    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    I hope it doesn't hit because there are some people who have worked really hard and spent their own money fixing their homes, and it would be a shame to see that ruined. You can't judge the entire city of people on what most of them do. Do you like being treated poorly by the public because...

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    ATeam...I was not referring to you at all. Hope you didn't take it that way. I just meant that almost all the threads lately seem to be "liberals caused this, hope they don't win...etc..." when it doesn't even have anything to do with the thread. In this case...maybe it does, but there's just...

    Crazy

    From our experience, we live in Houston, and we get really good loads out of there....with one exception. Most of the time those loads are from Wednesday through Friday. Our loads out have always pretty much been the later part of the week. We get loads going to Pennsylvania, sometimes...

    GPS for trucks...

    Usually between the Gps, the map, and the company directions...we always make it...lol. I like having the Gps because when night driving or driving through thick fog, it just helps with anticipating the curves and what direction the road goes. I like it. I do wish that Teletype wasn't...

    Sometimes you just get luckier than others. We all have our time.

    Lining up two by two

    God promised he would never flood the earth again....but he didn't mention how close he could come to it though...lol. I bet some people are itching to see that rainbow.

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    That wouldn't be good. My Aunt and Uncle just got finished rebuilding their home in New Orleans from Katrina. Would be kinda bad to have it get messed up again. It looks crazy down there. When are the political remarks ever going to stop? It's just kind of annoying because I like coming...

    Best Starbucks Ever

    If you like to walk, I have one for you. We're at the Sapp Bros. in Salt Lake City. We decided to go on a walk to downtown because there are sidewalks everywhere. We took a right out of the truckstop, and about a mile down, there is a bridge and on both sides a trail. Why not? We followed...

    I hate the word Diet!

    It is all up to the drivers. The healthy choices are there, and sometimes it is not always convenient, but it's what you choose to do and what you want out of it. The food at fast food places and restaraunts is not good for you. Way too many calories, very high sodium, and even the things you...

I have some Bose headphones so...

    Random thoughts on Life, Liberty, etc.

    1. GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE - Who are these guys anyway? The Electoral College was set up by our forefathers as a convenient way of reversing the popular votes of earlier immigrant settlers who were in lots of cases indentured servants and laborers. They were not to be trusted with...

    A sign of success

    If they are husband and wife, stay out for months at a time, and didn't have a lot of bills, why wouldn't they be successful just because they cut down their load opportunity a bit? That van might be one of their only bills. Some of them have 72 inch sleepers, the same as a regular big truck...

    States push laws to require paid sick days

    I definately think that jobs go overseas because of how lazy american workers are, and how they want everything when they want it, how they want it, without working for it. But, in the case of someone like a school bus driver.....don't they only make like 12 bucks an hour? And you ask why they...

    How much money do you make?

    I agree about the people from the same company though...usually they're just looking for a reason to start bashing. People love to be negative don't they?

    Atbs

    I used PBS bookeeping last year, and was happy with their service. They didn't require I send in any reciepts. They have a form that you fill in the totals for them, and send that to them. That's one thing I liked was not sending in the reciepts. I saved them of course, but it just made less...

    Anyone Know?

    TeamCaffee, you mention Ohio? Do they have a similar law about two axle trucks? I'm glad to hear other people go faster in California...I just want to be able to do about 63 or so without worrying so much. I always follow the speed limits, so I just wanted to feel more sure about it. Signs...

    How much money do you make?

    I agree that it may have "sounded" better for the driver to ask that way....but you have to remember, not everyone has the same social skills. Not everyone in the world talks the same way. Maybe they just don't know how to word things the right way to get their point across. I'm from Texas...

    Anyone Know?

    Does anyone know the speed limit in California for a two axle straight truck? Some signs say "trucks" 55, some signs say "trucks 3 axles or more" and some just say "any vehicles towing." Has anyone ever asked before? I'm too afraid to just go 65 without knowing for sure, so I wondered if...

    How much money do you make?

    I agree...I don't think they are asking to be rude or to have specific numbers of what you personally make...just an idea so they know if it's something they are interested in. Recruiters don't give you an accurate figure, so they figure the drivers will. I always tell them it differs from...

    Bring your best pic

    I love the ones of Garden of the Gods. We used to go camping there when I was a kid all the time. Our family still jokes about the HUGE bowls of ice cream they would have this one day of the week. They were HUGE. Here's a couple pictures. The bike is my brother-in-law's.
