We are traveling through the Pennsylvania mountains today and WOW! The colors of leaves are already spectacular, promising a gorgeous Fall! Around every curve is another amazing sight! The scripture says the leaves clap their hands with joy unto the Lord and I believe this is referring to...

It's "Talk like a pirate day!" Argh!

We love our automatic chains (On Spot). We removed them for the summer and have just had them put back on. When we drove our D Unit we used them a number of times. One time stands out in my mind. It was when a sudden snow storm hit the Dallas area. The road crews in that area are not...

I LOVE this thread! Those of you in trucks can't imagine moving down to the small amount of room in a van with two people!! We realized we were not ever using the sliding door of our van so we put magnet hooks over the door and hung shoe racks (over the door mesh type). The shoe racks have...

We stopped to fuel at a truck stop yesterday and had a frightening experience. As I was pulling out, I checked to see if any trucks were pulling away from the fuel island. Two drivers had just fueled and pulled forward. One of the drivers had his door open but he was on the ground! A couple...

Black grapes are back at Sam's Club! If you haven't tried these amazing grapes it will be a great time to try them now. Like cherries, they are only in the stores at certain times of the year. Someone from CA could probably tell us the times of the year you can get these. Last year we...

We just joined so we are not able to get into gyms in "off hours" except our own gym where we joined. It is REALLY nice! It is located off I-64 (ext 136) at Zion Crossroads between Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. The owner said she would certainly welcome other members to use the equipment...

Another thing about this - from a business stand point, you accepted the load, which then took you off the board. That means you could potentially miss other opportunities during that wait. I assume they gave you a <75 but it still tied up your unit during that time. Whether FDCC charges the...

Occasionally we need to print something. The load we are currently on requires us to print a form before we arrive at the pick up. Since we have moved into a van our weight and space is limited so we no longer carry a printer. We have saved the form on a flash drive but do any of you have...

Okay, ready for the truck show in Dallas!

If you are planning to go to the truck show in Dallas be sure you take plenty of "OFF" repellent and a good quality flying insect spray for your sleeper. They are having a major problem with mosquitoes in the Dallas area this summer. They are using planes to spray the area but so far a number...

We are really interested in joining one of these fitness clubs. I searched the internet and there are so many choices and it is confusing. It looks like Anytime Fitness might be a good option since they have so many locations and we are all over the place. I would hate, though, to invest the...

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...

Linder, will the RV park let us park our straight truck in the park? We actually stayed at a Little America Truck Stop one time but the RV Park sure would be nice for a weekend.

On a Jeep: H8PAVMNT

Unbelievable! Inconceivable! Do you think this would be a ticket worth fighting? I agree that the chock you might use would probably be gone the next morning. What a ripoff!! Sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve this treatment!!

Oh my goodness Greg! That is scary!! I was sooooo hoping this would be a good solution for us but we certainly can't take a chance and get off on a bad route. I think three tests routes that you use all the time is about the best test we can do with this. Sigh! Back to the drawing board...

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...
