What a surprise to see this post!! I have been in a tizzy over the fact we had a late pickup on our stats posted the first part of December. We made that pickup, did out departure call and were gone before our appointed pickup time. You sure do not want to let a late pickup or delivery stay...

I used to carry a steam iron and ironing board what a pain in the behind. I finally left the ironing board at home and now just carry an iron for emergencies. I have also tried a million different ways to fold out clothes but still no luck. We are lucky though our uniforms really are easy to...

Good for you Big John! There is a lot for her to learn that you all ready know and have forgotten how you learned it. You know a lot of short cuts that the rest of us "Newbies" still have to figure out. I hope you have the chance to show her all of your favorite places that you have only been...

What to mean is interesting is they know that most of their solo people will quit or they will get into a lease purchase and not be able to afford the trucks and lose them. Odd way of cutting back your fleet.

Wow that is amazing and scary! I wonder what will happen with all of the guys that ride with their wives? Lots of those solo trucks have a passenger with them.

Last Chance!!!! Did anyone try anything new over the holidays or have a holiday recipe they want included in the cookbook? We are getting ready to send the recipes into the office for publication.

How many of you have one or just got one for Christmas? The girls got this for Bob to play with our Wii and we are having a blast with it. We are still wimps and just use three keys but someday there will be progress. Great game to play in the truck while you are watching it snow or it is...

The concept sounds interesting. So many people are sick of Wal-Mart that I can see them having a pretty good chance of making it. We will sure give it a try if we see one and they will allow a truck to park on their lot.

I think from even before you get your first truck or start driving you will be valued on this website as we all have different backgrounds that can help each other or offer insight. I have also managed to lock us out of the truck but now due to idling. I have to ask why you leave your truck...

Another thought that scares me about getting your own authority is the amount of brokers filing bankruptcy. You and your bill will be on the bottom of the list to get paid. I would think you would need a large emergency fund to get you started and a few of your own customers so you would not...

The inside of our windshield is hard to clean also on the truck so I can only imagine how bad it must hurt your shoulders. Great idea.

Steve you are right this is not rocket science. The idea of a seal is an added protection to keep the cargo safe that you are responsible for. If you leave the shipper with a seal and you have not sealed the truck you are putting yourself in jeopardy. When Bob drove for USX every load was...

Oh Cheri cannot wait to meet her! Molly is tentatively interested as long as she does not move to fast as she cannot keep up with her.

Is anyone else tired of snow yet?

The "C" word is not allowed in our house!

On our BOL's we have a line that is checked saying the seal was intact that we check and the consignee signs when accepting the freight. We also carry bolt cutters and often the consignees bolt cutters are shot or then have left them on someone’s truck. The seal though is not cut unless...

You know OVM there is not a doubt in my mind that if worse came to worse Bob would freeze before he let me freeze. I am spoiled rotton!

Hey Moot we also have a rattle in the dash and you can only hear it when we idle. I figure it is code for "Do Not Idle Do Not Idle Do Not Idle" so we shut the truck off to get rid of rattle. I cannot tell you how many times Bob has pulled the dash apart looking for that rattle!

One of the things we have always taken for granted is our Rig Master being there for us. Last year our Rig Master trying to gel up and the light bulb went on finally in my head. We could always sleep dressed but that sure does not sound like a lot of fun. I have started carrying more blankets...

Happy New Year from frozen Wilkes-Barre PA and the Petro.
