    Snow

    Plan on every trip taking about 50% longer when the weather is bad. You won't be zooming along, and definitely don't want to feel like you need to hurry. Take it slow, and you'll get to the destination. And to next spring, too! ;)

    how do you get a pic to show up when you post?

    When you click 'post', you get an empty box. Just under it, is a line that says 'click here to choose your file'. Click that, and it opens another box, containing your own photos. Right click the one you want, click 'select'. Choose whether the file is jpeg, gif, or what, and then click 'attach...

    GPS Systems

    Greg, I felt as you did: I know how to read a map, and I've got Streets & Trips on the laptop for routing, and even the GPS puck, for those times when I need to be directed in a place that doesn't appear on the map - why would I want another navigational aid? Then I spent a month teaming with...

    My ad for driver available

    Arkjar: IMO, the amount of time you spend worrying about what other people think should be exactly as much time as those people spend helping you.

    The all in one solution for gps, etc.

    Umm - what glovebox? I don't think the FL Century has one....but then, it might - I have to admit that I just saw an armrest on the door side of the driver's seat that I hadn't noticed before, lol. :+ PS: Magic, you know we only blasted you for playing on the 'puter while you were driving, not...

    Finding loads on my own...

    You know, Ark, if enough folks take you up on that, & 'holler at you', you might have found something you can develop into a lucrative business for yourself, over time, eh?

    Don't Leave the Dock!

    Great advice, India, and I hope the insurance will cover your lost income, as well - no reason you should pay for someone else's carelessness.

    stolen license plate...again!

    I've lost 2 fuel tank caps in 3 weeks. The first one, I assumed I hadn't tightened down properly, as it went missing just after I'd got fuel, but the second one - I KNOW I put it on right, and it disappeared while I was inside, getting a receipt. The 2 new ones won't be so easy to snag in a...

    Newbie w/ question about life on the road?

    The reason you can't find any info on pay here, is simple: those who do well, aren't going to give up their secrets, and those who aren't doing well, hate to say so...JUST KIDDING!:P Seriously, the reason is that there are just too many variables, like whether you own the truck, or drive for...

    JUNG EXPRESS LOAD ISSUE

    I mentioned this issue to Brenda Ryan, and her response was so simple, it amazed me (that none of us thought of it, sigh). Having lost the signed BOL, she called the consignee, and asked them to fax it to the carrier, and they did so, immediately. What she didn't say, but I am guessing, is...

    Always something new to learn

    I assume that 'losing it' refers not to tossing your cookies, but to the can of whatever falling out of place, as you're rolling along? If so, how about some duct tape to keep it on, and oven mitts while taking it off? ;)

    Good times!

    I wouldn't know a mule deer if one walked up & introduced himself, lol - what I saw all over were pronghorn antelope, and they looked much too skinny (and beautiful) to shoot...

    Always something new to learn

    Mostly, I think I'm funnier, but Greg's smarter..:P India, I'm sure you'd have realized pretty quickly that what warms your feet, can warm your buns, too, no? And if it'll warm your buns, then the burgers aren't far behind...(OK, BAD pun!)

    Good times!

    Last week, I got to run through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho: some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole country, up there! Coeur d'Alene, Flathead Lake, the Columbia River- and the best part: it's not obstructed by development, and you can see breathtaking views, mile after mile. (I...

    some people should never reach jail

    The way I read Moot's comment, he meant the lawyers will either have to go on welfare, or start robbing people WITOUT benefit of the legal system on their side.;)

    Pad Wrap

    I thought "Pad wrap" was a new snack thing at Mickey Dee's, with Thai food!:+

    Always something new to learn

    Nope. I know this because there are always those kernels that escape, when throwing the leftovers away, and none have popped yet - I'm sure I'd have noticed, if they had. I really do clean, occasionally, in spite of saying that I learned to drive trucks because I hate housework!:+

    Newbie w/ question about life on the road?

    Driverdog: are you absolutely sure that a gym is a necessity? Because you can adlib a lot of workouts on your own, improvising with stretchy cords for resistance, heavy objects for weights, jumping rope in the box, etc. OTR carriers probably won't afford you much free time, (I think the...

    I thought it was loaded right

    That's what happens when you let the forklift driver decide where to load the freight! :P
