    Barber Shops at truck stops???

    I'm at the Glendale, KY Petro. It is a nice TS with a barber shop/salon. I have noticed that the female stylist working there is usually sitting by herself reading. It seems like a TS would be the perfect place; however, they never seem that busy. Perhaps because drivers are extremely strapped...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    I can't help myself. Curiousity has the best of me here. Can you give an example of when you had to use your accelerator to get out of trouble. The only circumstance I can remember was when I was passing another TT on the interstate and he started weaving wildly. My wife said "Hurry up and...

    We have been moving very well from the known "Hot Spot" express centers and even getting good paying loads. On the other hand, we are absolutely dying at other express centers that are traditionally OK. Conclusion: It appears that at this time, it is vital for drivers to use their...

    This is disturbing

    Which is more disturbing? 1) The video itself? 2) The fact that you wanted to post it here for others to see? Hmmm?:D

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    but we do have a choice and we must act soon! Canadian law is now dictating how I operate my business. These speed limiters are the equivelant of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) because they are destroying the way I chose to drive. We must call on our Government to invade Canada once and...
