    Michelin Super Singles

    LOL OK we have been busy! So far we love how the ride has improved. We are just now starting to see our fuel mileage climb. When we first put the singles on the mileage dropped almost a full mile per gallon. We have put about 12,000 miles on the tires and we have now gained back the mile...

    Q&A

    rfrogger, The accountant that LDB suggests is a very good one and worth every cent. If you are going to claim Per Diem you must have a home or your truck will become your home and you lose the per diem. I believe to qualify as a home you must make regular monthly payments on the home and it...

    cpm

    When talking to other Owner Operators about cost per mile we have found no one seems to talk the same language. We like to know what our cost per mile is for just the average cost of fuel then we also like to know our cost per mile with all expenses figured in. That number includes all costs...

    Air Cards

    pelicn The last time I checked with Sprint the 5.00 for Canada only reduced your fee per minute. If you check with them and they have a new plan please post it! We felt 5.00 extra a month and only a reduced per minute fee was not enough incentive to have that service. We turn off all but one...

    Unexpected Help in Odd Places

    Since we had never been to the area before 911 I cannot say if this is true or not. Bob thought that maybe after 911 and so much help and support came in from all over the country and the world that changed some attitudes. I don't know what the deal is I will admit we are honked at more in...

    Unexpected Help in Odd Places

    We are from the midwest and had several preconceived notions of New York city, the vicinity and of the inhabitants. We have had two rather odd experiences recently. We where on the I278 in New York City and realized we had missed our turn so where getting off to do a U-Turn and get back on...

    Logging Issues

    If you are using an EOBR with the Qualcomm do you have to log in and what happens if you do not? I am under the impression that if you do not log in the truck is just actually logging the miles. Those of you that are using this what do you do if the mechanic takes your truck for a test drive?

    Do you think DOT singles out straight trucks?

    I was pulled in for a Level 1 inspection in Kentucky and they had also ran out of stickers. I told the DOT guy that is was not fair!! He just laughed. Was really a nice guy though.

    Logging Issues

    There has been many discussions we have listened to among drivers. If you own your truck and your truck is your only form of transportation and you use the truck for personal use such as going to the grocery store, Wal-Mart,Home Depot or various other personal uses do you have to log?

    Fireflies/Lightning Bugs

    I just love it when we get to see a lot of them with their little green glow. Have to agree with Mike though when you run into a bunch of them a tear off on the wind shield would really be nice!

    Does your SO sleep like this????

    Boy do I love pedicures but I sure would hate for someone to show mine off like that. How is your life insurance and do you have insurance on your camera? I can see someone benefiting from both. I do think as a pet owner though I could see Molly sleeping on the pillow and we would get to...

    Well , they fooled me.

    You know with cattle they just stink but you do have to watch them as when they go potty sometimes it shoots a long way! I know that from experience! Pig though smell and make lots of loud noises. I could just hear Bob if I had done that! Sometimes men do not see the humor in some situations...

    Well , they fooled me.

    Dieseldiva you are right it was me driving. I just had to put that I in there. I was trying to stick to the we but it didnt work. Bob couldnt believe it when I pulled up to that line and once in the line you cannot get out! I am glad to hear I am not the only one that has done that.
