We learned today that the world lost another fine young man. If you ever go to the trucking site Layover, then you will know the name "Fozzy". He and Ang lost their son to a roadside bomb in Iraq. We had the pleasure of meeting this young man a few years ago at the Dallas Truckshow and he...

Now that we have a puppy in the truck, I had to find a good vacuum for that time between truck wash vacuuming, or home time cleaning. We found this Black and Decker Model # HV9010P at Walmart, and it works very well. The only issue we've had with it is finding the filters for it locally...

Tried to send you a PM and your inbox is full :eek:

We just had an experience that might be of interest to those on electronic logs. Weigh Station US-97 near Bend, OR We were pulled in for a paperwork check and the officer wanted to see our logs. No big deal, we're on electronic logs, but the officer refused to come out to the truck to look at...

Tonight I'm driving I-88 in NY and it's foggy as heck! I'm slowed down to about 40mph with 4 ways on because it's soupy enough that a about a 1 1/2 truck lengths is all I can comfortably see. All of a sudden I see headlights pop out of the fog behind me, and it turns out to be 5 super truckers...

Does GPS routing software have low clearance information? Right now we don't have GPS, we just use Microsoft Streets and Trips and check the motor carrier atlas for clearances. I was just wondering if it was worth getting a GPS unit. We are in a 13'6" straight truck.

Just saw a sign on an off ramp in Boston that was a yellow diamond caution type sign that said "Thickly Settled" What the heck does that mean? More people than they know what to do with? :P
