Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the mattress pad on the bed? Every time you move it wants to slide. I have had it under another mattress pad, now just under a sheet and nothing has seemed to help much. The thing just seems to have a mind of its own and right now it is sure acting a...

We signed up at the Louisville Truck for our Flying J card. We have been really happy with our new card and not having to pay all the ComData fees. It is really nice at the end of the month to get an interest paid amount instead of all the fee's associated with ComData. We transfer money...

Found a great new product for the truck. This griddle folds in the middle, has a temperature control for both sides and also has a grease catcher. The cooking surfaces are removable for washing. The griddle also comes with a griddle to replace one side. Very easy to set up and use, easy to...

I know I am very spoiled but I do not fuel. Bob talked me into trying that process once and it was a dismal failure. I swiped the card, put in all them numbers, put on the gloves, put the nozzle in the drivers side tank, turned and promptly ran into the mirrors and almost knocked my head...

How does everyone handle finding a place to use the restroom at night? We split our driving shifts in the middle of the night and I sure try to wait as long as possible for daylight. Sometimes I stop at rest areas and I usually pull into the car side and try to get close to the rest rooms and...

Does anybody have a good idea about backing into docks? I always want to back crooked. Everything looks great in the mirrors, get out and look at I am crooked every time. Not sure what I am doing wrong. The air tabs seem to help when backing into a space at the truck stop but once the doors...

We are always looking for extra storage room in our truck and came up with this idea. The snack size storage bags are just perfect to hold one load of laundry soap and your colors bleach. On our great weekend outings to the laundry room we just grab as many bags as we need. Sure beats...
