We have found that expediters seem to be more communicative then and other form of trucking we have been involved in.

Yes we have had the ECM changed and so far fuel mileage is the same and since we run so slow we have seen no difference in performance. We have been running the mountains of Califonia and Nevada and everything is good. We did not expect any change in our trucks performance and so far we have...

We found the dates at Casa de Fruta out here in Caifornia. They carry them year round. The ideas are great for salads.

This seems like another reason to run your truck down around 60 mph or less so if you do have a problem you can correct it. If you are governed at 65 mph that does not mean you have to run that speed everywhere you go.

I really think TA missed the boat with this new promotion. Everywhere I seem to read about over weight truckers and the health risks of our profession. I felt as if TA should have invested the money in a healthier menu that would list the nutritional value of every meal they serve. The TA...

Nellis AFB Las Vegas Silverton Casino Over 200 Airman and their families The Silverton Casino located just across the street from the Las Vegas TA hosts a couple amazing events. These two events are free to all Airmen of the RED HORSE Squadron and their families. The first event was a pre...

India I thought of you today when I found some medjool dates with walnuts in the middle they are awesome! I think of you everytime I see these dates. That was a great information you posted a long time ago. I enjoy summer and the summer salads and all of the fresh fruit.

Leo good deal posting this I will be on the phone today. Last thing the road as us need is to haul more weight and be longer. Sometimes I think we are the only work force that instead of asking for a raise asks for more to do and more stress to go with it. Smaller trucks and less weight will...

That is a really good one! F.M.A.

Wow that is really cool and congratulations to you guys! Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

There is another way to look at this problem. I believe the showers are $10.00 bucks so instead of buying food at the TS when you have so many other choices just buy the shower. I agree with OVM write often to the corporation headquarters. Call and find out where you need to send emails...

SunnyJoe your first obstacle I see is you are going to be running solo. Before you jump talk to as many people as you can with each company that are solo drivers to see how each company is structured. Most of the bigger companies are structured towards teams and the solo person struggles. If...

Greg, I am very guilty of getting into my book and walking and not watching what is going on. Wow you are lucky not to have been hit. Very good reminder Thanks Greg. Linda

Yes I think Molly does know how important she is and she gives us unconditional love and has for the past 13 years. Goofy dog thinks if we come up with a plan such as go drive a truck she is right there to help us. Joe, I am sure Bob would agree with you on being treated as well as Molly...

One of my goals this year was to start eating healthier and to get more exercise. Our youngest daughter gave me a Nano IPod and the Nike Plus to keep track of how far I walk. The Nano in itself is awesome as you are able to listen to books, music or podcasts. http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/...

All I can say to this is THANKS I must be getting better at conveying my thoughts!

We made the choice to leave our 9 to 5 job many years ago. The reason we made the choice is we no longer wanted to live under the requirements that were imposed on us by our careers. Our careers required us to have certifications to stay current and also other rules that we had to follow...

No offence meant but have you never taken an Express Load when an Express truck was sitting there just because you had more dwell time? The hard truth is we can probably run cheaper then you can. The rules change every day out here and the rules have changed once again. You have a choice...

Joe FCC is not forcing you to get the speed limiter they are giving you a choice. If you choose to stay in T-Val then you will have to make the choice to put the speed limiter on.

pjjjjj I said talk to the recruiter to get names of guys doing what you are doing so you could get the facts. The recruiters have names of people in your area willing to talk to other drivers. Maybe we just have an odd recruiter but from day one here he has called to see how we are doing as...
