As of July, anyone applying for the required fingerprint/background check for a Hazmat endorsement is required to document the reason their current name does not match the name on their birth certificate. This would mostly be due to marriage and/or divorce, and mostly apply to women, but it...

I 95 is shut down between 20 & 26, due to flooding. Also, parts of 77 are underwater - if your route takes you into the state, check the conditions before you go.

I just leaned of the death yesterday of our own Judy Avery/Pelicn, and I'm not ready to accept it. Judy was someone I admired a lot, and while I knew she was fighting cancer, she seemed to be beating the monster. EO and the world are sadder, without her.

Last week was the first time I had to choose a doc from the registry, and it was an eye opener [literally, lol]. I picked one in Louisville that was away from downtown, where most are concentrated, because I was in the truck. Probably better done when home, with access to a 4 wheeler, if...

Does anyone know of a map that shows the streets/roads under frost law restrictions? I tried the Michigan .gov site, they have lists of them, if you click on the county, which is great if you're local, but doesn't help if you don't know where they are. [Aside: why do road signs also assume you...

For a 5 year old boy with a brain tumor? Quinn's mom is a friend of my daughter, and she says he loves nothing more than getting cards from "faraway places". [He lives in Brook Park, Ohio, so to him, Toledo is a faraway place, lol]. You can check out his smiling mug on his facebook page, Hope...

Highway 59 reopens after truck carrying explosive chemicals closes freeway | News - Home Really? He just did exactly what any of us would do: his job.

Why a federally funded medical center blocked Fox News from waiting room TV?s - BizPac Review According to the President of Family Health Clinics, that is. I didn't put this in the Soapbox because it's not about politics - or rather, it shouldn't be. Medical care, decisions, and information...

The round locks are prone to holding water, which makes them tough to open when frozen. Wilson to the rescue! Just cut a slice in a tennis ball, it slips over the lock and keeps the water out. Plus, it looks a bit silly, and I like that too. ;)

Chicago area, Midwest face 'nasty' weather, tornadoes - CNN.com Y'all be careful, this is pretty scary!

This site is a blessing: About GoodRx I found it awhile ago, but didn't want to share if I hadn't checked it myself. Today, my $76 prescription cost $55, so I can vouch for it. Even if you only pay a few dollars copay, think about comparison shopping your prescription, and filling it at the...

The St. Christopher Fund: A Truck Driver CharitySt. Christopher Truckers Development & Relief Fund | The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) is a christian-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization that provides assistance I found this months ago, and printed one out...

A recent post mentioned using hazard lights to warn of slowing traffic ahead. That's something I've never felt right doing, for reasons cited in the article linked, so I've always 'flashed' the brake lights instead by tapping them. I had no idea one could be ticketed for using flashers in a...

Kentucky State Police: Post 5 News Release Big NASCAR race, so all commercial vehicles get rerouted - has this ever happened before? :confused:

I don't mean shopping for lower standards [if you're looking for that, I wouldn't help if I could], but lower cost. And truck parking - it's amazing how many places offer services for truck drivers, but no place to park a truck. I'd much prefer to use my longtime family doc, but she doesn't do...

Video: West Virginia Rock Slide Closes Stretch of I-77 | CDLLife Not as bad as the closure of 40 a few years ago, but adds a bit of time to the trip.

Driving in Smyrna, Tn, yesterday, on a divided highway, when 5-6 vehicles ahead of me pulled off to the shoulder at the same time. Seeing no reason for it, I kept moving. Then I saw the funeral procession, on the other side of the median. I don't think the law requires drivers to pull over on a...
