Phil, thanks for adding the picture. It is perfect for folks to see how it really works. One other thing I would add, though, they need to be attached to a warm windshield so you'll need to either wait for summer or attach them while you are in Phoenix. :p

I guess what really shocked me was the officer's statement about it being a "criminal offense in the state of Az." Scary stuff!!

We pulled out of the new Pilot in Phoenix this morning. You can only turn right out of the Pilot and I-10 is a left turn. As we made the right turn we saw that the police had set up a rolling scale in the right lane. All trucks were having to go through the scale. I was sitting in the...

Oh boy! That explains why parts are so hard to find. Wow! I guess there are other filters that will fit the Rig Master. Parts will certainly be an issue though. Thanks for the heads up on this!

Jeanie, Great idea! How do you go about swapping books with other drivers? Do you just walk up and ask if they have any books they want to swap or do you go up to a driver and offer a book, or what? I read all the time and I have started throwing away my paperbacks because I can't carry...

This is just my opinion but I think it is time for FedEx to jump in and help us out on this issue at this shipper. If FedEx expects our trucks to look good and to be kept clean and "up to expectations" then they need to let that shipper know we will not be accepting security tape on our trucks...

Wow, thanks for posting this. We'll need to keep an eye on it for sure!! If it holds in most of the country then going out of our way to get to a TA will not be worth it. Thanks again for the post! Anyone else have an experience with this so far?

Just a thought: If you don't go to the Intranet and check your stats very often, it would be a good idea to do so. It is strange how things can happen with stats when you have no idea and no notification. Twice recently we have found an error in our stats. The system indicated we were late...

Have you tried this yet? I am so amazed at this wrinkle release spray. You just spray it on your clothes and smooth out the wrinkles with your hands. It takes about 10 min to dry and the wrinkles are practically gone! I didn't think it would really work but I decided to invest in one bottle...

That Cheri has some really good ideas, don'tcha think? I'm impressed! Okay if that works in the truck then the pie filling will work also in the truck on those personal pizza crusts. So far I haven't been able to find the already cooked crust. I'm sure I have seen them somewhere but I can...

Linder, I can't figure out a way to make this in the truck. You'd have to make it at home to bake it then cut it in pieces to reheat in the truck. I bought cherry & peach pie filling today to try with the crust. Here is the way I made it using the basic recipe you posted: Breakfast...

I like the idea of the red duct tape to quickly identify our load bars and such. Great idea. What do you think of etching our last name (Hamner) and our phone number? That doesn't seem like too much information and if the dock guy was honest he could call us and tell us we left something...

Years ago my husband used to put an ID on all his tools and equipment. He used his SS# (back when it was safe to do so - an old Navy habit) then he used his last name and phone number for a long time. We realized we have no identifying marks on our truck tools and equipment now and it seems...

Linder posted a recipe a while back that was someone else's recipe for Breakfast Pizza. You need to make it at home but then cut it and freeze it to pull out and eat as you ride. Oh my goodness! This is THE BEST! I followed the recipe but used 4 eggs and 1/2 pound of bacon. I think this...

01/01/07 – 12/16/07: 156 runs 01/01/08 – 12/16/08: 156 runs Hmm! We still can't believe these figures! How come we are more tired this year????

Hey Dave, this MUST go in our EO cookbook!! I have laughed out loud. This is priceless!! Thanks!

I took it since I know Santa is watching and keeping track of those of us that are good or bad, sleeping or awake. :-)

Since we are now using the load opps we have found that a less than 75 (<75) is truly worthless. Sitting in an Express Center with a <75 and knowing the loads are offered to lots of Express Centers, means that the <75 doesn't mean anything. I would like for all dispatchers to be told that...

I just read about this in a ladies magazine and thought it was interesting. The article suggested that we add ICE in our cell phone contacts. The ICE stands for In Case of Emergency and it should have a person to contact in case we are unconscious or can't speak. I gather emergency rescue...

Well, here is our experience with the "new" trip pak service. Now, granted, we were out West where there are not as many truck stops or trip pak containers but still! We stopped at a Flying J near Salt Lake City and we had two trip paks to turn in. I went in the Flying J and the manager was...
