    transporter Diet aug 15

    FYI watch out closely for the HFCS! You will be amazed at all the food that contains it. It is POISON! Some breads, ice creams, breakfast cereals, prepared foods from the freezer, ect always look at the ingredients to see if the item contains it. :rolleyes:

    Blow by weigh station

    When we were new to expediting I accidently passed a weigh station in Maine. The weigh station is to the right just after going through the toll gate.

    Pilot and showers

    If you guys (CV) have a CB why not just ask if anyone has an extra shower? Can't see paying for it when most trucks accumulate more then needed. Hubby and I usually accumulate more then we need as when moving we usually fuel 2 to 3 times a day. Then each shower can be split in two for driver and...
