We are back on the road after a quick time off at home. Picked up a load in Mississippi going to California. CLICK HERE to see more...

After being on the road for several months we are glad to finally be home. We decided this year to stay out longer so we could stay home longer which worked out well. The problem with staying out for months at a time is the mail stacks up unmercifully and it took a long time to go through the...

Christmas is only a few days away. Be extra vigilant if you’re out on the road next few weeks. Motorists have so many things on their mind this time of year. From driving all over town looking for the perfect gift, to visiting family and friends, sometimes driving (even while they are doing it)...

There are always negatives why waste brain storage on them? The other day I had another fun reminder of why I enjoy this industry too much. While in Arkansas on back roads the truck scale on my side was open. We were deadheading and I thought darn I really would like to have an inspection but...

Truckers spend a lot of time away from family and friends throughout the year. We might miss out on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc., but many of us plan to be home for the Christmas holiday and take some much needed, extended time off. Being prepared to take...

We are often asked how long can you drive in a day? When we say eleven hours there is still confusion. Eleven hours is eleven hours behind the wheel. To complicate it further is to say we can drive eleven hours in fourteen hours. If I was to compare apples to apples with the general motoring...

If you drive a truck for any length of time, you will most likely get inspected by a DOT officer. For some of us, inspections seem to happen more often. As you pull into the weigh station and get the dreaded arrow pointing to the scale, you already know the possibility of getting inspected has...

While at the Women in Trucking Accelerate Conference a group of us were talking. A lady who was new to the industry and selling a product that helps with fuel mileage was asking questions about what all we have on our dash. She had attended a workshop and one lady had brought up distractions...

Truck drivers and traditions go hand in hand. Whether it is just because that is how we have always done something or our unwillingness to change, drivers tend to follow old practices. Myth #1. Tire thumping. Really?!? Tire thumping. Can you hear the difference between 95 PSI and 105 PSI or...

On the way to our delivery in California the weather got bad in Wyoming and they ended up shutting the interstate down. We thought the delay was going to make us late for our delivery but we ended up still making it on time. ... CLICK HERE to see more...

Since our load in California was delayed we got a rental car and took a road trip out to Yosemite National Park. The little bit we got to see was amazing & we can't wait to go back & spend more time exploring. CLICK HERE to see more...
