    FYI!!!

    I posted before that we sold our truck really fast last fall. Posted the thing and had many hits, if I remember right it was something like 400 and some hits in 3 weeks. The gentleman that bought it had responded the day after we posted it and I removed it 3 weeks later after he took delivery. I...

    Self Protection

    Rob, while this all may sound a bit out there to you, it is something everyone should think about. I'm glad you made the point that all our canadian neighbors are NOT angels as the ONLY time we've ever had a problem was in canada. We made the "mistake" of parking in a service center and the...

    May make urine bottle litter illegal

    Silverdollar, While I agree wholeheartedly with you and all the other posts in this about some of the disgusting habits that some of "us" have, I disagree with your criticism of Highway star. Many of us would feel that you don't have to be confrontational to be a "star". In this day and age...

    canada borders

    Sandra, This is probably coming a little late as you sound like you were on your way to Canada when you posted but just for future info. We have our 4 shih tzu on the truck with us and we carry all their health records much like we would our own. After many trips into and out of Canada, we've...

    Texas Expediting

    Old Codger, I guess you've named yourself right, don't be so "touchy touchy", Tony was only giving it to you straight. If you want things sugar-coated, you've come to the wrong place. Of all the things I've lost in my life, I think I miss my mind the most!!

    Express-1 versus Panther II

    Quote from Tony: "Make sure you seal the deal with an addendum to the contract or see if the contract has been updated. The addendum must read that you will also receive 100% of all fuel surcharges paid directly to you. You may want to ask how this will be paid. I would see about getting this...

    Question for everyone

    Thanks Weave for the "legal weapon" suggestion, something I've thought a lot about but couldn't come up with much. How does one drive as long as you and not have a knock at the door? We've had the "ladies" approach in broad daylight with myself in the jumpseat asking Jim if he wanted some...

    Question for everyone

    We're partial to the Flying J's also, mostly for the wifi and the showers are pretty good. They do however, give us "funny" looks when we pull in out front to quickly empty our porti-pot, no one has ever said anything but we have had management people come out and just stand there and watch...

    Question for everyone

    NO WAY is this common for truck drivers, I just can't, WON'T accept that!! Rush? You say rush? I doubt there's enough tissue on board ANY truck to "fix" the problem I'd have, had that been me!! Of all the things I've lost in my life, I think I miss my mind the most!!

    Question for everyone

    Welcome back Penguin (aka the woman who drove to Texas from British Columbia)!! Lawrence is right in that most of the "big name" truck stops are focusing on the "travel center" image. I think if you stay with the more commonly known names you'll be fine. With the travel trailer you can park in...

    is this a good deal

    Eric, I'm afraid I disagree with lea. We have no way of knowing how many miles per gal. this truck gets so on a guess of 9 to 10, it's going to cost you (ballpark) .15 to .17 per mile to drive the truck. Depending on where you buy the fuel, some states being cheaper than others. Tolls are NOT...

    AND YET ANOTHER DUMB A**

    Local news tonight is reporting that a truck driver went into a weight station on I-76, just down the road from us and refused to show them his paperwork or reveal what he was hauling. He took off and they chased him up I-71 and caught up with him on rt18 in Medina when they shot his tires out...
