A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy hot shot lawyer was questioning Clyde. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer. Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow...

DOT was working hard at both coupes on I55 today. While I made it through without having to stop, the roosters were in the yard working hard. South bound side had a sprinter van pulled in.

International trucks on the road? I'm talking the class 8 tractor type. Are they making a comeback? Or have they never been gone? It just seems that I am noticing more of them lately. International always had a high number of class 7's running around. But I don't remember the class 8's in...

Anybody else in Miss this week or last? DOT was working hard to earn your dollar. They were out in force at night on the east side of Jackson on the I20. While I managed to dodge all they had there, they finally caught up to me when I scaled on on my way back to Tenn on I55. Full level 1 with...

I just had an alignment performed on my truck. The truck was eating the inside tread of my inside tires on my drive axle. It now drives like a new one and will stay between the lines now. This is the first time I have ever had to have this done to a straight truck. While I have heard of truck...

This day is right up there with my favorite days of the year. In fact, I am writing Obama to see if he will consider making it a national holiday. Expediters will probably not get to take it off, but don't you know federal employees would appreciate another holiday for them?
