Good morning boys and girls. Did you sleep well and have pleasant dreams last night? I thought so. Today we will learn a new word. That word is NO. Can you say NO? There, I thought you could. NO is a small word which can have a huge effect on our daily lives. If dispatch offers you a...

No need to carry spare parts that you are not willing or capable of installing yourself on the road. I replace my serpentine belt every 100,000 miles at tune-up time. Never had one break. I did recently replace one after it got contaminated with coolant from a broken hose. Had to drive into...

I keep it simple. Spare tire, extra light bulbs including headlamp bulbs, assorted fuses, socks and underwear.

If your truck sat for a day and a half in -30 degree temperatures and started right up I'd say you're not missing anything. In fact you've got it all. Including a heated horseshoe up your ***.

Dakota, do a search under diesel engine preheaters. Webasto makes ones and maybe Espar. Home Phillips-Temro Check this one out. I used to pickup and deliver here. Even did a couple of outbound expedite loads.

I suspect most CV drivers would not admit to falling asleep and running off the road, especially on a public forum. MSinger posted his story to show it can and does happen. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/31239-crashed-old-yeller.html

How does this make Obama unique from any other U.S. President going back to Truman?

I do simple math problems in my head. Current mile marker to next rest area, truck stop, exit, etc. If I'm having problems it is time to pull over. I've been doing this long enough that I just know when to stop and rest. Ooh, Ooh that's my cue: BAN THE VAN Thanks eb

Chrome dome! You're just envious because you lost the chrome trim ring for your headlight. Wish I wouldn't have been so polite in declining your rib offer. Some ribs would taste good right now.

DD, you might be on to something. If all of those propellers have an effect on the Earth's rotation or obit it could be the prime suspect for the cause of global warming.

Very true, but for T. Boone, G.E. and others wind farms produce a lot of green.

It is nice to see the per Diem deduction increase. Even better would be the full 100%. I don't separate Canadian days because when I go to Canada I usually don't stay long. To quote Letzrockexpress: "Yeah, Canada is o.k... It reminds me of my attic. I don't go up there very often but when I...

There is little or no communication between dispatch, safety and the swap department.

I thought old T. Boone Pickens was out of the oil and natural gas business. I remember hearing radio commercials with him praising wind power and demonizing oil. I made a pickup at an excavating contracting company. They had just been awarded a contract for 400 miles of road for one of...

Panther has a quasi 16 hour rule. 16 hours on duty and then a swap or a 5 hour break. Friday I accepted a 1300 mile direct load at 45 mph. Safety informed me I had to take my 5 hour break. Dispatch said it would swap, but they didn't know where. After about 600 miles and hearing nothing...

Both bulkheads are made with a steel strut frame bolted to the floor and to a top cross piece. Both are insulated and covered with vinyl panels I stripped out of a couple of old Mack MH sleepers. I like to shop at junkyards.

I have a hinged sheet of plywood running crosswise that can be folded up if necessary. I have a second sheet of plywood on top of that which can be turned lengthwise allowing me to sleep either way depending on whether there is freight on board or not. I have a large 3" Cabela self-inflating...

It was President Obama that negotiated the peace talks between the white cop and the black prof saving the country from a racial war. Don't tell me he doesn't deserve the Noble Peace Prize.

I dug in for the day at Panama City Beach. 90 degree temps, found a $5 bill in the pocket of my swim trunks and got a free shower. Life is good!

A couple of hours ago I delivered 3 blast doors to a pipe coating plant in Panama City to replace the doors they blew up Monday. Blast injures 4 at Florida pipe coating facility |
