Has anyone joined this group or talked with a representative of theirs? I joined this year organization the year before last and really felt as if I wasted my time and money. I tried different ways to promote the expediting life style and really got no encouragement. I was not sure if it was...

Well the cold days have to be here! We have now run in snow freezing fog and sleet! I really enjoy the fall by getting to see all of the leaves change colors, the blustery days and the cold nights that are perfect for sleeping. I like to make us up a batch of Hot Chocolate to keep in the...

http://www.inrsltd.com/products/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=15 This is the link for an in expensive tool to keep us from having to get out and bang on the windshield wipers in the winter. I posted this once before to negative response but am going to try it again. We have had ours about a...

With winter coming I am once again dreading when we have to park in a lot that is all ice. Last year I bought shoe chains but they didn't work as well as anticipated! I haven't came up with a plan for this year but to hope we stay away from all lots that are solid ice. Last year I managed...

If you are driving this night watch the overpasses. This night can really be a pain for people liking to throw pumpkins off of the bridges. I know Bob doesn't worry about one being dropped on us but I sure do. My hopes are if you are aware that this could happen and are watching I am hoping...

When we go home we like to prepare meals with leftovers in mind for the truck. I have found that if we use the freezer baggies or the vacuum seal bags that if I shape them into a book form I can store many meals. We pack our leftovers into two person servings and then shape the package into...

I have been fighting trying to keep our summer socks white. I don't really have enough whites to justify a washer for just a few pair so I was wondering if any one had any ideas? When I go home I bleach the heck out of them but that is not enough.

We really enjoy meeting other drivers until we run across the negative one. I get very frustrated with this situation and if at all possible I get out of it and leave Bob to his own devices! He has a lot more patience then I do is my excuse. I want to be rude and blunt and say if you don't...

I toured many of the truck sleepers at the Expo and also talked to many dealers. We talked to the Bentz cousins and learned an interesting fact. Women Rule!! Bob and I where talking to Don and Keith and Keith made an interesting point. Women are starting to drive the sleeper industry. We can...

We are from the midwest and had several preconceived notions of New York city, the vicinity and of the inhabitants. We have had two rather odd experiences recently. We where on the I278 in New York City and realized we had missed our turn so where getting off to do a U-Turn and get back on...

I have acquired a new job along with our super singles! Bob likes the looks of the Michelin out lined or possibly filled in with purple or blue. Has any one done this and have any hints. I did get the white in the paint roller pens and that seems to work pretty well but do not know how to...

I believe there is a conspiracy to wake up sleeping drivers by trashman. If we are with in a mile of a trash can I am always amazed at the amount of noise the drivers can make shaking those things. I have watched them do this in the day light and I don't believe they have the zeal that they do...

If your husband gets bored send him outside to clean! We had a "Weekend Load" one where our box was sealed so Bob could not get to his ladder so he did this to entertain himself. I sure was able to get a lot cleaned in side the truck.

Well I had a really nasty accident this morning in Oak Grove WI!! Started out as a nice cool sunny day, left Bob sleeping, took in all my laundry and promptly threw my jacket in the washer with my dark cloths. The jacket was not meant to go into the washer as it had my cell phone and our...

No matter how big your sleeper and side boxes are you never have enough room! We have taken out our upper bunk in our M2 and have just put in new cabinets to match the upper cabinets. I was wondering what everyone else has done to organize and create more space? Another driver told me about...

We have found in the summer that we can not live with out our table top fan. We spent some amount of time in a Wal-Mart studying the fan isle. They make your selection really pretty easy as they have so many fans running you can really check them out. We segragated each fan and tried it and...

Ear Plugs are a life saver when trying to sleep while your better half is driving and listening to the comedy channel. Imagine you are sleeping away and you cannot hear the XM Radio but all of the sudden you hear great shouts of laughter. I have thought of strangling him but then would have to...

While attending MATS we where invited to a reception for a brand new organization! Women In Trucking or WIT. I have been in contact with several of the board members to make sure they recognize all of us women that are in straight trucks or vans. Several of us joined by going to one of the...

We had a great find at MATS. I don't know about most of you but I absolutely HATE getting into the back of our box if we are not at a dock. I step onto the lower bracket of our DOT bumper and then crawl the rest of the way. First I am sure that is not a pretty site from behind and second I...

We have heard if a few accidents lately and started discussing keeping our important papers safe. We are going to purchase a fire proof lock box to put our passports in and a few other important papers we have in the truck. In case of an accident and all of possessions end up in the mud or god...
