Hey AnneM we are working pretty hard at getting a fun walk for MATS this year on Friday morning! I will post more on that as we get closer to MATS as it is open to anyone associated with trucking.

We first saw the Parka's while we were picking up at a FedEx Freight or Ground location. I have never seen any pictures on line for the uniforms.

Mr. & Mrs. Layout I talked to Bob about Parka's and we have a pair of these. The coats really are nice but the problem we have with them is they are HUGE and so take up lots of room. We used them in the truck one year and then went back to our old stand by FedEx hooded jackets which take up...

There has been a lot written on sleeping in the truck. Here are a few posts on this subject: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/womens-view/30856-ear-plugs.html http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/womens-view/28545-keeping-open-eye-road.html

We very seldom fuel anywhere else so we use the TA Showers a lot anymore. Some of the TA showers are really pretty darn nice and some of them are not very nice which is the same as any truck stop chain we go to. We have also met some really nice shower attendants at the TA who have seen me...

Finally at least one picture of the truck with our Christmas decorations.

Well I prefer to cook in my Mickey Mouse Flannel PJ's at home! But our here on the road I find myself reaching for the Rice Cooker most often.

We have directions again on a load that make me shake my head. Anyone that enters directions in the computer needs to take a class on this. Directions with no street names only a local landmark do not work for some reason it is hard to see building colors at night. The other problem is the...

I think also think it depends on the family. I prefer to not have any alcohol in our house on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. I have to many memories of the drunken fights, passing out, snoring, in other words the evening and day you looked forward to for a very long time the people who could...

Very nice tradition Wingnut! Christmas is very important to our family and spending time with each other.

Welcome to the jungle!

I received this from Women in Trucking and thought I might not be the only one interested in this. If you are not a member of WIT trucking and would like to join here is the website: Women in Trucking Association Dear Member, You have the opportunity to get fit in 2010 with the help of...

This is a very good thread for suggestions on what drivers are seeing as problems and how they would like to see the problem solved. What an great way for MANY people to discuss issues and the solution they would like to see. As for non White Glove DoD trucks not sure what you mean as DoD in...

Pelgrn we also will be lost without our sticky calender and like you as of yet have not seen any.

Jeanie Dingle looks awesome! What a goofy fun cat. I keep trying to get pictures of our truck but so far it has not happened. I enjoy decorating the truck for Christmas but this year I slacked some. Bob put lights in the grill last year to a switch so I could turn them on while driving. I...

I have found the easiest way for me to shop as I do not like to shop at all is to order what I want. The shipping is a small price to pay over the stress of trying to find what I am looking for in a store and the hassle of checking out. That is truly a situation of poor Bob! Having said that...

I think a lot would depend on the owners knowledge of trucking and the true hours spent keeping trucks on the road. I have not managed a truck but 15 to 30 hours a week seems a little excessive and a pretty broad range to base the numbers on. If there is many trucks then I think a set salary...

You know it is scary when those guys get so blase about the trucks going by constantly.

You have a paint failure before you have a metal failure which is what allows the salt and moisture to get to the metal. The automotive industry isn't going to use anything that costs more than it's worth to them. So using a premium paint at the factory isn't going to happen. Read the owners...

Greyhound? Now that does sound like the worst of them all as your cargo talks!
