Glad you are still here and kicking!!

We read read read about trucking, corporations and staying in touch with the business world. We are both interested in taking some on line courses and wondered if anyone else has tried this? It seems like the more you learn the more you want to learn.

RE: Do you take the time to continue your educatio I think it will be really beneficial to anyone to know a second language. How are you taking Spanish lessons in the truck? What kind of program are you using? Your pictures are great and the trip looks like a fun adventure. It would be nice...

Very good idea!! I bet it will not take a month to figure out if you like it or not. I know that as a married couple you have to learn to have disagreements in a different manner then you would if you where at home. Sometimes you just have to go to the sleeper and chill for a little bit. I...

LOL That was cute!!

We researched the job and company first then bought the truck to fit the job. Lots and lots of research and so far we are sure happy with all of our decisions. Good Luck

Hi Randy and Patty We had a great time exchanging stories with you also. We finally made it out of Atlanta in the afternoon and are sitting in Charlotte. Did go far!! We have also heard that the nicer dual control air mattresses can be custom made for the truck. They are a little pricey though.

outwardbound 2, I had to laugh about only hauling one skid. Bob does try to remind me once in awhile that we should watch our weight. That is also when I remind him we have an extra axle. We do have a 96" sleeper that is really nice and we enjoy the comfort. We try to stay out a long time...

We are sitting in Temple GA waiting for a load and where lucky enough to park next to Bigdog and his wife. What a nice couple with a very nice looking truck. We also hope we are around next time they have a slight miscalculation on who's turn it is to keep track of their keys!

You are right we are spoiled and the best part is we know it! The rice cooker is not 12 volt and Bob has said it really does not hit the batteries to bad. We have an inverter and a generator so I only buy electical appliances.

We have a electric rice cooker in our truck and have found that it is also great as a spaghetti cooker. The eclectic rice cooker heats the water a lot faster then a microwave does. We have found our rice cooker will have just as many uses as the crock pot. Now we need something for our garlic...

Rex, Thanks for the information. I will be ordering our Air Tabs next week and hope by the Expo to have a report on them. I will be adding 3 too boxes to the truck next time we are at home and the air tabs so I should be able to have a pretty good idea on how the air tabs change our fuel...

Rex, Thanks for the update on fuel. I also felt that helping the stability of the truck would improve the fuel mileage. With fuel prices going up everyday anything we can do to help our fuel mileage will affect our bottom line. Where they pretty easy to install? We are planning on being at...

Rex Thanks for the update, keeping track of everything, and sharing with the rest of us. You did not mention if the fuel mileage is higher then your pre tab mileages or about the same. Thanks

NYC hands down. We would like to go see some shows and also Times Square and the list goes on and on. What fun it would to go there with plenty of money and not have to worry about the truck. Someday we will be able to do that. It is on our long list of to do's

I have heard that when you purchase a new truck you can buy Gap insurance are no depreciation insurance for the first two years of vehicle. I believe these people have the policy through OOIDA. I don't know what is costs. I imagine it is not cheap. I have also called our house insurance to...

That truck is going to have so much room how are you going to handle it?? Good luck I am sure you will do well.

Dont forget to figure in all of the extra costs of running a semi compared to a straight truck. Taxes, insurance and tolls ect. Packmule is exactly right on the bottom line is the figure you need to know.

I talked with out insurance company this morning to verify all the information and also if we need a rider for everything extra we have added to our truck. With our policy if we total our truck they will pay the least amount, be it market value or stated value. If you check with a dealer on...

Glad you found that one the post is great!
