It was eerily calm outside the Kenly NC Petro. Just minutes earlier the Petro had lost all power during a barrage of wind, hail and lightning. The few of us who had wandered out during this moment of calm looked in amazement to the south as a huge black cloud that filled the sky began to...

Pardon me for being a bit overprotective but please plan on using great caution if walking off alone from the truck stop along an advertised route. Take a friend? So far the "walking trails" that I have seen were simply maps of the local neighborhood with a suggested route to walk. Technically...

As a fellow WG, T-Val, Owner/op with FECC it is with great regret that I must point out the above statement as untrue and misleading. As a former member of the North American Van Lines Vanguard Elite High Value Goods team (Remember " We Moved The Treasures of a King") my wife and I were very...

That brings up a good point. In this TA you have to look right at it to make a left into the TV room and the TV room was full of drivers. Also, you have to walk around it to get to the showers. In other words, it was kind of like the elephant in the room that you would have to avoid rather...

While on layover at the TA in Albuquerque, NM for a weekend I was pleased to see the fitness room and took advantage of it several times. For those who have not seen one yet, It is similar to a small fitness room in some Hampton Inns. I was mildly disappointed that there was no equipment for...

This is stating the obvious and it was pointed out to you by Nutrisystem right at the bottom of the Nutrsystem order form where it states: Important Health Information You may not use a Nutrisystem program if you are (a) pregnant, (b) nursing, (c) under 18 years of age, (d) anorexic or...

Sounds like a fun and challenging New Year’s resolution. That is certainly possible; however, truck repair is unfortunately an expense that you do not have full control of. I would make two suggestions for this plan: 1) Make one of the “other” accounts an emergency repair fund that you can...

The above post appears to imply that the Nutrisystem-D diet plan is ineffective and even possibly dangerous? For those of you who have been diagnosed with diabetes and are looking for a diet plan to help manage blood glucose levels and lose body fat I would take the above statements with a...

I have to disagree with Moot on this issue. You will find that you must stay out for long periods of time to make money in this business. Anything you can do to avoid a trip home or to the hospital can make you money. A birthing area is a great idea!:rolleyes:

This is a good, honest, accurate and current review of ES. I concur. Cliff- As Bruno suggested, use the search tool at the top of the page and you will find several in-depth discussions regarding ES.:)

That is just too funny! Everytime we get a run to the Bay area Mrs. Humble makes the suggestion: "Why don't you give Jack a call and find out the best route, best place to stay, place to eat, etc." We thought we were the only ones using this valuable resource.:)

I didn't find much in the community forum. It would be interesting to see everyone's truck or van. Problem is that many members would prefer to not be recognized, thereby, leaving their alternate identity intact to do battle in the soapbox etc. :cool:

New FECC recruiting poster??:D

You may be taking that to the extreme because on rare occassions it has been very helpful (reroutes, lane closures,etc.) but I understand your point of view. On one occassion we happened upon a serious accident and got out to help free an elderly man from his vehicle. His foot was stuck...

Seems like a crappy thing to do.:mad: Hey, I like your organ donor line! I take back all of those things I said behind your back.:D

Darn. We saw the sign last time we got a pm at Speedco and thought that would be convenient. Thanks for the information. We always take the FECC paperwork in to a service facility and verify their credentials and willingness to complete them properly before opening any work orders. This will...

What you refer to as being "foolish" and "dumb" reasoning can also be viewed as intelligent reasoning. It is in line with the advise that many successful people have given to those who are searching for their "best" career path. The advise is often: Find something that you love to do...

If you continue to have a problem with it, why not call Don Bentz during the week? Don Bentz cell: 260 438 5059 email: [email protected]

Clearly, thread mixing is in violation of all rules of common decency amongst forum aficionados. I reference the following: and also You are in violation of thread mixing etiquette and you are being placed on 1 hour suspension. This time should be equal to the time spent by other...

I have several possible scenarios that could explain these cases; however, at some point it just becomes an exercise in futility and frustration chasing theories. In order to reduce the temptation to fill in the blanks with negative thoughts I would suggest the following exercise which has...
