At the moment, Diane and I are sitting at the Flying J at Exit 0 (zero) just west of El Paso on I-10. We're on a weekend run and have a little time to spare. If you're in the area, tonight or tomorrow morning, private message me. Pie and coffee, or breakfast is on me.

Pictured below is the fourth truck stop accident Diane and I have seen in less than three years of expediting, and with us avoiding truck stop stays as much as possible. Moral of this one; dont' park on the end of a parking line. Picture does not show it but radiator in the hit truck was...

The cover of the current edition of Expedite Now magazine shows a sharp-looking Volvo straight truck with Panther on the box. Anybody know anything about that one?

Layout, If you have been at this since May and have learned you can live full time with your wife, you have probably learned much more than you are giving yourself credit for. To decide between C and D (or CR and DR), consider your priorities. If income is a top priority, the D truck is the...

Randy, Whether your fiancee intends to drive the truck or not, it would be wise for her to get her CDL and at least get to the point where she can move the truck around. If you fall ill and need to see a doctor, she can drive you to one. If it is serious and an ambulance hauls you away, she can...

dieseldiva said, "'THERE'S NO VENOM LIKE OLD VENOM'" That comment goes to the essence of dieseldiva's and Doggie Daddy's posts. It's about venom. Snakes are equipped to carry venom without harming themselves. Human beings are not. When carried by a human being, venom eats away at one's body...

It does not matter to us what ammenities a truck stop has or does not have. If we know it to be a generally dirty place, we drive on by. The best thing you can put in your new truck stop is an extra cleaning person or two who know how to empty the trash and change the mop water. Two research...

Consider the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS). Over 1,000 exhibitors present their goods and services there. I'd be willing to bet that every single one of them have at least one disgruntled customer in their lives. The larger ones probably have hundreds if not thousands of disastisfied...

>>How is verizon's reception? I've heard it was off and on in >>most of the country. At this moment, we are westbound on IL I-80 at mile post 45. Nothing but fields in sight. Next large community is Davenport/quad cities. The I-80/I-39 interchange is about 30 miles behind us. Pretty remote...

The Verizon air card will work anywhere Verizon has digital coverage including a house, hotel, office building, truck stop parking lot, a beach, in a small Texas town 200 miles from the nearest large city, in the woods, and even driving down a highway. We have used it in all of the above...

It is not uncommon in the Open Forum for someone to say that writing letters to elected officials makes no difference. Having seen an number of mail-room operations run by state and federal elected officials, I beg to differ. Every phone call, fax, e-mail, and letter makes a difference...

Our Rainex experience is the same as hedgehog's. While Rainex provides instant results that you can see (water does not bead up), it's effectiveness diminishes with time, requiring removal of the old wax and application of new. We find it to be more trouble than it's worth. Easier to change you...

Well, the ProHeat fix turned out to be straightforward. Removing the covers revealed the problem. There are two belts on the unit. One of them had given up the ghost. Being in Orlando, I called the local ProHeat dealer to see if they had the belt in stock and time to fix the unit. The call was...
