RE: Women in Trucking - am I too old at 55 to take Backing the straight truck was no problem for me, backing that 18 wheeler was another story. I could do it, but I was slower than molasses in January. Practice practice practice and don't get in a hurry.

We've been married for almost 27 years, we've known each other since elementary school and we're buddies. Yes, we have separate interests but those are few in comparison to the things we like to do together. This job has been fantastic for us because we work good together and we enjoy it. The...

How about observations....Me and a fellow Navy wife, our husbands were both volunteer firefighters and they were at the firehouse. 5 kids, 3 dogs and 2 cats huddled in my hallway. The sound of the wind howling. The silence of the radio. The Texaco roof in my front yard before the eye went...

Linda you said: "At the highest level you have to have chains so we just ordered a set for the X-Ones." The X-Ones? I'm lost here :'( I agree, the weight of these things are killer which is why I was hoping we could get away with cables. Although, we're both of the opinion that if we need...

Ok, I've read the regulations, and I'm still confused about the use of cables vs chains. I realize different states have different rules, but it seems that Colorado has the strictest rules. (and the one that confuses the heck out of me) So far we've had chains in other trucks we've been in, but...

Rich, we used to see that type when we lived in Maine. I grew up in FL, you could never have used one of those down there unless you mowed 3 times a day. x(

Too Funny!!

Thanks for the link. I had to send this one on to my guitar playing son.

Terry said: " Get her a new lawn mower" Now that's MY kind of gift!! I'd love a new lawn mower :7

Moot it sure is nice to see a Thank You the carrier they are with.

Happy Birthday Linda!!! Thanks Cheri for letting us know :)

Again, seems every border crossing is different. We've wasted so many Inward Cargo Manifest Forms because they don't want them if you're empty. The only crossing that we've been asked for one is Lake Champlain. We came back empty yesterday (load canceled) and simply presented passports, and...

Just about anything but Bleu Cheese.........YUK LOL

Hey Rich, your lady might just have 21 somethings planned for you too! ;) Our "skydiving gift" was actually a dirty trick...The boys kept trying to convince me that I really needed to do this (Steve had no trouble with the idea)and they knew that if it was a "gift" I'd give it a go. LOL It...

OVM, you mentioned car pool lots, and you're in a van right? Are big trucks parked there as well? Just wondering.

Linda you just had to bring up that dreaded season didn't ya!! LOL Let us know how they work...I'd love it if I didn't have to bust ice this year.

Different locations have different rules it seems. We've tried going to a few that have HUGE NO TRUCK signs posted all over the parking lot. And others that have the barriers over the entrances that are 9ft or something. We don't park there, or shop there. We try not to use business parking...

These are my kind of ladies!! I'm the same Rich, I don't do the fancy stuff. The fanciest we got was our 25th anniversary...our sons got us gift certificates to go sky diving!! We'd have never thought of something like that on our own. LOL

HEY!! We're ALL special because we're Expediters :+

Thanks for the tip. I'd much rather stop at a local place that's clean than the big chains.
