RE: Gadgets & Accessories - Outside of truck In our "wheel estate" we still stay in the truck lanes as we are usually going so slow! We still really like our SS tires, the way the truck rides, and the slight increase in fuel mileage. We have looked at the automatic tire chains before we...

These are some of the items we have on the outside of our truck. I have included some approximate costs of what we paid and I am sure many of you have may have gotten a better price on these items. I was just talking to another driver about the heated windshield wipers which we have tried...

We have the HIGH deductible insurance from State Farm coupled with a HSA. When we went this way our first goal was to get enough money into the HSA to cover the deductibles and then let the mutual funds help it to grow. Another way we have handled this is instead of taking money out of the HSA...

We have taken vitamins for several years. We take a multi vitamin, fish oil, calcium, ginger root, and a aspirin daily. This must work and knock on wood we just do not get sick! Even when around sick people we are ok. We also got hoodwinked but the vitamins in the truck stop and the cost...

FedEx Custom Critical and Panther are among the carriers that have decided to embrace the technology available in electronic logging and begin testing the applicability of products that will legally allow drivers to dispense with paper logs. When and if the Federal Government mandates the...

We have barn doors and like the fact the doors are the same size as the box. We have the Air Tabs and you are right there is very little build up of snow on the doors. We have an elevator lift gate so the gate is tucked completely under the truck and as such we cannot get snow build up behind...

RE: Garmin Nuvi 350 You guys will love having a GPS! We are amazed at how much we depend on "Lori" to help us out of the situations we get ourselves into.

I want to stand back and watch you tell him to get his or her lazy but out there and look in the truck! That would make my day. That is an intersting problem though did you talk to Panther logs about this and how to handle the situation? We also are able to receive a fax to our email and it...

You can get all kinds of great load securement items at Utility Trailer sales. Bob loves to go to our local place and wander the ilses. He has picked up some pretty cool stuff!

What do you have to make your life easier and more profitable going down the road? Since we bought this truck we have added many gadgets! I have added the costs of some of the items we have bought to only be used as a reference as I am sure someone has purchased these items cheaper or have...

Packman Exactly as most of us are parents our first concern is the baby.

I believe Alumibunk is doing this. I don't see much room for the awnings in truck stops, not can I imagine to many stores and their parking lots being thrilled over this situation. Now if you are the type to park in RV lots this would really be great and if you are pre assigned it would even...

As a mother and not as a MOD I am going to give an opinion. When you post on the forums you are going to get an opinion on any topic. I hope she will rethink what she is going to do in the future and as you say get a job where she can be home as much as possible with her baby girl. Maybe some...

Scrooge! Disney's animated version and there is an old black and white one I love. To Bob's dismay I have many Christmas movies from the cartoon ones to the feel good ones and I love them all. I do only play them in December though. He is also very pleased that I have an IPOD and I play my...

Our background is with forced dispatch and we were less then a number. The first time we had a telephone load offer from FedEx Custom Critical we thought it was a wrong number because of how we where treated. Who the heck every heard of a THANK YOU for taking a load? Yes there are some that...

All of the above and I am being conservative in my writings! I am not for more laws but children that live full time in a truck to me is a very sad situation and shouldn't be allowed. How can a small child grow and mature correctly in a 8' box if that big? If you are going to go back in the...

Good Luck to you guys focuzzn! If your wife has any questions post them as I am sure there are many other future expediters with the same questions! If you don't want to put the question our here have her PM one of us.

We feel as if John Turner is worth every cent we pay him due to the fact he stays current on the tax laws that affect the trucking world. An accountant that does businesses and does not specialize will not know of all the loopholes a specialist like John does know. Money well spent.
