When we were driving we had a cat that we got while at orientation for C&M. She got the name Hattie because most companies back then would give you a cap when you were in orientation. C&M didn't have caps but the owner went out and rescued a liter of kittens when we were there, and Wendy fell...

Lawrence things sure look like you have come a long way since that first one at the Detroiter. I miss those days and wish I could attend one of the new events. Good Luck and I hope everyone has a great time.

Howdy Thinking back on things, we always seemed more comfortable on the road. We really treated and thought of Expediting as our Lifestyle, and home-time was what we had to do once in awhile to take care of personal thingys. In our case we didn't have our own home to come back to, or kids, or...

Howdy What was wrong, the load got delivered, you had that nice cooling rain to keep things comfortable while the work was done. You spent the weekend at home. Sounds like things worked out pretty good. What would of happened if you hadn't been checking your gauges and knew about the...

Don't they have some TV show Jersey Shores, or something like that with a bunch of HOT young women running around half naked with the Governor in his tight little speedo suit. What could be better than that. I'm beginning to think that my wife might be onto something with her talk that...

Maybe you could haul "Miniature Logs". They have miniature cows, miniature pigs, miniature dogs, and miniature goats. From what I have heard some of the ranchers around hear saying is one thing that isn't miniature about them, is the price they get for them. A miniature cow goes for about the...

Howdy I always wanted to get a load that would get me close to Mare Tranquillitatis, and see what was left of the Eagle ship, and maybe get some good souvenirs while there. We did get to see a lot of places we never would have even come close to, and missed out on a bunch of other stuff...

Howdy Been around Forums for awhile, going back to the Joe Roman Forum and the early days of EO when my wife was one of the first moderators. They can be great when all is going well, or can cause some bad feelings when someone feels the forum (Mean Ole Moderators) aren't backing them about...

We pretty much just did 5 hours driving and 5 hours in the sleeper, especially on the cross country trips. For us we found that the 5 hours was about our limit for a sleep period while the truck was running. Some folks liked to do 8 or 10 hours but we felt the most refreshed on our plan. Of...

Howdy Been a long time since we had to deal with the dreaded dispatchers and home-time. We would stay out 2 to 4 months at a time (Maybe a layover at the house if close by, but still in service) No way of ticking us off more than the call 2 days after getting home and telling us we just...

Howdy Note to self...Stay away from Hiney Trucks.

Howdy Just remember those antiques were state of the art in their day. Sometime in the future folks will be looking at the trucks of our era and drooling about the good old days of the 2010 era. (50 Years in the future) Dad did they really have actual drivers in those trucks, and why...

Howdy I see this thread is a bit old and hope the issue has been resolved. My main concern would be if there was anyone out there looking for you because of whatever this incident really was. Did they leave the scene of an accident, where there injuries, who knows, and until you do know the...

Howdy I figured I would give the Eclipse program a try. I just made up a run the way we used to do it and ended up with violations all over the place. It's going to be hard to teach this OLD GEEZER new tricks, if it comes to that.

We used to have all this logging stuff down back around 2001. I don't think I would have a clue as to do any logging. One of the big things that stopped us from returning in the past was the change they made for teams splitting hours. Now life maybe soon allowing for us to make our own...

Howdy Several years ago we got caught in the traffic getting out of the Talladega race. I usually kept good track of were all the races were running. Needless to say I BLEW it that weekend. Got to sit and look at the track for a couple of hours from the highway, so that more than made up for...

Howdy I set my clocks back last night before I went to bed...Should I set them back again this morning????

Howdy Just be glad you are not dealing with the old "Highway Master" system. We used to love that thing when we ran for LEA.

Howdy Will the first person that is leaving Texas please stop and give me a ride back to the USA. Been stuck here for several years, and would like to see rain and snow again.

Howdy It seems like 6 years is a long time to take to get in touch with you. I have seen Texas justice from the wrong side, and I tell you I wouldn't trust law enforcement in Texas. I used to be behind the police 100%, but now I wouldn't trust them about anything, even a 6 year old seat...
