Since I don't know where the suggestion box is, I'll type mine here, and hope it reaches the right pair of eyes. First, could the fleet msgs be held until afternoon? Because drivers who delivered early in the morning are just nodding off around 0800, after driving most, if not all night, and...

A driver friend said that Nations Express is closing the doors in early June - anyone else hear the rumor? :confused:

No, this doesn't belong in the Truck Talk forum - it's about Bolt Express. Yesterday I finished orientation, and am very favorably impressed by the policies, procedures, and particularly the people. Instead of wasting our time (not to mention insulting our intelligence) with stuff like "eat a...

YouTube - BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2009 SUSAN BOYLE (SINGER) (HQ) Sending everyone a big smile :) cause we need it about now...

Has anyone tried this new product? If so, what do you think of it? :confused:

So I got pulled in at the Coffee, Tn scale yesterday for a Level 1 inspection. Was feeling confident, until I turned on the lights (it was still daylight) and none of the markers on the box lit up - Murphy's Law, right? I got the sticker anyhow, as the blown fuse was all they found, but here's...

As you're new here, maybe you didn't realize that most members are bright enough to catch the drift with one post - no need for another, ok? In this case, no need for the first post, as the subject has been covered weeks ago. Sorry you didn't read the warnings then, maybe you'd have Run, Just...

Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling the need for a shakeup, hired a new take-charge CEO. The new man, touring a plant, felt the need to show a 'no tolerance plan' for slackers, so when he spotted a guy leaning against the wall, he went into action. Asking the guy how much he was paid, getting the...

https://www.msu.edu/user/skourtes/myths.html Kind of an eye opener, eh? I just get sooooo tired of hearing the same rants about "lazy people collecting taxpayer money for nothing", and not a peep of outrage over the corporate welfare given to the very same greedheads who are responsible for the...

I'd like to introduce everyone to my new partner, Kenzie. She's a 3 yr old Boston terrier/Pug from a rescue called A New Leash on Life, and she is absolutely terrific! Already housebroken, obedient, well mannered, curious, good natured, healthy, and loves to "go for a ride", lol. We're visiting...

Here on the edge of Lake Erie, it's about 12 degrees, with the wind from 30-45 mph, it feels like -18, and the gusts are rocking the truck! (Airtabs aren't helping, lol) How chilly is it where you are?

I've decided that I CAN share the sleeper with a companion - as long as it's a canine. I've owned and trained several dogs, but all were too big to consider in a truck, so I'd like some feedback to help me choose the right breed of codriver. I know a lot of you have dogs, so help me out please...

With a nod to Skeeter Davis (& Moot) Why do folks keep on wanting To drive all over this land? Why are they in such demand? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when they banned the van. Why do carriers keep on signing Newbies with contracts in hand? Why do they bother to plan...

You get woken up by a noise that you can't quite figure out - sounds like an inverter squealing, but not, sounds like it's coming from outside the truck, but what? Where? And why won't it STOP? It's 0600 *%*$%! It's COLD OUTSIDE IN CONNECTICUT - I DON'T WANNA INVESTIGATE STRANGE NOISES!! Ok...

My laptop (a Compaq Presario) is more than 3 yrs old now, all of it spent in the truck. I am beginning to think about the need to replace it, and wondering: is it likely to give any warning signs that failure is near? Or do they just 'crash & burn' suddenly? If the latter, I ought to watch for...

YouTube - Connie Talbot - Over The Rainbow (BGT Final) At just 6 years of age, Connie Talbot has the most incredible voice - and she's freakin adorable, too! Guaranteed to add a smile to your day. :)

To submit recipes for the cookbook that EO is creating for cooking on the road. Just a few simple rules: It can be made using the appliances commonly found in trucks, ie: crockpot, rice cooker, Foreman or Rocket grill, etc. It is something you have actually made, not copied from another...

For posting about her rice cooker - something I'd probably not have bought otherwise, and it's become indispensable now. :D The other day, I made ham & au gratin potatoes, which turned out nicely (layer thinly sliced potatoes, peeled or scrubbed, with thinly sliced onions, shredded or cubed...

I don't usually pass along the "sky is falling!" stuff, but this one seems credible, given the source: the owner of a gas station. He says he got a call from Exxon tonight, warning him that the price of fuel may jump by $1.00/gal tomorrow, given the probable hit to Houston's refineries. I'm...

After reading about all the awful places, how about mentioning some that were a pleasant surprise? I'm partial to Danny's Big Rig Resort in Phoenix, (I 10, exit 137, across from the Pilot) myself: not as nice as Jubitz, but definitely a step up from the average. "Resort" is maybe...
