    How do you change text color?

    I'm using an iPhone 4 and can't figure out how to change font color, use bold text or use italic. I can't even find the smiley faces! How can I do these things from my iPhone? Or do I need to be on my laptop for these features?

    EO logo

    Has anyone ever considered possibly putting small EO letters on the lower drivers side windshield so others would know when we are sitting with other members? Something simple like little 1" tall EO letter stickers. Any ideas?

    Ice less coolers

    Has anyone tried those ice less coolers that they sell at truck stops? They cost between $40 - $99 and only claim to keep the temperature about 20-35 degrees cooler then the ambient temperature around them. Do they work or are they kind of useless? With the truck sitting in 100 degree temps for...

    Red Roof Inn

    I noticed that a lot of you stay at Red Roof Inns. Is there a truckers discount or a savings code that you could pass along? I have the Teana corporate discount code and the National Logistics Management discount code that's good for 20% off at RRI. Is there something better available?
