    giving drivers a bad name

    Well, I've talked about this once before but this was too bad to ignore. Recently we were in El Paso. Just relaxing in the beautiful weather. Looking out the window and in front of us was a Panther straight truck parked in the front row. The guy gets out of his truck, proceeds to his back...

    Not for everybody but.....

    How is it picking and choosing when there are clearly time periods for which things were written. It's not picking and choosing, its what the purpose of certain things were for. Are we sinners because we don't sacrifice sheep or goats to God like they used to?

    Not for everybody but.....

    By the way, since when does God not forgive someone who asks him? God is a merciful God who forgives the people who dont deserve it the most. That's what keeps so many from accepting Jesus in the first place. They believe he can't possibly forgive what they have done....not true at all. He didnt...

    Not for everybody but.....

    These laws in the bible were to give guidelines before we had the ten commandments and are not what we are required to follow. Do you know who Carmen is? The Christian singer back in the 90's? He said he always hated tattoos and thought they were wrong because the bible said so. He said someone...

    Roadside DOT Inspection Poll

    I get full blown inspections about three or four times a year. No kidding. I always have a clean truck and papers in order. We weigh loads that warrant checking, so nothing they should question. I am sshort and sit low, and one DOT said I look like a little girl sitting in the seat. They are...

    bath in truck

    I think having a shower in the truck is nice. Or I did, until pilot took all the drinking water out of the RV fuel island at the flying j's. It's too hard to find water now.

    What Truck stop do you use.

    We go to TA or Petro. Truck seems to run better with Thor fuel. Plus, like their bigger showers and usually no wait. Plus, they never seen to be short on the French vanilla coffee creamer I like so much. Pilot and flying j run out of it, and get mad when I ask them to refill it.

    lift axle

    It is a straight truck with 3 axles. The lift axle has two wheels, so rear is 8 wheels. My question is....if it can weigh 34,000 in the rear it doesn't matter how the weight is distributed on the rear and lift axles as long as in combination it is at or under 34,000 correct? This is not our...

    lift axle

    I was thinking 34,000. Thanks. So it doesn't matter how much the rear and lift axles weigh individually? It's just they can't be over the 34,000? Never used them, so just curious.

    Thanksgiving

    We are staying out. We usually enjoy running on the holidays because we get long loads that you get to take your time on. We use the time to enjoy each other's company and we enjoy making memories of the holidays in different places every year. If we didn't see family often, I suppose we...

    Verizon MIFI Issues anyone?

    Hi, I switched from Sprint MIFI to Verizon MIFI since everyone raves about Verizon's service. The customer service experience has actually been quite bad, lol. Phones signals on our Iphones work great and we have service EVERYWHERE. But the MIFI....nothing but issues? Anyone else have...

    No Mo Points...Pilot

    Lol, why on earth would a van driver think they are a "truck driver?" you are definitely a professional out there, but I don't see any resemblance to a truck driver. A straight truck isn't even hardly a truck driver to some. We have it way easier than a big truck.

    Old Stinky Trucks

    Why oh why on a cool weather day does someone ALWAYS have to pull up next to us in an old truck with stinky exhaust?? I really enjoy my windows cracked or the roof fan on, and everytime I do I either get someone who smokes one ciggarette after another or a truck with horrible exhaust fumes...

    My Truck is My Man Cave

    Haha! That's pretty funny. You know you men like having someone to cook and keep the truck clean and nice. The DOT once told me to tell my husband he was the luckiest man cause we had the best smelling truck he had ever smelled when he opened the door. I'm sure that helped my inspection...

    Garmin DEZL GPS

    We used the Rand McNally for a long time, and used to love it. Then after we did an update it started acting REALLY stupid! So we bought the Garmin DEZL and as soon as we took it out of the box, knew it was going to be our favorite. It's as close to perfect as we have found so far. loving...

    APU out

    that could become VERY inconvenient for you. The last thing you need stressing you out is repairs that aren't being made. I'm not 100% positive about this, but we always heard you were not supposed to run an APU while going down the road, that it could mess it up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

    Why are expediting companies always hiring?

    People get into Expediting and have.no idea what it involves. Then there are people who just have a bad attitude and quit everything looking for the perfect company, lol. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    PA restaurant bans children under 6yo

    I would definitely go to a restaraunt with no noisy children. People are mad because kids rule the world. They come first before anything these days. Hmm, my husband comes first. He's there for life, kids for a season before they leave you to become their own family. Posted with my Droid EO...

    truck stop inspections

    Every year since I started driving I have been pulled in the scales for inspections. Even at 3am when it was 35 outside I received an inspection on the side of the road. I keep a clean truck, my paperwork very organized and have no problems passing inspections, hut have to admit I feel targeted...
