    PB Blaster is pretty good stuff, or at least I think so.

    Wii Fit

    I spent a week with my sister a few weeks and she has a wii. She doesn't have the wii fit, but she does have the wii sports. We played alot of tennis and boxing. If you really get into those games you would be surprised how much of a cardio workout you end up getting. I had alot of fun with it.

    toyota

    True that OVM. Especially if you consider all the money spent and lives lost during WW2 and reconstructing their country after we whooped the dog crap out of them. If you think about it they would be nothing without us. The US didn't have to rebuild their country after we had to whoop them for...

    toyota

    when I hauled toyota loads I didn't haul them to Japan I hauled them to Ky and WV. j/k, I don't know where to find them,but I have hauled them. I also hauled a load down to San Antonio when they were building the plant down there.

    hello

    Plus a child needs to be around others their age to fully develop socially. I remember riding with my dad and grandpaw in the summer as a kid and I loved every minute of it. At the same time I enjoyed going to water parks, church trips, and school dances. Chances are I wouldn't have been able to...

    Obama a Marxist?

    I was listening to a talk show guy on the radio the other day and he asked this question. I can't remember the guy's name. He was on a national show on the fm radio. He made a lot of good points in favor of Obama being a Marxist. Like how Obama was quoted by the Wall Street Journal saying the...

    FDCC Compared To Landstar

    I'm gonna be the one to ask the dumb question. Are you in a DR or ER unit? Because if you are running an ER unit you would have plenty of available freight because you could pull loads for the non expedite divisions. I have never been with Landstar so I'm just telling you what I heard. That...

    Have you seen this?

    You some times people tell you that stuff to see if you will lower your price. It's kinda like when I worked in the cb business. I would quote a rate on an install and the driver would tell me they could get it done for this cheaper price and that cb shop elsewhere. I'd then tell them to let...

    Have you seen this?

    I don't know because I'm no longer on the road, but it seems from what I read it's a whole new ball game all the way around. Regardless of who you are leased to. Bottom line everyone wants something for nothing, and to make matters worse there are people out there that will give it to them. Not...

    Have you seen this?

    Exactly. That would benefit the company more than it would the ICs. If they wanted to benefit the Ics they would be out looking for new business. If they are dying a slow death. If what you have been doing is not working it's time to try something else. I have always said you can't keep doing...

    Why can't they wash lots

    Greg brought up a good point. You can't expect a truckstop to do something for you just because you bought fuel there. Another thing I learned in high school at the gas stations is the places that sale fuel aren't the ones making the profit. My boss told me on several occasions he was lucky to...

    Have you seen this?

    Ground also has the tractors pulling doubles. Who knows what is going to happen in the future. I know the only Ground vehicle I see resembling a straight truck are the ones used for local p/d and the delivery trucks similar to the ones UPS uses. Although it is a good story for the rumor mill...

    Call me paranoid if you like

    I'm glad I don't live anywhere near a town with a professional sports team. the closest one is Memphis about 3 hours away and I don't think the Grizzleys are that good. Then you have Dallas about 6 hours away. That's a long way for a riot to travel over a sporting event. I just have a feeling...

    newbies....learn from this

    If you are over gross you can't just pay the fine and go about your way in any case I have seen. In an over axle situation you can adjust the axles or load or both to get it right and then carry on. Whether or not you get a ticket in the over axle situation that has been fixed is up to the...

    Have you seen this?

    I thought Freight and National LTL were the company drivers and Ground, CC, and Home Delivery were the ICs? Could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time. I know I have seen some FedEx Freight Cargo Vans, but I just assumed with fuel being what it is FedEx only sends out however big of a truck...

    Alabama class B training

    If I were you I would hook up with a large truckload carrier, get them to pay for school and train you, and then you and your wife can run team. Maybe by then things will have steadied out a little bit. I have heard good things about Roehl (pronounced rail). I have also heard good things about...

    Happy surprises

    I had a below the elbow cast and it didn't hurt. It wasn't a straight through of course. I just took my fingers and put them in the diamond shaped hole in the middle of the steering wheel and the other hand on the wheel. I did just fine.

    Happy surprises

    Then you also have those times where you dh 200 miles to pick up a nice 1,000 mile weekend run and get to the shipper to find out they accidentally put it on a Yellow truck so you have to go to the Yellow terimnal and get your freight. While there you fall out of the back of the truck and srain...

    It's My Day on the Soap Box

    I wish I could have experienced what life was like during my dad's childhood. I would say my Granddad, but I know from his stories growing up in the depression was tough. Customer service is no more. There isn't enough competetion. Look at Wal-Mart. They move into a town and run everyone else...
