Sometimes my back hurts, and I never thought of it being caused by the way I climb into the truck. Hmmm...I'll have to pay attention next time. I did get a memory foam thingy for our bed, and it helps with my shoulders hurting. They were so tense for awhile, but this seems to help it a lot.

Wish your wife the best, and you too, as it is hard on both people when one is sick. It doesn't seem like some owner's are sensitive to the fact that you give up so much of your life to do this job, and don't even see when you've been out for several months in service. It feels like as soon as...

It doesn't seem like they would be able to fire someone over a bridge not being marked. Seems like if it wasn't marked you wouldn't be held liable for that. I don't really know anything about that stuff, but it sure seems like it.

Eeeww...I don't like the thought of cameras that can see down in the truck. Does kinda seem like it invades your privacy a little. Not that we have much privacy in a truck anyway...lol. Thanks for the warning.

Winter always has the truck full it seems. You have jackets, hoodies, pajama pants....It brings a whole new set of clothing. And it's always thicker, bigger type clothing. I just keep a couple tshirts, but mainly light long sleeve things.

That's nice when you are told things like that ahead of time. I don't enjoy surprises when getting to the delivery. I think it's nice they took you off the load when you asked. I feel that if the terms of the load are changed, the driver should be able to be taken off the load. After all...

You should look at the Sirius FM Direct Connect. It plugs into the back of your stereo, and then you plug it into your sirius. Then you don't ever have to change the station of your radio. You can leave it on one station anywhere you go without interruption. It works so good that it...

Pictures, definately. I spoke with one of my other sisters down in Houston. She said they were told they wouldn't have power for probably 2 weeks. They just got water, and they've been grilling meat as it thaws out. She said no one even has seen the damage since there's no power to watch...

They did say the plants were shut down and probably would not be running for about 9 days. My Dad and brother in law work at the Shell refinery in Deer Park, so I was going to ask them about it, but still can't get in touch with anyone.

No, I'm not headed home. We're at my husband's parents house in Michigan right now taking some time off. No need to go there....my sister is telling me the grocery stores are dealing with food shortages and people panicking and no power...etc. Don't want to be down there right now. Mainly...

Luckily we weren't home when it hit. I haven't heard from anyone in my family except one of my sisters. She basically let us know that everyone has damage to their homes. They live in North Houston where they have the bigger trees, so there's lots of tree damage. My Aunt and cousin had trees...

I used Flying J Tab account for a little while. I didn't like it at all. I opened the account, then had to wait almost a week before they would give me a temporary card so I could get paid...then it expired within 3 weeks and I was told I couldn't get another one and they would mail the...

I know that teams in straight trucks don't run the same amount of miles as big truck drivers do for regular companies that aren't expedite. We just make pretty much the same amount for running half the miles. (we aren't owners, so we don't make more.) Some weeks you make more, some less, but I...

I would actually prefer all those things that don't really require money. They mean so much more.

Those are all such good suggestions. What kind of woman wouldn't be happy if her husband wrote her a love note, or the list that was mentioned. Making something for dinner, just being romantic in general.

I feel very fortunate to be my age and have seen every major city in all 48 states, and a lot of Canada. One thing I can say, is that no matter how many times I see things, they don't get old to me. I always see something new in them. I appreciate this world that God gave us to see. I love...

Lol....I don't even drink coffee. I was referring to the fact that we had just walked in the heat 5 miles, and that water that I got at Starbucks was just about the most exhilirating water I'd had that whole day. Filtered and wonderful, and enough to give me the energy to walk the other 5...

We stopped at a Sinclair in North Dakota...I think it's Jamestown, but I'm not sure. The truck stop is pretty much like a gas station, but the restaraunt is great. It doesn't look like anything special, but its the first time I've had a steak at a restaraunt that was as good as home...

Going to stay out and walk around Denver. Enjoy the weather.

I understand completely what you mean about some of the people moving, not working, living off of the government. I live in Houston, and our crime rate went up, the motels and apartments were flooded with people and a year and a half later, they still didn't have jobs or start over, etc...but...
