    Q for Panther Folks

    I would post this in the Panther subforum, but it's so quiet down there (I miss the old days of the busy EO forum!). Can anyone explain "protect service"? I hear that phrase tossed around but I'm not sure what it is. It's evidently something drivers ask for when negotiating loads. And is it...

    Sunglasses or sleep won't fix such happy mixups. :)

    First Truck What to bring

    Copies of your prescriptions, both medicines and glasses. Your pet's vaccination certificate, if s/he travels with you. Any over the counter meds you take on occasion. You won't want to get dressed and drive to the nearest Walmart in the middle of the night for a bad case of heartburn, for...

    Flat Rate for FedEx CC?

    Phil, no one here believes you would spend real money to test a theory like this.You have a category on your spreadsheet for "found money", for heavens sake. And truly, back when you drove for FedEx, you flapped the corporate pompoms wider and louder than anyone else here. Why do you feel the...

    Pressure Cookers

    Sure, happy to share. A heads up to other folks living low carb --- when we were back in Syracuse last spring, I shopped at Wegman's and discovered these: Tumaro's Low in Carb Wraps They're soooo much better than any other low-carb tortilla we've tried - they taste and feel like a 'normal'...

    Pressure Cookers

    I have an InstantPot, too. And it's big, but it tucks nicely under the dinette. It's worth the space it takes up - it's very versatile and cleans up easily. I cook a huge package of boneless chicken in 12 minutes, then shred it and use it on salads and in wraps. From pork butt to pulled pork in...

    Never thought about asking at the shops. Good tip!

    Info about Panther Fleet Owners

    I didn't say she leased on to Panther. :)

    Big Truck Where do you fill your water tanks?

    We use the RV islands at the J, usually. If we park at a friend's house or an RV park, we'll take advantage of the situation and top the tank off before leaving. We buy in-line water filters in the RV section of Walmart and change them often. No issues so far. The real challenge is where to get...

    Info about Panther Fleet Owners

    If you're looking for an owner who is honest as the day is long, I know of one. PM me. I'd trust him with my grandmother's money. He was our 2nd fleet owner, and remains one of our best friends. (our first owner sucked thousands of dollars from our income - we didn't know better and she had no...

    #FlashATruckerFriday

    I'm going to find it difficult to flash you while I'm driving a #realtruck under #realdotregulations. Maybe you'd get more responses by posting this idea via hashtagging #iwishiwasaman or #icantaffordporn or #imablatantfailureatlife . Just sayin', akkshole.

    Loves Tire Pass

    Sounds an awful lot like something I should already be handling myself - during my PTI, for instance. And without charge, I might add.

    Ode to Waffle House

    I'm resurrecting this old thread because the code is revealed: Working Tourists: Update: Waffle House Secret Code Now we can have something to keep us busy while we wait for cheesy eggs.

    Sleep, Cravings and Willpower

    Phil is reading a book about self control? I can't decide whether to feel surprise or 'yeah:that'.
