OK everyone, back here looking for more expert advise. I am not very happy with the truck stop internet service. I have an internal card on my computer with no antenna. I think that the lack of antenna is the main problem. Who knows where to find a USB mobile antenna? I guess that is what I...

Thanks again, E.O. always helps me when I need it. I just got back from a run to Alaska. I got VERY lucky and did not need to chain up at all. It looks like it might be worth the money for the system. I hate putting on chains, Joe

OK, don't laugh, but do the auto chain up systems work? How do they work? Do they work as advertised? I have been using chains since I was a pup but if there is a better system I am all ears. Joe

I knew I could get help here. Thanks again as always. Keep the info coming, I need all the help I can get. Joe

I am looking for an on-line or real store to buy load securement supplies.I am looking for straps, corner protectors etc. I have also seen metal "collars" that go over load bars, they have e-track fittings on them. I think I heard of a place in Medina OH. Any help for me out there? Thanks, Joe

Again, E.O. comes to the rescue. I will check Del. out. PA is a pain with most things. I know, I lived there for 14 years. Joe

Thanks, I will check it out Joe

I HATE stopping at toll booths!! I have been trying to look into EZPass, has anyone done this? It seems like you have to apply to each state, is this correct or is there a central place to get this service? Thanks in advance, Joe

Been out for a 3 week shot this time. Had a lot of fun, lots of loads. We sat very little and most likely could have ran more. I am learning a ton and more than making a living. Why didn't you guys tell me about this 10 years ago? LOL. On the road again soon. Can't let the grass grow under the...

Roger that! Had a great short run today and one in the morning, 1000 miles this time. CooL EH?

We have a frig in the sleeper, cooking stuff too. The guy that owns the truck wanted me to "experiance" truck stop food one night. A very mean thing to do to a newbie!!! Joe

Yep, so far I like it alot. I will enjoy it more when the wife goes out to drive with me, that is the next step. I did have what I thought was a good week. The owner of the truck said it was only so-so and that I would see better weeks. I am really looking forward to getting back out there. I...

HI everybody, Just back in off my first week on the road, thought I would check in here. Had a very good week, ran a ton, made money. The owner I drive for is a GREAT help. I just cannot believe how much fun I had. The freedom from that daily grind and a really bad boss. Looking out the window...

Stop asking questions? I will more like a two year old with the questions. LOL. I ALWAYS take care of my toys. I expect to be treated with respect and always do the same with others. I know no other way. When everyone is straight up front everyone benifits. I know that the owner is in it to make...

I have got a ton of help. I will be driving with the owner for a bit. He wants to be sure that I get off to a good start. Assuming that all goes well my wife will join me in a few months. Don't want to put all the eggs in one basket to start. Really looking forward to this and getting a little...
