My first thought, as well. That many loaded miles, plus that much deadhead, equals not a whole lot of sleep.

Well, considering we have no idea who the Republican candidate will be, nor who the front-running third party candidate will be, it's a little premature to make such a statement.

I don't know if that's part of their benefit package or not, or if it's too much. If what you described happened exactly as described, and there is no "rest of the story" (whether you are aware of it or not), I can't imagine that it's a routine occurrence, regardless.

Kenly 95 TA Truckstop Unveils 65-foot Lighthouse | Iowa 80 Truckstop KENLY, NORTH CAROLINA – As the construction and remodeling progresses at the Kenly 95 TA Truckstop in Kenly, North Carolina, the facility has now completed construction on an amazing 65-foot lighthouse that was unveiled...

In a restaurant or foodservice setting, employees getting free food isn't free food, it's part of how they are paid. Complaining about employees getting free food is about like complaining that employees get employer-paid health care, or for that matter, about employees getting a pay check.

By and large, especially if the tractor is a team, you will gross more than that on the average week. But, one of the most difficult transitions to deal with is someone from regular trucking who enters the expediting sector. They are used to running every day, all day, day in and day out. In...

Thanks. Most of the research I do is just to confirm my memory, and to get the details right. I'm still not positive that 1914 was the year of Hope with the Native American Nazi symbol. I haven't researched it that closely. It may have been 5 or 6 years earlier, but it was around that time. Each...

The number of serious heart attacks goes up 6 to 10 percent (PDF) on the first three workdays after the time change. Of course, that won't have much of an effect on expediters, since none of us get regular sleep anyway. On the upside, we're better drivers in daylight, reducing fatal car...

And yet you give them integrity and credibility every time you post about them. If neither were credible, their comments wouldn't be worth addressing. Both men's jobs are to create and build ratings, integrity not required. But even in disagreeing with them, actually by disagreeing with them...

Oh, yeah, it's true, all of it. There's a lot more history to the Pledge, but that about covers it. The Bellamy Salute, named obviously for the inventor of the salute and the original author of the Pledge, Francis Bellamy, predated the Nazi salute by many years, having been devised back in 1892...

Oh, I know. One doesn't really need to know anything about their fuel, unless some reason pops up that they should. Like, before I got a Sprinter I knew squat about diesel. I only knew that it would put a lit match out if you threw one into it, and that it was great for cleaning greasy tools...

I've been playing chess with a guy via e-mail since 1990. Sometimes we'll go weeks between moves, but generally we average about one game every 3 months.

You'd think that most professional truck drivers would know all the minute details of their fuel. Nope.

The Pledge of Allegiance has a fascinating history. The reference to God in the Pledge of Allegiance is a little off the wall, perhaps even hypocritical, since it was added as a response to those "Godless commies" back in the 50's. It wasn't in the original Pledge, which was written, oddly...

Yup. Billy Cunningham in Cincinnati, WLW AM 700, is the best there is. He gets people all worked up and frothy, whether they agree with him or not, to the point where they can't stop tuning in. He can, and has, taken both sides of an issue, sometimes at the same time. The man is brilliant. :D...

"...atheist Michael Newdow, who claimed the references to God disrespect his religious beliefs." He's an atheist, so by definition he has no religious beliefs to disrespect. He doesn't mind disrespecting those who do believe, however. If someone wants to reference God, or anyone else, let 'em...

Told you. :D A caller asked Limbaugh: "If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself?" Limbaugh responded: "I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa...

If you call now, the first 500 callers will receive, at no additional charge, the New York Times #1 best selling book, in like, ever, "The 911 Conspiracy - Why It Never Happened" by Chester A. Arthur, with a newly added Foreword by James Garfield. I'm just having some fun. I thought the...

Facts just pίѕѕ people off.

That's not necessarily true. WilcoHess does indeed have 45 cetane fuel, but there are others who do, as well. Most diesel retailers don't make it a point to let you know the cetane of the fuel you are buying (since diesel is a distilled product, not a manufactured product, and can vary from...
