LOL He is, but his momma isn't! Like I tell him and hubby, don't matter how big (6'4", 240 lb) or how old he gets he will still always be mommas baby! LIKE IT OR NOT! :p

Yes this would be great. Miss Minnie has a home vet, I have spent almost 5000.00 on vet bills now in the past year and a half, this latest edisode with the parasite ran around $500.00 between the three vets. But Miss Minnie has also had a knee replacement a year ago this May and is into the vet...

Have thought about it Greg, but to be honest our investment will be in the truck we eventually put on with the company. I think any O/O with a company does have an investment with the carrier. When these O/O's place a truck with a carrier they are investing in that company through that truck...

Ditto . . . we never park at the truck stops other then Laredo, El Paso, or along the Mexican border. We go to the truck-stop fuel, shower and head out for more desirable locations. It is so much better then sitting and smelling urine and body odor. lol :D

Thank you OVM, we are very happy and do plan to eventually buy a truck of our own. We want to wait until our son is out of college in another year and a half before we start thinking of it but I can tell ya that when we take the plunge it will definitely be with Express-1. We actually opened a...

Actually no I do not driver for ES, who is a good company to drive for by the way. I drive for a small fleet owner, George Mullen. Why we get miles has nothing to do with who we drive for! It is because unlike some of you (not all, just a few and you know who you are) we do not "cherry pick" our...

We were in El Paso over the week-end for a Monday morning delivery. Was 117 in the Petro parking lot. I have a rubber matt on the floor between the two seats . . . it melted to the floor. :mad: :D

He started good with his investment. . . you can't make the number 1 expediting company number 1! You can only keep it number 1! :D

Being rear ended by the 2500lb car is no picnic either. I was rear ended by a drunk driver in a small pick-up truck. He went throught his windsheild, my passenger had a broken back, I had C2 and C3 in my neck fractured, totalled my brand new car that had all of 1800 miles on it. That was in 1992...

I think it is fabulous that Jacobs believed enough in our company to INVEST 150 million dollars in it! It says a lot for how great our company is. Ya know, the then . . . when Susan called us in Oct of 2009 and said our truck was being pulled from Tri-State and placed with Express-1 we were...

No, we do not know what the worm was. According to the vet parasites are species specific and it is very unlikely it would transfer to humans. (We were worried about that also) Yes, some parasites will try to cross the barriers of species but it is not common for this to happen. The one vet sent...

Another warning . . . beware of parasites! My darling Miss Minnie picked up a parasitic worm somewhere in our travels. We are pretty sure it was in Laredo as we do not take Miss Minnie outside when it is rainy or cold, ever since her knee replacement she is very prone to the cold and wet. She...

Update, just heard on CB some trucks got hit by the tornado on I-40.

Joplin Tornado upgraded to Cat 5. Winds in excess of 200 mph. Just passed through Joplin earlier today. OMG it is really bad. Headed to Tulsa then on to OK City, Ok. Tornadoes on the ground in Ok City. Sure hoping we don't encounter one. East bound trucks keep saying turn around tornadoes on the...

Video taken from inside the tornado. Pretty intense! Joplin, MO Tornado: Horrifying Video From Inside The Twister

Gets ya thinking though lol! :D Me, I say just simply don't take anything that could compromise a test period. . . ever! Like you said, it could cost you your livelihood! Personally I would still prefer the hair follicle test. Less embarrassing . . . I'm just saying it could cause an innocent...

Sure I could get my medical records from my doctor but I don't think a lot of drivers have a regular doctor that they see exclusively. Especially ones that have recent relocations or just live in their trucks. We get home maybe once every 3 months or so, there are times we go to clinics or the...

Here is the thing with the drug testing using the hair follicle. I do not use drugs, smoke or drink. Now having said that Xmas before last I had out-patient surgery. After the surgery I was given a prescription before going home. Even though it was quite painful I did not have the prescription...

I agree with that! I have been drug tested twice in the last year (with-in 6 weeks apart) and I don't only not do drugs but I don't even drink or smoke! (Nothing against those that do I just personally don't like the habits, think smoking is nasty and disgusting and never developed a taste for...

ROFLMAO BIGTImE! LOL Guess they will have to keep EVERYWHERE shave to beat the test! :D
