Expedite Expo 2008 Attendance. I have talked to a few people that did not attend the Expo and the consensus of their reasons is that they seem to feel The Expo is designed for the person looking for a new company, shopping for a new truck, or for people interested in learning about...

I toured many of the truck sleepers at the Expo and also talked to many dealers. We talked to the Bentz cousins and learned an interesting fact. Women Rule!! Bob and I where talking to Don and Keith and Keith made an interesting point. Women are starting to drive the sleeper industry. We can...

We wanted to get back with you on our FedEx 4-Star Event in Las Vegas. This vacation is perfect for people that just don't know when to say we need time off! We took the bull by the horns and made this event a vacation to remember. FedEx had many great events for us to do including seeing the...

We are from the midwest and had several preconceived notions of New York city, the vicinity and of the inhabitants. We have had two rather odd experiences recently. We where on the I278 in New York City and realized we had missed our turn so where getting off to do a U-Turn and get back on...

There has been many discussions we have listened to among drivers. If you own your truck and your truck is your only form of transportation and you use the truck for personal use such as going to the grocery store, Wal-Mart,Home Depot or various other personal uses do you have to log?

I have acquired a new job along with our super singles! Bob likes the looks of the Michelin out lined or possibly filled in with purple or blue. Has any one done this and have any hints. I did get the white in the paint roller pens and that seems to work pretty well but do not know how to...

I believe there is a conspiracy to wake up sleeping drivers by trashman. If we are with in a mile of a trash can I am always amazed at the amount of noise the drivers can make shaking those things. I have watched them do this in the day light and I don't believe they have the zeal that they do...

On June 4th we added super singles to the truck. We put on Michelin X1 XDAHT+ 445 50 R22.5 drive lug tread. They come with aluminum wheels and we believe we lost about 250 pounds. We would like to run about 10,000 miles before we can post what has happened with our fuel mileage. The truck...

If your husband gets bored send him outside to clean! We had a "Weekend Load" one where our box was sealed so Bob could not get to his ladder so he did this to entertain himself. I sure was able to get a lot cleaned in side the truck.

Well I had a really nasty accident this morning in Oak Grove WI!! Started out as a nice cool sunny day, left Bob sleeping, took in all my laundry and promptly threw my jacket in the washer with my dark cloths. The jacket was not meant to go into the washer as it had my cell phone and our...

No matter how big your sleeper and side boxes are you never have enough room! We have taken out our upper bunk in our M2 and have just put in new cabinets to match the upper cabinets. I was wondering what everyone else has done to organize and create more space? Another driver told me about...

We have found in the summer that we can not live with out our table top fan. We spent some amount of time in a Wal-Mart studying the fan isle. They make your selection really pretty easy as they have so many fans running you can really check them out. We segragated each fan and tried it and...

Unexpected objects in the road sure get the heart racing! I have had a pallet fall of a truck in front of me and some how straddled the thing and made it safely past the object. The other day while driving in my normal granny lane a car passed with two bikes on a bike rack on the back of the...

Ear Plugs are a life saver when trying to sleep while your better half is driving and listening to the comedy channel. Imagine you are sleeping away and you cannot hear the XM Radio but all of the sudden you hear great shouts of laughter. I have thought of strangling him but then would have to...

While attending MATS we where invited to a reception for a brand new organization! Women In Trucking or WIT. I have been in contact with several of the board members to make sure they recognize all of us women that are in straight trucks or vans. Several of us joined by going to one of the...

We had a great find at MATS. I don't know about most of you but I absolutely HATE getting into the back of our box if we are not at a dock. I step onto the lower bracket of our DOT bumper and then crawl the rest of the way. First I am sure that is not a pretty site from behind and second I...

We have heard if a few accidents lately and started discussing keeping our important papers safe. We are going to purchase a fire proof lock box to put our passports in and a few other important papers we have in the truck. In case of an accident and all of possessions end up in the mud or god...

Terrible start to a really nice day. We where sitting at the Flying J in Laredo Tx very near the building. A big truck backed in next to us in the evening with an older, heavy set, white haired and what I thought was a gentleman parked next to us. In the morning I was drinking my coffee and...

March 22-24 Kentucky Exposition Center. Have you made your plans to be there? We are hoping to get to MATS on the 21st and park in the RV section that does not have hookups. It does cost to park in this area but we have easy access to take Molly for walks during the day. We are hoping for...
