Phil I thought by now you and Diane would be happily running your Gyms? How is that project going?

Humble2drive I am always confused on a muscle injury so I am glad you clarified that it is cold first and later heat. I also do not like to take medication or any pain relief, the pain is there for a reason. I did take an over the counter pain relief for this injury so I could sleep and the...

Freightliner Team Run Smart is sponsoring a Rank My Rig Contest for an Alliance Gift Card. There are a few trucks entered but NO Expediters that I saw. I know there are many of you like us that take pictures of our trucks in some pretty cool places...

Monty that is what I was thinking about that I only had a small area that was hurting and I played the What if game. My muscle would spasm when I moved wrong and it sure got my attention. I was really wishing for a heating pad and next time we are home I will try and remember to add one to the...

The other day I was opening a door that was stuck and I pulled a muscle next to my shoulder blade. As the day wore on the pain increased to when if I moved the wrong way it felt as if I was being stabbed in the back. Trying to sleep with a pulled muscle in a moving truck is not fun as the...

Jen thanks for adding the pictures! Those meals look fantastic. Can you share if you are only using the microwave to cook? Can you also share some ideas on how you pull all of that together in such a small area as the sleeper for those that are not yet in a truck.

Honey Bees do not bother me at all. I have developed an allergy to Wasps that continue to get worse each time I am stung. Where I am stung keeps swelling until I can get hold of Benadryl. Once a few years ago when mowing I stuck my elbow in a wasp nest and was stung many times and that is...

Overdrive has posted the ten worst case scenarios on their web site and they are all something to think about. Here is the one on being stung while driving. 1. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road 2. Exit your rig as soon as it is safe 3. Remove stinger with knife or credit...

58 - 60 mph is our normal speed but I have been experimenting with driving faster on flat ground with the Tail and have had mixed results. When in New Mexico on I-40 I picked the speed up to 65 and slowly my MPG dropped and then I dropped down to 62 MPH and I saw an increase. There is no set...

We have had a couple fills since adding the Trailer Tail and this by far is not enough fill ups to give a thumbs up on the Tail but so far we are happy. All of my figures are using the odometer and not the trucks computer. July our average MPG was 11.59 Since the Trailer Tail 12.16 12.81...

I have been warned about this and I will do my best to stay humble... It will be VERY difficult due to the nature of this award.

There was a question about ice and snow. We will shut the Trailer Tail if it is snowing and we are stopped so not to get build up. If we get build up going down the road which seems unlikely we will shut the doors so the snow will dump. The system is built to hold weight and we can easily...

If I am awarded the infamous Mootology Royal Council Citation of Merit I will graciously accept.

I do not think so both articles are good and I am glad you posted the link or I would have missed it. Todd did a great job as always.

Jenny thanks for adding that as i missed it. I knew Todd took a lot of pictures but I had not seen them posted.

Jim they have reflective tape on them and they are made to collapse upon impact. A car or pickup would go under the tail, a trucks hood would catch it and then we also have the fact that they have rear ended us. Here is what I learned from Brendan at T/T The tail was crash-tested before it...

We have not been in adverse wind conditions so I have no personal experience and can only go off of what I have been told. They work great in a side wind. The Trailer Tail weighs 160lbs for a dry box and 165lbs for a reefer We took the Air Tabs off a while ago and have done some other...

When I spent time with Andrew Smith we talked about the earlier versions and what the company has done to make the Tails stronger. They are very aware of the test fleet drivers put the Tail through. Time will tell what the TT will do for us. We seem to put our trust in many of the right...
