We just purchased fresh cherries at a local Sams Club. Cherries have a rather short buying season so don't miss out on these! They are packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. They are the perfect sweet, juicy snack when you are driving down the road.

My cousin took this picture this weekend in NYC. It makes me proud to be an American!

What has been your experience with Pronto Pay at TA? Since we usually try to fuel at TA (due to our discount) we are finding that the Pronto Pay seems to work about 8 out of 10 times. It saves sooooooo much time! When it works it means we can get in and out of a TA fuel stop in almost half...

It appears we have finally found a link that will give us HazMat routing by entering the p/u and del addresses. I'm not sure it can always find the two addresses but it looks like it might work most of the time. Will some of you try it and see what you find? This MAY be the solution we have...

I tried the peach crisp recipe posted earlier and had no success. Thanks for trying Jenny but the recipe didn't work for me. I bought all the ingredients and made the crisp but the oatmeal got yucky soggy and I ended up throwing the whole thing out. We are near Atlanta so I got wonderful...

Tonight and tomorrow night is the annual Perseid meteor shower. Probably expediters are the most likely to see these since we are usually driving at night. ;)

I think fresh peaches will be coming in soon to the stores and apples are now being picked in VA. So with that in mind, I would love to have a peach crisp or apple crisp recipe that I can fix in the microwave. It is easy to find these recipes for the oven at home but surely there is way to...

You just have to check out this link and share your thoughts: Brown Bailout Note who is sponsoring the link! Interesting don't you think!!

Linda Caffee (affectionately known as Linder) had such a great idea for Green Tea. My husband and I both like Green Tea but we drink a lot of coffee and having another cup of a hot drink wasn't too appealing. Linder suggested that we put a green tea bag in our bottle of water, let it sit for a...

Diesel price in Barstow, CA last night - $2.83 Diesel price in Phoenix, AZ today - $2.58 Ugh!!!

We have found the most amazing lasagna at WalMart. It is ready to heat and eat. It is in the section of the store where they sell beef/pork roast and mashed potatoes and veggies to heat in the microwave. I think this must be new. I don't recall ever seeing it before. It is Milano's Italian...

Fresh cherries are back in the grocery stores! Yahoo! These little fresh cherries are packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins we all need! They are only available (the American version) from June through mid August so take advantage of them while you can. We love to put them in a bowl and...

Hey Chef Dennis! We know you were a chef in a former life and we have heard you mention your meals on the road that are in those sealed packages. So can you help us out here? Give us some ideas of meals you take on the road and how you do them. Do you put an entire meal in a sealed...

It is that time of year again when we start having some summer salads with our sandwiches or meats that we cook on the grill. I just bought all the ingredients to make a pasta salad with some fresh veggies and pork bar-b-que. Anyone do salads in the summer that keep well in the fridge for a...

This recipe is amazing and it is perfect for the truck. You can fix it in your crock pot with no problem. I used my new Kitchen Kettle and it worked great. Slow Cooked Chicken & Veggies 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast - frozen 1 small can seasoned black beans 1 small can seasoned diced...

I'd like for us to have a serious discussion about the safety department CLink messages. First of all, I have no problem with an urgent CLink msg if something is going on in the company - like the phones are not working or something. Here is how this works for us: We are on a run. I'm...

If you haven't yet bought a small fan for your sleeper, now is a good time to do so. We have a roof vent fan in our sleeper and we use it but we also have a small desk fan that makes a huge difference this time of year. It oscillates so even with the a/c on the air continues to move. That...

Anyone get one of those "D" Locks yet? Just curious about whether they are just locking the reefers or if others are getting locked also. We are on a load so we aren't locked yet but we are not in a reefer unit.

Here is the latest on our shocks. We had not replaced the shocks until now and we have over 300,000 miles on the truck. We decided to have a mechanic do it since this is the first time it has been done. My husband will be able to change them next year now that he has observed and talked with...

I just read Bob Caffee's new article on changing shocks. I really am shocked!! We have over 300,000 miles on our truck and we have never NEVER changed the shocks!! No wonder I 35 beats us to death!! How come no one mentions shocks when the tires are replaced or the brakes are adjusted? I...
