    Buyer Beware

    Great post Redbird!!! I see so many adds for trucks conveying a message that can't be so, i.e. leased to, QualCom installed even panic button included. I would also check with the carrier in regard to the size of the truck, C unit or D unit? Sometimes the weight can be a thin line. Sellers...

    The Extended Warranty-Don't leave the dealership w

    Everything happens for a reason. On July 16th a truck backed into ours in Winchester VA ripping the door and mirror off. We took the truck to Freightliner of Knoxville for repairs. While we were there we decided we were going to buy an extended warranty for our truck. After getting little...

    Better Days Ahead ??

    Does the bill address the passenger lines only? That is air carriers that carry passengers and cargo on the same flight? If so, that would definately be a thick black bottom line for us. However, I can't inagine FedEx, UPS or DHL surviving.

    Ohio Rest Area showers

    Has anyone use the showers at a Rest Area in Ohio? I understand the service is free but you need to supply your own towels. Just wondering what to expect.

    In the Box

    These are the kinds of attitudes I like to see from people in our business. I like to think we as a group are a step above. Too many times we have ran into drivers that look like they should be on a garbage route. There is no excuse for uncleanliness.

    Does Anyone Use a Toaster Oven??

    I have to agree with Linda. I recently talked to Jake at Bentz about a convection microwave. He strongly suggested we not put one in unless we upgraded our inverter. Much of the time when I use a portable appliance, I place it outside on the steps or on the ground and use the block heater...

    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...

    Another find at Camping World

    I picked up a three tier can dispenser at Camping World. Unlike the ones at see at the discount stores this one is made to fits the smaller cabinets of campers. It is 14"w x 10"h by 10"d. It's like having three times the space. I use the top shelf to hold foil, plactic bags etc and the other...

    They walk among us!!

    They Walk Among Us ! Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided...

    I've been waiting for someone to ask! I wait sometime up to 11 minutes for EO to load. I have found though that if you receive an email for a private message notification and click on it, it will open to the forum with a fair amount of speed. Save that email notification and use it to log on.

    Crossing Boundaries

    How true! We met a couple at Bentz in Ft Wayne while getting some work done on our sleeper. We have maintained a good relationship with them and at times have been able to answer questions for one another on several expediting and truck issues. I remember the first MATS we attended as...
