    Who has pets with them

    Cheri brings up a great point. Some things are more difficult to do when you have a pet. In addition, we idle (use the generator) now for the comfort of our pet when we are out of the truck, where we might not have had to before.

    Truck driver ran over and killed @ Loves Truck Stop parking lot

    How sad. I always try to make eye contact with the driver, and never walk close to the front of a truck at the fuel island.

    Who has pets with them

    There are shipper/receivers that do not allow pets on their property. If you are a team, a co-driver can wait outside with the pet. That's what we do. I have seen drivers with pets leave the pet tied up or in a crate outside the gate, but I could never do that.

    Saying Good Bye to Trucking

    Although we've never met, you've been one of those "screenames" that I paid attention to. I can't imagine what you must be feeling at this time. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. One day at a time. Please take care of you and please don't be a stranger here.

    Sitting at the Pilot in 78 in Memphis. We only stopped to grab coffee and were headed down to the J in Olive Branch. We haven't stopped here in about 4 years and I was actually amazed. The parking lot is spotless, and they now have security walking the lot. We decided to stay, and I can say...

    Portable Kerosene heater

    DOD Clearance

    We run alot of DOD loads. I would say yes it's worth it. I just noticed you said a "van". I'm not sure how many escort loads, if any, are being done now. We haven't had one in a very long time. I think that's what they used vans for. Someone else jump in here if I'm mistaken please

    One Dispatcher over another

    We have our "favorite" dispatchers, but not because of things they've done for us, but because they are a pleasure to deal with. Dispatchers that know what is going on, and are immediately there to help if needed, or leave us alone to do our job.
