    Chow Time: Healthy eating on the road

    One thing I've noticed about the buffet is poeple tend to eat more than what they are actually hungrey for in a quest to get their money's worth. That is the main reason I stay off the buffet. Plus fried chicken gets a little old. You know its bad when a guy from arkansas says eating fried...

    Tri-State

    Thanks for the info. I'm not real excited about making the swap but I don't have a whole lot of say in it. I just need to be happy I have an wner who is honest and looks out for me and not just himself. I think I would feel a little better if the would have been more response. Thanks.

    Manual vs. auto

    I'm in a 2000 freightliner century with a 430 det. and a 10 speed eaton auto. The truck has cloe to 700,000 miles on it and it runs like a dream.

    Importance of Freight

    Is it just me or is it funny that in the article about driver emergencies that the first word out of those penny loafer, paper pushing, desk driving executives mouths is about freight.

    I have one question

    I really like expediting and a few of the people are pretty nice. My question is why do most expediters seem to act like they are better than everyone else? I can seldom get anyone to talk to me in the truckstops. I bathe eveynight so I know it's not because I stink. I mean what's the problem...
