    Front-Mount Carrier

    I hope you guys are non smokers with those gas fumes that are inevitable from this set up.Plus,I don`t know what the DOT would have to say. I had a setup like this at one time,but gave it up for the issues I just mentioned. I bought the most secure gas can I could find ($80.)but still the fumes...

    Two more names Come to mind. Joe Roman For his early web site. George McDonald (GEO) For his LO/TS guide. Special mention should go to the inventor of the Qualcom.When I started (6 mo before QC) we had to call in every 4 hours.Some fun when your time came while running across Chicago.

    RV Parks/Campgrounds etc.

    Recently my Granddaughter had her wedding reception on top of Lookout Mountain in Ga. I made reservations for RV space at the Cloudland State Park for a space for a motor home less than 40'. They said nothing when I arrived in my 33' C truck. My stay was wonderful. Electric hookup. (I have...

    Truck and Company Tips

    Before you buy that used truck,be sure to narrow down your choice of co to lease on with. All the good co advertise here on EO. Different co have policies on the age of the truck. Some will give you a letter of intent,so you can be sure they will accept the age of truck.

    The Trucker News Paper

    I recently spent some time with my filthy rich brother-in-law in Chicago. (He retired at age 46 with his millions) He said one of the things most discussed at the daily Country Club golf round is how difficult it is to get and keep OTR drivers. The best and most experienced are grabbing those...

    The Trukin Bozo

    I have listened to the Boz since 1988. His show was on WLW Cincinnati and covered 38 states. Over the years he kept us awake and informed/entertained us night people. His health has declined in recent years,causing him to abandon the all night gig to his son Steve Summers. The Boz can now of...

    It's time for a ban

    I am for that 50 ft rule. Too many times I/we nearly gag when entering a building. Employees and others think they have to be as close to the door for their smoke breaks. (there goes another five bucks)

    Louisville Truck Show

    Well once again I missed out on the show. I always think I am going to get a "killer run"while all of you are at the show. (didn't work) Oh well, the hats wouldn't fit over the bag anyway.

    FL price increases

    I bet there will be a lot more re-builds of existing engine's wonder if replacement engines will have to meet the new standards.

    Dead Battery

    Another thing to remember is to pull the fuse any time you put the trunk in the shop for service. Who knows how many times the tech is going to start it up. That little motor in the antenna will go berserk trying to find a satellite while parked inside.Waste a lot of juice.

    Another HOS question
