We've gone from returnable glass bottles, removing an income source to kids who picked up those bottles and returned them to the store, to plastic bottles that fill the landfills. From paper bags (save those trees) to plastic bags that stick to fences along the highway. So much for that...

Thank you! See guys? It can be done, a simple straight forward answer without all the jabber Sheeeesh....and they say women talk too much!

Good Morning India :) We use 2 fans in the truck in the summer. The moving air just feels cooler and the A/C doesn't seem to work as hard. In the winter, we use a fan on low, pointed toward the ceiling to circulate the warm air off the ceiling. The difference is amazing.

I would like to see them use better names for the boards. For example, call Charlotte...Charlotte? Has anything changed yet? I look at the board maps and they still look the same to me.

Hey Turtle...if you're still in New Bern, NC...would you mind going across the bridge and check on my house? We haven't seen it in a few months! LOL

A few years ago we were hauling a paper load (44,000lbs) down the New York Thruway when a gust of wind moved us from the right land to the left lane, just pushed the whole truck and trailer sideways. Luckily there was no one beside us at the time. We decided to park it after that. No sense...

We work as a team and adjust our rest times accordingly.

Off topic slightly..... People stress using a paper towel to open the bathroom door after washing their hands and then proceed to use the public telephone, grab the pen to sign the fuel ticket, get coffee from the machine, open the refrigerator case to get a soda, press the buttons to get into...

We haven't delivered our load yet, so I can't look to see if anything has changed.

Wow! Now what might that driver have been thinking in those few seconds? :eek:

was made famous by Tina Turner I've been some version of Pelicn since the first time I got an email address (which is the reason for the spelling). Growing up in FL and being a beach rat, they fascinated me. Graceful in the air, and clumsy on the ground....just like me :D

Moot I had to look up this lake, so thank you for that. Learn something new everyday :D Great pictures too!

We've had a few round trip loads and they've been dispatched as one load. We've also hauled a nose cone like the one pictured, except it was for a lear jet. :D

Yes, we all have opinions but, when you sign up on this site, there is a set of rules that you agree to abide by correct? If you don't like the rules, then don't sign up. Obviously, a drive by poster hasn't read the rules.

My thoughts too. Sad story all around.

US 501 between I-81 around Glascow, VA down to Lynchburg, VA :eek:

Ummm...Scuba...take a look at this Tail of the Dragon Panther and FedEx represented along with all the other misguided folks. So much for the "shortcut"

Boy do I feel stupid! We've not had an inside search of the truck, so I didn't even consider that the dog would alert by scratching. We have leather seats and our cabinets are not scratched so I would definitely be upset if a search resulted in damages. Learn something new everyday!

Streakin what you described sounds reasonable. I wouldn't expect a company to just let a driver jump into a truck without some type of refresher. It's the "you've not driven for X amount of time so you need to go through the complete training again. When I went to school, we had a man in...

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger...
