With winter coming I am once again dreading when we have to park in a lot that is all ice. Last year I bought shoe chains but they didn't work as well as anticipated! I haven't came up with a plan for this year but to hope we stay away from all lots that are solid ice. Last year I managed...

If you are driving this night watch the overpasses. This night can really be a pain for people liking to throw pumpkins off of the bridges. I know Bob doesn't worry about one being dropped on us but I sure do. My hopes are if you are aware that this could happen and are watching I am hoping...

The following is a presentation we gave to fellow drivers about our test of the LDWS. We went into this test with some trepdation over the sounds the system would make and also the fact that we didnt really need it. We where totally shocked out how well the test unfolded. Now when we see a...

From day one we have had a problem with our pusher axle hopping when we reach a certain speed. This usually would happen going down a hill and was very frustrating for the person trying to sleep and the driver always trying to stay below this land mark speed. While talking to another driver...

When we go home we like to prepare meals with leftovers in mind for the truck. I have found that if we use the freezer baggies or the vacuum seal bags that if I shape them into a book form I can store many meals. We pack our leftovers into two person servings and then shape the package into...

I fear a mountain pass even more then I do the icy, snowy road. I would much rather have the chains on going at a slow turtle speed with everyone going slow then to just have an icy snowy pass and no restrictions. What are some of the rules everyone follows when going down steep hills in the...

We are getting ready to install both of these products and wonder who else is out there using them? We are hoping both will improve our bottom line and fuel mileage. Bob has talked to both companies and plans on installing both items himself.

We where talking to another driver a couple of weekends ago and he was under the impression that the laws had changed in Colorado. You now have to display your chains at all times? Where in the heck on a straight box that has side boxes are you going to display your chains? Has anyone else...

I know this has been discussed before but I cannot find the info. We forgot about the rule that you cannot use a pusher or tag axle in Canada and they are illegal to be on the ground. We had ours down as we where 1000 over on the drives when we went into British Columbia. The scale master...

I have been fighting trying to keep our summer socks white. I don't really have enough whites to justify a washer for just a few pair so I was wondering if any one had any ideas? When I go home I bleach the heck out of them but that is not enough.

Everyone has there own tips for sleeping while the truck is going down the road but a lot of new people are struggling with this problem. This was our hardest problem to over come when we started team driving. We have picked up a lot of hints that have worked well for us. Split the...

We have been using the T-Chek system for awhile now. When you get your receipt it will only show the cash price. If you want to know what kind of discount you received at your fuel stop you must know the balance before you get your fuel and then call in as soon as you finish fueling for the...

We really enjoy meeting other drivers until we run across the negative one. I get very frustrated with this situation and if at all possible I get out of it and leave Bob to his own devices! He has a lot more patience then I do is my excuse. I want to be rude and blunt and say if you don't...
