India I agree I love decorating for Christmas and I will have lots on the truck to drive Bob nuts. I have a nice wreath & candy canes on the front a few things on the dash and of course a few stuffed animals on the bed. I also have a Christmas Quilt I made that will go on the bed. I am thinking...

RE: Please welcome our newest Moderator.. Highway Welcome to the crew!

Thanks Cheri but my reputation proceeds me on this one and everyone knows I hate to wrap.

I have a hard time keeping up with birthdays and the holidays. Time seems to pass to quickly and I forget to send out birthday cards. Then comes Christmas and I spend most of my Thanksgiving wrapping gifts to get them mailed as we will not be home in time for Christmas to mail them at that...

We have some friends that bought a brand new truck, the dealer set up their appointment at another location to have their pusher axle installed. They then actually started with their new truck ready to haul 13,000lbs and only paid sales tax on the pusher. We had ours installed as a accessory...

We do this for the freedom we have and the pay. We make enough to live on and save for the future. While we are doing our job we get to see this great country and meet lots of great people from all over the United States. We have the option of eating out or eating in the truck. We have...

What makes you think either side is a better half? The key word here is team and we are both trying to reach our goals. We are just fortunate that we are in a time in our lives that we can work on our goals doing the same job. Part of the fun of this job is being able to see everything...

We do not care how many miles we dead head as long as the load pays enough. This is a simple way to look at the load offer. If the dh is 200 miles and the load is only 100 miles but the load pays 300.00 why not take it? If we dead head 300 miles to pick up a load weighing 12,000lbs going 100...

When we receive a load offer we figure dead head in with the loaded miles and then make sure the load pays enough for all miles. One thing we also keep in mind is while on the deadhead miles you are not using as much fuel as you will loaded. We look at the bottom line once again if the load...

I believe the showers are only in the service centers.

Don't you just love in the middle of the night to look for a light gray building with no signs? Another one we know is usually wrong is how to get onto a base. We also wish if the directions are off of internet so we know the directions really don't know much more then we know from our GPS. I...

Cheri you have really hit on a pet peeve of ours. I really hate it when the directions say go 3 lights and then turn right without using a street name. To begin with you are not always coming into the town the same way. This another reason I cannot imagine driving anymore without our GPS.

Great Post! We have often thought when an unkempt truck pulls into a property and an unkempt person comes in to ask about the freight that the shipper has to be concerned about their product being safe. We expect a premium price to expedite freight we should be as professional as possible...

Hi BigDog, glad you found help for your tooth and we will sure keep that in mind. Hope you and Patty are doing well.

Now Kraig why would you only wish this on women? I think we all share in this problem since we cannot share to many other things.

and then will you please tell us exactly how to do our job so we can make as much money as you?

We also like to listed to most of XM's channels in the 40's either 41 or 48 mostly. In the mornings I listen to Dave Ramsey, then on to Dave Nemo if he has a good guest speaker if not I listen to either 123 or 124. Bob really likes the Sonic Theater with Sherlock Holmes and the detective...

Leo, We also push OOIDA but not as well as we should. We usually tell people the magazine itself is worth the price to join. We do need to become better educated on the benefits that OOIDA does offer us. Thanks for reminding us.

I am wondering more about the film for the digital camera. I have heard you can use that film to take invisible pictures.

I always say this wrong but how hard would a toaster oven be on the inverter or generator? Our microwave will brown food, but when you use that function the truck also warms up just like a oven. It is sure a case of "If you cant stand the heat stay out of the truck" It warms up enough in...
