    Microsoft Streets and Trips

    Linda, I'm not sure how you can combine files that you've set up on different maps. I'd never used the template setting in Streets and Trips until we bought this. I've added and deleted so much to this original file that it's personalized now. http://www.truckstopsplus.com/ If you put all...

    Stuck in Miami

    Shooter thanks for the information. It's nice to have details on places that are new to us. We talked to security tonight, there is no problem parking here but they will take down your license plate number. They have, in the past, had drivers leave their trucks for weeks and they can't have...

    Duh, I didn't think about it until now. Here's a couple of pictures of the casino that I took this morning. :o

    Stuck in Miami

    Col, if you're talking about the Casino it's now a resort, so it's huge. There is plenty of room to move around now. If you mean the truck stop, you're right. It's small, and there isn't much moving around room.

    Stuck in Miami

    If you find yourself stuck in the Miami area, the Miccosukee Resort and Casino has truck parking in the back of the lot. The casino is located at the corner of US-41 and FL-997. We tried the buffet yesterday, the price was about 8.00 including drink and it was wonderful! The people have been...

    Ohio Truck Speed To Increase

    We've discovered by tracking our fuel mileage that we get better fuel mileage at 62. 60 feels slow and 65 feels fast. We don't get run over, and we don't run up on others that way. Makes for a more relaxing ride.

    Things we thought everyone knew

    We bought the Silverstars and loved them. 3 weeks after we installed them, they both failed at the same time. It was 10 degrees and wind howling outside. :mad: We didn't think about them having a warranty, so after an extreme amount of cussing from my frozen husband, they were tossed. We might...

    Laundry

    I use the zipcode and Google satellite imaging to see what's around. We've found quite a few places that way, including shippers and receivers. It's nice to be able to see whether there is parking or not.

    How did you quit?

    Now that the taxes on cigarettes have climbed into the stratosphere I am again thinking about quitting. I have tried in the past, the longest time being 4 weeks, and just didn't have enough willpower to stay off them. I keep thinking about the taxes and it irritates me to no end that the...

    We use the CB mostly at night. Some of the best conversations can be had once the "solar powered trucks" are off the air. ;)

    Where are we? April 1st

    Petro-Portage, WI April, 1 2009 we've had 3 load offers today. All reduced rate loads, and the last one took the cake. It would have paid .77 for all miles. Someone took it, but we sure can't and stay in business for long. :(
