    Excersise at truckstops

    yea my hubby actually played that one quite a bit, but now he's stuck on the buck hunter. and you're correct about walking through the parking lots, some are just downright unsafe...and nasty.

    idea for your laptop in the truck

    Hey everyone. Hope ya'll are doing well. I have been seeing a lot of drivers having a hard time balancing their computers on their steering wheel lately. I have a suggestion, and this is what we do while we're sitting. Go to wal-mart and buy one of those little tables you use for...

    bad apples

    you speak the truth man...yesterday I called JBhunt safety while sitting at the Flyin J in Pearl, MS because both trailer tires on the right-outside were showing the steel belt with chunks missing...I'm surprised the tires were still inflated. I couldn't find the driver and worried that he...

    bad apples

    I might be told off for this, but if I see a driver flying like that I don't hesitate to either call the "how's my driving" ph# if they have one, or call the cops and give them the plate # and company name. Stupidity like that is not acceptable.

    email I received today

    That bites that you are getting that from spammers trying to infiltrate this site...I get them occasionally in my email...NOT from here though! I sometimes get a "wild hair" and email them back that I would love to help them and then lead them on a wild goose chase for a few more emails back...

    Board Position BS

    Yea, sometimes the board position thing is aggravating...I've learned not to sweat it...Also, another word of wisdom that works for us...MAKE PLANS TO DO SOMETHING. then as soon as you get everything set up, ie...Taxi ride, tickets, reservations...then you'll get a load! Works for us every...

    I'm in Heaven!

    If you've got a warped sense of humor, you'll love Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge. Talk about time flying by...I'm sure everyone knows who Stern is and 4 days out of the week he does 5+ hour shows...that's half of my driving time... Anyway enough of my infomercial...lmao:+ But if...

    Back Office Support ???????

    I have picked up Hazmat in Windsor and rerouted to Port Huron and Panther has ALWAYS paid the extra mileage and bumped the delivery time. I dont want to use the ferry and it has never been suggested that I do, by panther or by the owner of my truck. This new ACE program was shaky at 1st, but...

    Getting perscription on the road

    As a few have alluded to...it just depends upon the medication. Almost all pain clinics or Dr.s prescribing "controlled substances" ie...Lortab, vicodin, etc...need to have a written prescription which is the product of an in-office visit, unless it causes a hardship to the patient and the DR...

    CBs

    I was certainly glad i had mine on in Montreal...I had a hard time finding the cons due to everything being in French. I ask over the CB for some local info and a guy on a base station actually guided us in turn by turn for the next 8 miles...he even went so far as to get another buddy of his...

    How do you feel about back to back runs?

    Been there done that...and almost never did anything ever again! If you catch my drift. But remember even if you are in the midst of your first run, check with your dispatch and see what your ETA is and how many miles out you are...a 15 or 20 minute powernap can save your life...AND someone elses!
