    I Need Your Prayers for My Wife

    Wednesday my wife had to go in for an ultrasound. The doctor found something that leads her to believe that it will be "highly unlikely" that we ever have kids. They also found a growth. She has to go Tuesday to get blood work done to find out if it's cancer. The doctor said if it's not cancer...

    MBE 900 Misfiring

    I know this is off topic, but in high school I had an old Chevy pick up and it went to missing. A crazy buddy of mine said pop the hood then he licked his finger and touched the spark plugs some kind of way. They all shocked him except one. So we replaced it. Sorry fr getting off topic.

    How Stupid Can One Be?

    I ask myself this question after watching America's Most Wanted tonight. This guy was locked up in Texas for Child Molestation. He started sending in poems to some kind of newspaper at the University of New Hampshire. The editor said she really liked the poems and they became pen pals. Well...

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    People complain alot of times by being woken up by dispatch calling them or sending them a message on the qc. I haven't had a cell phone yet that didn't have an off button. I also haven't seen a qc that didn't have a volume button on it. Turn the volume all the way down. Then throw a pillow over...

    Lower fuel prices

    I agree with Steve. I don't think a strike will help. Mainly because it's not feasable. I mean there is no way you could get every trucker to agree to a strike and if you could you couldn't them to agree on when to strike and for how long. Plus who is going to be the lead spokesperson of this...

    The Rev. Jeremiah Wright

    Robsdad you didn't know that racism was only a white on black thing? A lot of people have tried to tell me that black people can not be racist, and there is no such thing as a black racist. I guess this proves them wrong. On behalf of Obama I think we all know people personaly or even have...

    Opinions on this truck?

    If I'm not mistaken that truck was owned by a guy out of Paragould,AR and had it leased to Nations Express I think. He was moving to Alaska so had to sale it. It took him for ever to sale it and now it is right back on the market just a little over a year later. If it is the truck I'm thinking...

    Dems are just sad...

    I still say before we sent any of our troops in we should have carpet bombed Iraq,Syria, and Iran. While we were invading Iraq from Kuwait the WMDs were going by truck to Syria and Iran. Alot of people want you to believe they were never there. They were. They were gone before we could get to...

    Flying J

    It was a t-shirt with a picture of a Peterbilt pulling a flatbed and it said something like North American Chain Gang. Of course because flatbedders chain down some of their loads. It looked almost exactly like the truck and trailer I was in at the time. If you ever get off the road you...

    Flying J

    I agree with you Terry. I like that Petro there at Oak Grove myself. They used to have a decent seafood buffet there on Friday nights. I would say good, but it is a truckstop. They had a t-shirt there I always wanted to get and never did. Sure wish I had one now.

    Possible Covenant Sell Out

    Well Covenant does have a T/T Expedite division so it could help some people out. Those customers will need freight moved.

    Possible Covenant Sell Out

    From what I understand they are selling to get out of the business.

    Military challenge

    Marine Corps 2001-2004 Machine Gunner. Stationed with 1st Bat. 7th Marines out of 29 Palms, CA. Spent a couple weeks on the USS Ronad Reagan. I think you can guess what I did as a grunt. After I got hurt I became a 1369. Semper Fi.

    poor babies... no homework for you

    I don't think grade school kids should be hitting the books for 3 or 4 hours every night, but I think an assignment that would take 30 minutes to an hour at home is sufficent. I mean it stands to reason that doing homework at an earlier age helps build study skills for when they get to high...

    the winds of war are a blowing

    T-Hawk, Like I said I felt pretty sure someone would find a different angle on the discussion. You did and I respect it. This weekend my family cooked a meal for my Grandmother's birthday. I was speaking with an Uncle of mine who works in the shipping department at a plant. He told me trucker's...

    Possible Covenant Sell Out

    Covenant bought Southern quite a few years ago. Right about the same time they bought Harold Ives out. Maybe a little bit before. That has been some where between 10-15 years ago. The agreement between Southern and Covenant was the Southern trucks would still say Southern on them, they would...

    the winds of war are a blowing

    Well I think if something would happen and push quite a few people out of business it may make things better for those left standing. Supply and demand type deal. You know not to long ago we heard all these people saying there was a driver shortage. There really wasn't. A strike isn't going to...
