Also, if its hot during the day, you can preload a cash card with $15 or $20 and let the air run until the money's gone. By then its dark and cooling off, and if you're not opening the doors, it'll stay pretty comfy. Same should apply for turning on the heat at night.

along the same topic... does anyone else have a problem with rechargable battery devices not charging properly off of the inverter? Being a bit high maintenance, I found my electric toothbrush will not charge in the truck, also having problems with my bluetooth. Both I have to charge at the...

Whiskey Pete's has closed- as per their sign when I passed by in June. But there's a place across the highway- (I think it might be the same owners/company)

Thanks for the support. As of today, I am home and will be contacting fleet owners. My driving partner is recommitted to sticking with this as well, because we do work so well together- he knows we can make money in a working truck. P.S. don't eat the beans at the TA buffet in Buckhorn, Pa-...

I received word about an hour ago that my fleet owner is liquidating his fleet and leaving the business. He has had a handful of trucks for a few years now, but a blown motor and another lemon truck- plus the freight we've been getting so far this year- was apparently too much for him. I'm...

As a daughter of a lifetime trucker, I have only recently begun to REALLY understand why my dad only came home one or two days a month. As a young child, he always sent postcards and called, but as I became a preteen/teen, I found a lot of resentment for him not being there- if not for me, then...

I'm finally in a truck as of 4/24/07. Teamed with a sweet guy named Ed. We're in FECC unit #DR4395. Apparently the owner bought the truck 'as is' a few months back, so the 'ladies' on the hood, the 'jaybird' on the bug shield, and the bison, etc- all came with the truck.... please don't laugh :)

regarding the checkINN card... We were in San Antonio, Tx Saturday and tried getting a room. The motel 6 that was normally $40/night was quoting a price of $89! It was a big city-wide festival, and almost no rooms were available anywhere...I called the checkINN 800# and they were sooo helpful...

Hi Frank, Monday I am starting with a fleet owner, and I will be getting 20% of gross to the truck. The owner pays for workman's comp, and uniforms, and puts me in a hotel once a week. I will be paying for only my food and entertainment and the occasional toll- though reimbursed at the end of...

along these lines... how hard is it to find an urgent care clinic? what does a visit usually cost? What health insurance coverage do you have? (if any) Upon advice from a previous thread, I checked out www.ehealthinsurance.com and also www.ooida.com I am still unsure of which plan to go...

Sorry, prof, but unless you and all your family members are all felons with bad, bad, credit, those birth certs and ss cards and any other personal info are worth their weight in platinum to almost any thief nowadays. Even the really stupid ones. I think I just saw a stat that says 1 in 4 people...

Are there male truckers out there that can help me with MY laundry, though? I hate doing laundry, I'll buy them dinner:P

Those are neat, but I like my bike. It's paid for!

RE: What's your other ride beautiful...*sigh*...

What's the best way to carry a bike? Does anyone have pictures of their bikes mounted on their trucks? I found an archive that noted d-hooks, but I wonder how else to do it, especially for two bikes... Thanks, the semi-squirrel

Just wondering, is there a way to transfer money from my comdata card to my bank account? I don't know exactly how this works...

I also went to C1, they have training by the hour. It was $55 per hour to train using their truck for a class B. I paid for two hours, they gave me a list to study from for the pre-trip, and I took the test and passed without any other practice. BTW- they had automatics at both sites I attended.

wow, I didn't expect this post to need a warning: hot marines! :+ Okay, back on topic...
