The second truck owner I drove for asked me one day how I was doing, if I had everything I needed. Mind you, I already had $100 of his for cash needs and 2 debit cards in my name on his accounts. I told him I was planning on getting an XM radio and next time we talked he told me he'd ordered...

That must be an invisible sprinter. I just jumped out to say hi and didn't see you. See you in the a.m., Eric.

Are you bringing the doughnuts for the MATS walk?

For those of you looking for us at Papa John's . . . Henry is not directionally challenged. But when he arrived Monday evening someone else was already situated in the NE corner. So we are in our standard location, the SE corner of section C, just north of the C/D drive. BTW, ignore the no...

Moot got me with the Frangos. I'm drooling. :p

Or, how do you know when you've got everything you need? This comes to mind as I eagerly anticipate my annual shopping spree, commonly known as MATS. Do you have the minimum requirements put forward by your carrier or have you gone so far overboard you've reduced your capacity by 1,000...

One of the things I like about the Blue Parrott is that when my first one stopped accepting a charge, I was able to go into their office in New Hampshire and have it reconditioned, Did I mention for free?

You are coming equipped?? :eek:

You are looking forward to the grilled peppers aren't you? :p

Good news for folks who live for food like I do. I just had a load to Laredo, so we are going to be having chicken fajitas one night at the show. :D H.E.B. grocery stores have really good marinated chicken. I'm so excited! Mr. and Mrs. Layoutshooter, are you sure you aren't going to make...

Your smiling faces?

Here we are with just a little over 2 weeks to MATS. Whoo-hoo!! Who's coming? Have you been before? What are you looking for? Do you know we "party in the parking lot"? Do you plan on joining us? Any special requests for the barbecues? If this is going to be a new adventure for you, do...

My theory on the calling is that dispatch knows where I am and that I'm available for freight. If they are on the phone with me they have lost out on time to find me a load. I don't call. I do send qualcomm messages or emails when I have a change in status.

Janet, where were you guys? Dingle said it looks like a good hunting area.

This is a good example for those thinking about getting a truck to know what the requirements and needs are when specing their truck. Because Joe and I haul for different carriers we carry different freight. What works in one situation will not necessarily work in all.

With roll-up doors you lose some height inside the box. With barn doors you may want to check the thickness of the doors themselves. I've seen them 3" thick and in some cases that will make a difference in whether or not you can haul a load. I'm on the short side so I like the swinging...

A good resource to carry with you is "The Next Exit". You can find the book at Camping World or Flying J. It lists businesses and services available at the interstate exits.

Pies? Me? Nope, we did have some great Buttermilk pies imported from Louisville. All I provided was Hot Nacho Dip and the use of a Weber Grill. :)

Shell station on the south end of Muskogee, OK, US 69. Eagle Pass, TX, on the west side of town.

Is that why you missed the dancing in the parking lot?? :p
