This morning we delivered in Piscataway NJ. After delivery we parked at a small shopping center that had a laundrymat, grocery store and a Target, all of which we needed. Prompty after parking a cute little Asian security guard approached us in his SUV proudly marked "Public Saftey" and...

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...

Just saw where Big and Rich will converge upon "our city" in Louisville. They will be the featured entertainment at the free concert at MATS with Cowboy Troy opening. I'm not a big country fan but this is decent entertainment. Also the Truck Beauty contest will be outside the West Wing due to...

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...

I have never been fond of Donald Trump. But, I think he tipped the scales when he referred to Rosie O'Donnells communication skills as that of a truck driver. What do youthink?

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...

A little humor on the job....

Dear Ladies, As all of you know, freight has been slow this year therefore it is somewhat embarrassing to admit Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should...

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.

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 Aside from the fashion statement of the time, the lack of technology, the outdated trucks and poor acting the issues of trucking...

I'm sure like us, many of you have discovered some great friends across the miles of your travels. We met Barb and George (Barbara704) in Dallas in the fall of 2004. Since that time we have become great friends. Our jobs have only allowed us to see one another three times but we talk on the...

When Tod had his knee replacement, the hospital sent him home with a bunch of "senior" tools to make his recouperation easier. He didn't need them because he had me. But, the little grabber for pulling up his socks, etc. is perfect for grabbibg that toll ticket you can't reach with your seat...

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...

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.

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...
