want to know what kind of discount you received at your fuel stop you must know the balance before you get your fuel and then call in as soon as you finish fueling for the...

I dont know what you would do with one either so have never bought one!! You will have to tell us what you do with it Broom!!!

With FedEx Custom Critical the dispatchers have at there disposal a HazMat routing program. Very nice system and the dispacher can run your HazMat route very quickly. It is still up to you to double check that route and then also make sure you follow it.

I am not sure where you are having your problems at. We do sometimes have to remind the dispatcher to run the HazMat route when we do our departure call. We run a lot of HazMat loads and on some we have to write the route out on a piece of paper and have found them to be pretty accurate. We...

Could they not re tap the hole and then put a valve in it instead of a plug? If this would work you should be able to get everything you need at a AutoZone or something similar to a AutoZone. If you do this be sure and flush the oil pan to get any shavings out.

I also did not read this post to Bob as I could have just heard the groan in his voice. I love to look at the fall colors on the mountains what a wonderful sight. Sometimes the view outside the windshield is so amazing I just turn the radio off and enjoy. It is so hot right now in...

RE: I'M COMING BACK! IS IT ME. OR IS THERE SOMETHI Welcome back! We also tried to get away from trucking and only lasted about 9 month. It is amazing how this gets into your blood and you are always wanting to go somewhere. An then as greed goes you want to get paid to do it!! What a great...

Rich we where told in orientation that you could use a log book until it was used up then go on to the next month.

Really? Our theory was right? That is almost a scary thought.

I had not heard of that before. Very tricky

When we saw that sign I asked Bob and we decided it was very congested in that area! I wonder what someone that really know will have to say on this?

Boy that is really really gross and pretty scary. Thanks for posting that.

Me too! So my theory is just stay in the truck!!!

Dale wow I didnt know he has a news letter. I love to listen to him and also to read what he has wrote!!

We really enjoy meeting other drivers until we run across the negative one. I get very frustrated with this situation and if at all possible I get out of it and leave Bob to his own devices! He has a lot more patience then I do is my excuse. I want to be rude and blunt and say if you don't...

Greg not all people read all forums! Usually there are not two posts allowed but as you say not all of this one is true. We all still need to be reminded that we do not live in our own little worlds and need to be aware of what is happening around us. This post in hurting no one.

Leo great post and glad you put this in the women's forum. With our jobs we are not at home behind locked doors. Most of us or awake and working at what sounds like the most vulnerable time. I hope all the women and the men read this. I know Bob is also on the lookout when we go in to the...

Leo! You have been redeemed and are doing a great job. A ball cap will be fine now at this point!
