    Pre-trip inspections

    Sorry but my comment will sound cruel. It didn't matter if there was a brake light out or he was moving, the fact is that it was really her fault and she sort of learned a hard lesson - too bad. I can't fault the truck driver because there is something called responsibility, cutting through...

    Miss USA? What's next?

    Ok I think that Trump has moved from serious business and money making to the "are you just a dumb a**?" group. I heard all this stuff about Miss USA and her drinking, drug use and making out with Miss Teen USA and think Mr. Trump just lost it by not kicking her to the curb. She deseves...

I would keep it a decient temp, maybe 50 degrees if possible before starting it up. I let my former boss use the laptop I use for...

    Things I have seen on the road (sort of)

    I got to tell you that many of you have seen more but I am shocked at some of the things I have seen for the month I have been on the road.
