While walking across the parking lot at the TA in Santa Rosa, NM, I walked across this antique embedded in the parking lot... Years ago, when we started, the internet was not what it is now. We paid for a dial-up subscription that we could use at the truck stops. Many of the restaurants had...

In a previous blog, Finding A Needle In A Haystack, I showed you how easy it was to install 12V LED light strips in my toolboxes. After using them for a while and seeing the benefit of the lights, I decided to add another LED light strip to another dark area that was very much in need of...

Our new Cascadia does not have window curtains, and we were looking for an alternative solution.... Fellow expediters told us about the Sun Screens, and I was very skeptical, and Bob was appalled at the idea of adding snaps to the outside of our truck. Bob goes to extreme lengths to never drill...

It is that time of year again. The daylight is shorter and the nights are longer. Some days we may be doing more in the dark than in the light of day. Working in the dark adds another challenge to the task, being able to see what you are actually working on. Many activities can require both...

Recent crash data from the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) for 2018 has shown a slight increase in trucking fatalities over 2017. Well, that depends on where you read about it or how you define slight. Some sources report the increase as being “the highest level in 30...

We watch as traffic plays out in front of us from our high perch, and I am often in awe as I watch the dance of the travel lanes. As I drive, I am also a keen observer of what is happening in front of me for several reasons. One, my goal is to be able to react quickly so as not to be involved...

Not something we wanted to hear from our customer as he stepped into the freight box.... On our way to pick up our load, it rained cats and dogs, a real gully washer, and as I pulled into the customer's property, I drove around several huge puddles. Bob went in to speak with the customer as I...
