Re: The .................. One of the moderators need to delete this post - in my opinion. The idea here is not to bash our companies and those of us who drive for the companies but instead to share ideas and experiences. This company being bashed is a company that advertises on this site...

Wow! That does look like a handy thing to have in the truck. The main difference I see in this and the rice cooker is that this has a temp control so you can decide on the temp you want to use. With the rice cooker you can only control it with high/low. And Arlene, you can use this rather...

Re: "Favor" Loads . . . Relax Mypie and take a deep breath. It's okay, really. Just look at those loads we all do once in a while as "okay, this is better than a relocation and it might put me in a great position for the next load."

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.

Greg, I just bought my Kindle and I love it. I am amazed at the free books and I had no idea the books would immediately appear the minute I ordered one from Amazon. The selection is great! I don't know a lot about all the details of these things but with the new Kindle I can adjust the size...

I agree with Steve. You really do need to set aside some time and sit with a dispatcher so you can see for yourself how our system works. Although I didn't understand a lot of what you said, I think I got the drift of it. Why not contact your CC and set up a time to go by the office and sit...

Yahoo!! Thank you EO Staff!!! Now we can stop getting those funny looks in truck stops when we give our EO hand signals! I wondered why people didn't respond as we expected. Ha!

We were not aware that Pat was gone either. Usually when someone in her position leaves, especially someone that everyone knows via orientation and someone who has been with the company for so long, that they could do a "farewell to Pat" sort of thing in the newsletter. Unless it was under bad...

Doug, I'm glad you posted this. Even though Frank & I are together all the time, at special family gathering times, I get a little down in the dumps. Always for Easter I color Easter eggs with the grandchildren and we have a big ham dinner on Easter Sunday. But Linder's post was such a...

What a great site! You just put in your zip code and it gives the address AND phone number of the laundromat. That is so cool! Thanks for sharing this info Linder!!

On our way to the TA in Santa Nella, CA after our late afternoon delivery.

I recommend you do some reading on this site and then make a decision. Look at the FedEx forum and you can probably determine if this is the time to come back. A solo driver has it VERY hard right now. It's tough and you will see, as you read, that the company is making all kinds of cuts to...

We are so baffled by all this. We called NAPA and gave them the part number to see what a replacement would cost so we would know for next time and so we could decide about calling the TA that did the work to see if we were taken advantage of. By the way, it is the TA in Las Vegas. The NAPA...

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...

Actually we do have PrePass and since our truck is registered in FL we do not have to put a tag on the front of the truck but we did that anyway thinking that would make the scale masters happy. We are going to put the VIN on the front under the DOT number on both sides just to speed things...

We just had a scale master in Colorado pull us in because our VIN number is not displayed on the outside of our truck. It is the first time we have had anyone even mention that to us. The scale master says we need to display the last six digits of the number on the outside of the truck...

Our compliments to the technical team at EO for changing the titles of our posts to a large bold font. Very nice!! Great job!! We appreciate this team of hardworking folks who keep the site running smoothly!

I left my shower bag at home the last time we were there and it was a good reminder of the things I love in my shower bag since I had to buy more! Coco suggested something that has helped me a lot. She suggested getting a little suction cup container usually in the linen section of the...
