Okay, this is NOT on the diet but it is a wonderful, quick meal for the truck. WalMart has a new frozen beef stew (Bob Evans) that is just like your Mom used to make - truly!!! It is wonderful and has a rich dark gravy that is the best. Just heat in the Microwave, warm up a biscuit and call...

Hey Dan, go over to the AmeriStar Casino in Omaha near the truck stops. There is lots of truck parking and they have an awesome buffet! It is a really nice, clean casino and the food is so good! Park your truck and they will even pick you up so you don't have to walk through the parking lot -...

I really like the idea of documenting the seal situation at the end of the run. It is simple enough to write on the BOL if we were asked by the receiver to break the seal. That is THE answer! I'm doing that from now on and I also like the documentation on QualComm. It's the old "if it isn't...

I wonder if we could have a discussion about seals on our trucks. I have a problem with the way seals are done. We have had a number of loads sealed but here is the thing: the shipper at the dock either places the seal on the truck or he hands it to us to put on the truck. Then we get to the...

Oooooooo Linda, this is going to look so great! Like shoes to match an outfit, don't you think? Very sharp!! Can't wait to see pictures. India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit "You see weird things driving... I've never understood log trucks, sometimes you'll be out on the highway...

Greg and Phil, Thanks for the information on this floor restore stuff. I have contacted the company and we are going to try it while we are on vacation next month. This looks like THE answer and I'll report back after we get our floor done. Thanks so much!!!! india India Hamner FEDEX...

Here is a quote from their FAQ's: Can I use two different transponders in my truck? Yes, you can, and many trucks are operating today with more than one transponder. Usually, this works fine. But, you may not need more than one transponder. All weigh station bypass systems (NORPASS, Prepass...

Our PrePass is working great but we have noticed going through North Carolina that they only use NorPass so our PrePass doesn't work. I think there are other states using NorPass and I'm wondering if we need to get this also. I think it is a one time fee and no monthly charges. If we keep...

We are thinking about cleaning the wood floor in the box of our truck (not in the sleeper since the sleeper has carpet) and putting some Polyurethane for Floors on it to protect the wood. Any ideas on this? Is it a safe thing to do? I realize it will get scratched eventually and we'll have to...

Hmmm. KG Wonder if that could stand for something GORE? You know, the person who wants us all to sacrifice for the "common good" even though he wouldn't think of making such a sacrifice. Nope, not doing that!!! ih India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit He who hesitates is not only...

I have been hearing ads for a weather alert alarm for truckers so if we are sleeping in an area hit by a weather system it will wake us up with an alarm. I haven't looked at these weather radio things but does anyone use them and do they work? So if you are in an area hit by a tornado (for...

Congratulations! Lots of hard work and driving in the middle of the night through construction areas made you one of the best on the road! Go Team Caffee!! India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.

What a great idea with the wood chips. Can't wait to try it! Thanks for the idea. ih India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.

We were finally able to put together our new little propane grill and make use of it this weekend. It is GREAT! We love it. We picked up some steaks at WalMart and fixed them on the new grill. They cooked quickly on the grill and clean up was so simple. The legs on our little grill fold up...

It has been a few months but I just want to thank Broompilot again for one of the greatest tips ever! He mentioned about getting a small voice recorder and using Velcro to fasten it near the steering wheel. Every time we make a stop or go over a state line we record our mileage and other...

Royal Flush, lighten up! Good Grief! We have a GPS and a great software program and two laptops. We had no trouble finding the address in spite of the directions. I was only joking! Jeeese!! Did you leave your sense of humor at home or what??? India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit...

On a recent load to CT here were the directions for delivery: "...turn right onto CT220 and search for address." Gotta love those directions. Ha! Also, when we asked a local for a little more info he said, "Oh, yeah, it's over yonder. That way." Sooooo, my question is: Does anyone happen to...

I mentioned in an earlier post that my brother-in-law is a retired fireman and we were going to have him give us some lessons in fire safety for our truck. These may seem very basic to some of you but in case you haven't thought about it, maybe there are some helpful tips here. Here are the...

Yes, we always leave $1 each in the showers. It has to be one of the worst jobs in the world. We have had a number of the employees actually come out and thank us for the tip. India Hamner FEDEX [b]Custom Critical D Unit He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.

This may seem silly to some of you but when little kids on the side of the highway pump their arm up and down for us to honk at them, all we have is a little honk/honk and it is such a let down for them. Bummer! Our horn is pretty much worthless and if we needed it to really get someone's...
