    Stephenville Texas

    Where boots, buckles and belts are taken seriously! I saw some belts on these cowboys that probably costs more than my wedding ring! Not to mention the buckles, geez! The Pro Bulls Riders were in town and all hit the Hard 8 BBQ. Great BBQ and lots of entertainment!

    Keeping the sleeper floor clean in wet weather

    I know this has been discussed several times but we found this solution by mistake and I want to share. Puppy training pads make great disposable rugs. After someone had workrd on our truck, they placed the potty pad between the seats on the floor in the truck so they wouldn't get the floor...

    Great workout inside the truck

    I know someone has addresed this before but I can't find the post. The Bally Total Fitness Twist Board (Sears $14.99) is a great workout program. I takes up no space being about the size of a dinner plate. It includes instructions for a workout that utilizes the major muscle groups and...

    LTL cannot replace Custom Critical

    I was watching the Great Cake Off on Food TV. A contestant in New Jersey needed to get her undecorated cake to the competition in Atlanta. She packed it very carefully and shipped it to the location. When it arrived the box was crushed on one corner and had been opened. The box had Fragile...

    What no hurricane?

    On I-59 exit 51 in Mississippi there are about 1000 FEMA trailers sitting in a field. They are lined up at attention as if they are waiting for an assignment. One would think FEMA would clean them up and sell some of them to try to recapture their funds. Just a thought.

    Convoy

    We were sitting in Houston on Saturday waiting to pick up at 4pm. I flip the TV channels around and find the movie Convoy on TMC (boy that makes you fel old). Aside from the fashion statement of the time, the lack of technology, the outdated trucks and poor acting the issues of trucking...

    Watch out for the other guy

    It's always a good idea to watch out for one another especially with winter coming on. As a woman I rarely talk on the CB Radio. The only exception is when I see a driver in distress. Asking a driver if everything's OK is always a good idea. Sometimes just talking for a while will get a...
