I have a hard time keeping up with birthdays and the holidays. Time seems to pass to quickly and I forget to send out birthday cards. Then comes Christmas and I spend most of my Thanksgiving wrapping gifts to get them mailed as we will not be home in time for Christmas to mail them at that...

We are getting close to the end of the year and I know I need to copy all of my receipts as some are all ready fading. I am planning on throwing away the original after I have copied and printed them. Does anyone have a good suggestion to keep up with all of these receipts through out the year?

We have met a lot of great people that drive for other companies. We where reminded again this last weekend that what is on your box does not matter. We where lucky enough to have a Panther truck park next to us that did not bad mouth their company, did not bad mouth their owner, and did not...

We have been discussing cheap freight and have decided it is somewhat like a garage sale. One mans cheap freight is another mans treasure!! It is sure hard to actually define cheap freight and what the lowest amount you can accept a load for. If you do not know your cost to run the truck then...

I do not like to fry hamburger or sausage in the truck so I have came up with this solution. While at home I will fry my hamburger and also any sausage we might want for omelet's. I then label a freezer bag and freeze what I have cooked. I have also found if you want to do this with steaks it...

As owners of a D truck the second most important item we have in the truck is our truck stop guide. Our first item is our laminated commercial carriers atlas and then the truck stop guide. You will use both items constantly. Every day you will use the Truck Stop guide to plan on where to...

I have been fighting with the floor boards of the truck trying to keep them clean. Does anyone have a good solution for this? We have been running is a lot of rain and at times it just feels as if you are in a losing battle. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated.

The oldest came out and asked his grandpa, "Can you make a sound like a frog, Grandpappy? Grandpa (being in a kind of ill mood) responds, "No, I don't really want to make the sound of a frog now." So, the second little boy comes out and asks his grandfather, "Will you please make a sound...

We have found that out here on the road we get to meet some really amazing and interesting people. We where lucky enough this past weekend to meet a really nice couple just into their first week of expediting. After talking with them and listening they really impressed us with their attitude...

Found a great way to make omelets that is great for home or on the truck. You can also make several at a time so you can all eat together. You use Ziploc freezer bags and if there are many people have each person write their name on the bag. Then drop two eggs or however many you like into...

I have started noticing a chill in the air which reminds me winter is just around the corner. When winter starts getting close I really start watching the weather and we will refuse loads going into a area a storm is heading. I also when driving at night and weather is unstable watch the...

Just wondering how you handle downtime on the road? Bob's hobby seems to be polishing chrome and working SuDuKo puzzles. I like cross stitch, crochet and read. Of course my main hobby is keeping up with EO. What all kinds of interesting hobbies are out there?

We are in Seattle WA delivered late this morning eastern time in the down town area. I was driving on I5 going north into the city and my lane ended, I put my blinker on and a car in the other lane slowed down and let me in. I thanked them but did not think anything of it. I drove on down the...

We have filled out our first ICM coming out of Canada with our work related items in the cargo box. We must have done it right because we are in the United States now. Taking the time to fill out that form and actually write down everything in the cargo box made us think of all of our personal...

We have really found there is a double edged sword out here. When we are running really hard we get no exercise and when it is slow we walk more but then eat our of boredom. We are experimenting with the Atkins diet and so far had pretty good luck. We still have a hard time getting the...

We had our first Women's workshop at the Expo and I think it was a success!! We had a great panel of Women, Billie Johnson, Amy Richardson, Carolyn Hershberger, Linda Caffee and our great moderator Cheri. We had a great mixture of women some with experience and some just investigating their...

We had 23 people sign up for our day trip to Paramount Kings Island. What a great day at a great park. Most of us did manage to get all of the roller coasters rode and some more then once. We had a great group with lots of fun. Hope we can do something this fun again next year. The trip was...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the mattress pad on the bed? Every time you move it wants to slide. I have had it under another mattress pad, now just under a sheet and nothing has seemed to help much. The thing just seems to have a mind of its own and right now it is sure acting a...

Hope that all of you will get together with us and enjoy Kings Island. At the Expo see Team Caffee or anyone of volunteers for info. Weather is supposed to be great!!

We signed up at the Louisville Truck for our Flying J card. We have been really happy with our new card and not having to pay all the ComData fees. It is really nice at the end of the month to get an interest paid amount instead of all the fee's associated with ComData. We transfer money...
