I will not drive a Hino again until they fix some of the problems with them. They are to rough a ride. In september of 09 I had to come off the road and have surgery on my neck. I had a protruding disk in my neck completely strangling the spinal cord, almost paralyzed me. I am just now getting...

When I was in college they used our names for the computer systems. The first 6 of your last name, the first and middle initial. So it was WHEELEJM. So I just edited it alittle and got WHEELJAM

If anyone is interested there is a program out there that allows us to do our log books on the computer. It's called DDL or Drivers Daily Log. The major expediters will allow us to use this program. www.driversdailylog.com Panther is the only one that uses the generic log form that comes with...

We have stopped at a few Cracker Barrels across this country. We have never been turned away from one of them. There food is great and resonably priced. The plus side is their menus are sssoooo different from the trucks stops, which is a welcome change.
