Trucking Solutions Group Conference Call Solar Panels make sense for Expediters - Ask questions or listen Is solar power in your future? For the trucking industry this may be a good option, at the very least to assist in reducing the run time of the diesel powered APU. On the broader...

Article on Team Run Smart by Jim Klepper about privacy and the lack of it… He lists states that still have some privacy but that list is not very big. I found it interesting reading and very disconcerting. This paragraph in the article sure got my attention: The facial databases have...

Best fuel card I have heard of is the one NASTC offers. While there is a membership fee the fee is quickly covered by the discounts. We know several independent operators that are members of NASTC and their discount is the same as ours or better. Theirs is close enough to ours that it will...

You have a very long memory Zorry! That would have saved me a lot of money and heartache. That cup might be more valuable then I thought.

Seat Belts do not make us better drivers but in some instances instead of hitting the windshield or the floor we can be held in our seats and possible control our vehicle after an impact instead of being knocked out or thrown from the vehicle. Drinking and Driving makes no sense.

Cheri…. You hit on the other awesome thing about this great cup! It does not spill when knocked over. I have tested this more then once and I still jump when the cup falls over. The cup is sealed very well and when you take a drink you squeeze the cup.

Moose we by our own choice should wear a seat belt each and every time we get in a vehicle. If we made the decision to protect our lives then there would be no need for these rules is what I am saying. FMCSA CSA DOT ATA And any other agency should not have to worry about us wearing...

Article by Jim Klepper about Affirmative Defense and he sure presents some ideas to think about. Here is a quote from the page: With any affirmative defense you must first admit the crime then use the defense as an excuse why you should not be punished. Article on Team Run Smart page...

Jenny I talked with another driver this past weekend that also prepares all of their meals this way. I think that is a great idea and I will concentrate more on getting that done. Great list of foods also. Do you have any ideas for breakfasts? That is a meal I struggle with as I get up so...

That is the deal of the day at Khols and I might have to stop be there: Contigo Astor Stainless Steel Thermal Travel Mug

wwgx90 notice oh their website there are two coffee mugs that look very similar BUT have different amounts of times they will keep the coffee hot and of course they cost different. We will be near a Khols this weekend and I am going to check these out. I know they would make great gifts for...

Cheri it is not that HOT but it keeps is almost as hot as it does when I first fill my cup an hour later. When I start driving and I make my two cups of coffee I hated it when my second cup was cold when I got to it.

We will stay out and spend extra time at Christmas with family.

I like my coffee HOT and all of my travel mugs within a short period of time allow my coffee to get cold. You might say I should drink it faster BUT I like to make two cups of coffee when I start driving and each goes into a travel mug. Well I found a Keurig Contigo Auto Seal coffee travel...

We find ourselves at this location often when out in California. We have done numerous 34 restarts here and we find this place is a great break from trucking. Our first goal is to cross over the hill and interstate I-10 to see a movie, eat, or pick up supplies for the truck. The sidewalks...

Interesting thought but as I understand it any work for compensation must be applied to your on duty time in trucking. Trading work is bartering. So if you Phil polishes Joe's tanks and wheels and Joe does nothing for Phil in exchange that will be fine. If working at a terminal as a dock...

It depends…. What company are you with? What division are you in? When we were with surface we had a hard time getting out of there, now that we have our clearances that is a good area. Now is it a good area around Thanksgiving that is a good question.

Frank I use Quicken and I often struggle wondering what category I should enter a deductible expense under. Drug tests are what first comes to mind. Is there by any chance a listing of the categories and what should be entered in each so that they will be entered correctly when we give our...

Happy Birthday! Have the best one ever and don't do anything I would not do!

They were working on this project when we were there Moose… It is pretty cool but I consider opening and closing the TT as part of my pre trip and post trip. The other nice thing is that to close the TT forces us to get out and look where we will be backing. The Trailer Tail seems to be working...
