    Presidential Character

    In his Inaugural Address on 20 January, 1961, President John F. Kennedy closed his remarks with these famous words: "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." With those words, JFK, the most exemplary leader of the Democrat...

    Seat Covers

    I talked with a Chevrolet 3500 owner a few years ago and I noticed that he had a snug fitting set of seat covers. I bought a set that had an opening to accommodate the outboard armrest, but they were so loose fitting I had to return them. Does anyone have a snug fitting set of seat covers...

    Sprinter Size.....

    We live out here. Expediting is "hurry up" and "wait". And the wait can be quite long at times. :( Having a nice sleeper with some personal space makes the wait time less stressful. :) Looking at the load boards over a 30 day period, maybe 1 in 100 loads called for 3 skids. What I am...

    I'm going crazy

    Keep reading my friend. Learn all you can from the posts. Go to a truck stop and talk with some expeditors. It is very important to get your information directly from those currently engaged in the business of transporting expedited freight. PS. You mentioned having control over your...

    An Exceptional Chain Restaurant

    For those delivering to North Charleston, SC most will go to the Pilot Truck Stop at Exit 199. Some will drive west of I-26 to the Walmart parking lot. Within walking distance of the Walmart parking lot on US 17 is the best Shoney's I have visited. Normally, I do not review chain restaurants...

    Need your prayers

    Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet...

    Dealing with Fear of Heights

    Wow! A potential 120 foot fall. I could only imagine. I was an Operating Engineer with Brown and Root. My main assignment was heavy lifts. One day my oiler didn't show for work and the jib pulley needed some lubrication. The crane was set in such a position that it couldn't be boomed...

    Really Great Barbeque

    Last week I found myself leisurely driving between Gadsden, AL and Cullman, AL on Route 278. The weather was delightful and the scenery magnificent. Hmmm. How about some lunch? OK. Tap the GPS for food and then barbeque. Up pops Al & Mick’s in Snead, AL. Ah, yes…those little out-of-the-way...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    Whenever I am asked to watch my daughter's Laborador Retreiver I dress up Rocky in a kid's suit complete with hat and sunglasses. When going through the gate I simply tell the guard, "Sorry my partner wasn't able to get a shave this week, we have been very busy." On a lighter note: Suds...

    How to Check Out Your Doctor

    Charles B. Inlander People's Medical Society tudies show that people looking for a new doctor usually ask a friend or family member for a recommendation before using other sources of information. But while a friend or relative's experience with a doctor can be helpful, neither person is...

    Beyond Description

    Powerless, lifeless, emptiness—do you feel any of these adjectives portrays your church, family, or ministry? And even worse, are they descriptive of your personal life? If so, I know one thing for sure, the thrill of the spiritual is gone out of your life. What I mean by this is that you have...

    how much power using a laptop

    As the others indicated, don't draw any amps from your start battery. My QC was installed and I forgot to tell the installer to have them program it to shut down completely after 5 minutes and not be awakened until the ignition was turned on. I dropped off a load in a dead area and stayed...

    running on your own

    Ditto on the comments by Jefferson3000 and CharlesD. It is literally impossible for a solo driver to look for loads while in transit. Morevoer, the markedly increased insurance rates couple with start up costs make it very difficult to break into running under your own authority. I would...

    Esay Loans. Fat City.

    America just got fat. Fat on lending practices. The mindset of most that I have met is typified by a line from The Doors, "We want the world and we want it now!" We are convenience-oriented society. Folks will go into a 7-11 and pay $2.09 for a 2 liter when they could have gone to a grocery...

    Are You A Contractor or an Employee

    No need to be terse. The question was politely put forth. Answer: I am a contractor. Of course, there will always be folks within any dispatch department that can not grasp that concept. Those individuals somehow believe that when a truck has a carrier's logo on it, the Owner/Operator is a...

    The Current Crisis

    Vote. Yes. I believe if more of us would get on our faces before God and pray for this nation...it would help! The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing." Timothy writes in 2 Timothy 2:8 "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands...
