The Marshmallow Test is a worthwhile read. Thought that runs through head: If that person who cut me off in traffic was raised properly they wouldn't be out here trying to kill everyone. Or: How do I keep from throttling that one receiving technician at that one particular, unnamed customer...

Dave Ramsey's saying about naming dollars is how we remember where a dollar went or was spent. A financial plan is one way of giving dollars a name or a purpose. Each month a financial plan can be used for our day-to-day income and once those commitments have been met the fun can begin. What...

Why is there so much chatter on the EO threads about insurance structures right now? T Motor Carriers operate under the Traditional structure where they provide the Primary Liability for all their Owner Ops. T is being undercut by some M/I (Multi/Independent Motor Carriers) where the Owner Op...

Another find when shopping while waiting. A few weeks ago I drove over to Lansing to meet another driver who had a load coming to the area. He got a load back out before we had a chance to meet. It wasn't a total waste, because while waiting I visited an Office Max store that was closing and...

ok, you all can resume using ass to your heart's content. :rolleyes:

I've changed the filtering somewhat, so assume and assimilate will now show in their entirety!

Why recruit the 20-something's? While reading an article online from CCJ about recruiting drivers who are in their 20's and all of the difficulties companies are encountering I wondered why waste your time, efforts, and money. We keep hearing and reading about the driver shortage in trucking...

Another perk that comes with the job. As part of the driver retention program at Load One, they have something called Gold Rewards. A driver earns points by keeping current on training, participating in company surveys, time with the carrier... The points can then be redeemed at an online...

I read those headlines on a Seth Godin blog and I thought what in the world is he talking about now? Seth Godin's blog started out with the following paragraphs: A hundred and fifty years ago, when people finally began organizing to eliminate child labor in American factories, they were called...

Geocaching = Treasure Hunt that is done across the United States or the world. Above ground or below the sea caches can be found. Years ago we used a small GPS device and when we were in an area we had to download the maps and then look to see if any caches were hidden nearby. Now we can use...

This post of Looking Both Ways will help you understand the reasoning why the carrier you are attempting to lease on with, or now wish to drive for, won't accept your current DOT physical or current DOT Annual Vehicle Inspection even though they are not expired. Why? You (or the company you were...

We have heard all of the comments "How can you stand to be together all of the time?" There seems to be a mistaken idea that team driving means we are constantly together and while that is technically true it really is far from the truth. We share a business and our business is running a truck...

A weak spot to watch in the Sprinter wheel well. The undercoat on the Sprinter has held up really well. The entire underside of the vehicle is coated with a yellowish, waxy, self-healing coating. The one point to pay particular attention to is the body seam in the rear wheel wells. READ MORE...

Leo, I sent in all the recipes and they chose the ones to include in the book... I'm going to assume that 'Cake' did not make the cut since the theme of the book is Healthy Eating. Personally I think chocolate should have a minimum daily requirement!! :happy:

We now have 79694 miles on our "new" Cascadia and we are pleased with her performance. The Caffcadia likes the heat and so far in April we have had one fill-up at 13.913 for 972 miles and two fill-ups above 12 mpg. The lifetime fuel mileage average to date is 11.82 and we think it will get...

You see what just ONE spammer can do... I delete many every day before they have a chance to post. I wish spammers and hackers would use their smart tech brains for good and not evil. o_O

Some of the recipes that were submitted by EO forum members appear in the cookbook.... Looks like a great addition to my recipe collection, even tho I'm not in a truck!
