We were able to participate in a special project this past year that has been very different than anything we have done before. We were told that for the project we would need our lift gate and we would be delivering to several residences. Delivering to houses is much different than delivering to a dock.

I still have not got over my fear at a scale house when the sign says go around back driver and bring in your paperwork. When I see this sign my heart sinks and I start wondering what in the world have I done wrong now and what will the scale master say?

Our organization The Trucking Solutions Group Drivers Health Council has been working very hard with Driver Health and other organizations to have the first fun walk at MATS. We have been having weekly conference calls for several months finalizing arrangements and we have some great sponsors I want to start sharing.

Change is a part of life and if we do not change with the times we soon will be no more. We are always looking for ways to improve our business and our lives. It is hard for me to imagine having in my life without a goal.

I wrote an essay on why I would like to be chosen to be one of the participants in the Women in Trucking and Bob Perry, The Trucker Trainer Health Challenge. I was lucky enough to be one of the ten finalists. I have been working on losing weight for the past year but...

Spring is near! We are in the panhandle of Florida and woke up this morning to the sound of rain accompanied by thunder and lightening. What a way to wake up. I am from southern Arizona and I still get a thrill out of the sound of rain.

It amazes me how much our truck wash bill goes up in the winter. A typical truck wash at the Blue Beacon costs between $45.00 to $60.00 depending on what we have done. We often have the truck washed more then once a week.
