Actually it is a great idea! Gonna add it to my Walmart list. Coursin no one has ever bothered me in a truck stop yet but ya never know! Might happen and I'll 'WASP'EM' good! :D

Thank you aileron, it is from the heart and how I feel toward my fellow expediters. We expediters are a family and family always looks out for each other. :)

Well! I should hope that trooper gave them a pounding on the bu##! Just hard to believe there could be people that hare brained but I guess there must be! OMG what next? :confused:

Well now, I have one of those little fans that I sit on the counter next to the bed. Works real well for keeping things cooled down. Even though I don't own the truck and I don't pay for fuel I try very hard not to idle the truck unless it is just un-bearable. NOT that the truck owner minds us...

:confused: :eek: Your kidding right? No one really does something like that? Well, since I was born and raised in Missouri, that is one I would have to say "show me" cause I'm not going to believe it could be done unless I see it with my own two eyes! And let me tell you right now, if I see...

I for one am very glad to see this post as I was just looking and considering buying a bluetooth headset from the TA. The headset I was looking at fits over the head whereas the one I have just fits over the ear. My hubby loves the ear piece but I can't hear good and have to hold it to my ear...

Received a PM from loner1 wanting to know why I deleted my post if I was offended. Here is my reply incase anyone else is wondering the same. :) My reply to Loner1's pm: "No, you absolutely did not offend me. I felt I offend one of the van drivers with my post and did not mean to offend...

Is it true? We were told there is some kind of device you can buy that you put on your truck when you cross into Canada you can set a limiter on your truck and then take it off when you come back into the U.S. Is it true or is someone just yanking us. If anyone knows about this and it is...

Tis ok OVM, but don't want to answer the wrong question if my in-put wasn't welcome. Was just trying to help. See, I am greedy, stingy, penny pinching, but above all of these things, I try to help those I can. We all need a helping hand at sometime or other and if I can help someone with a...

Yep, agree with Turtle. We use it as a back-up to our Magellan, it is a great program. Most of the time if our Magellan can't get us there on locals I pull out the Microsoft Streets & Trips and it gets us there. Also, it is great for seeing where your at (exactly) for making turn-arounds when...

Well then OVM why don't you anwser his question?

Just a thought, sounded pretty good when I read it but didn't really figure out the actual cost. As for credit I would think anyone leasing a truck would have to have credit. As for reserves, I'm poor as a church mouse but do own my home in Kansas outright. Was just inquiring. Would have to have...

Just saw a classified for a 2008 Hino leased onto Panther. 5000. down with 2400 month for 60 months. Wondering how Panther teams are doing if it might be worth checking into? :confused:

Well, we won't be going to Canada anymore. Gonna miss it, is a beautiful place but not worth limiting the truck to 65 for U.S. loads as well. Don't do enough Canada to make it worth limiting it in the U.S. too. :(

Never had it happen at an ATM at a truck stop but did have it happen at Walmarts self-check isle and their ATM machine. Used my debit card and took the cashback option of 100.00 when paying. The machine only gave me 60.00 back. The cashier opened the machine and gave me my other 40.00 it was...

ROFL OMG! I can't believe there is a website to locate toliets. :D

Sometimes as we are driving down the interstate our gps will pipe up and say "whenever possible make a legal u-turn". Always get a laugh out of it. Sometimes it is off a bit on addresses or just recently I tried for a Wylie Texas address and the gps wouldn't take it by city, had to do it by...

1. Keith & Sheila 2. Tri-State 3. Straight Truck We eat in the truck. We no longer take 'off' time. Stay in service,available, taking loads. Purchase only necessary items. Count pennies . :rolleyes:

I try to 15 the pre-trip and flag the post trip but sometimes do the reverse. I think it is individual with each day. If I have time to do it at the start I prefer to start with it. If it is a 'shorted time' pick-up I will go to the pick-up, get loaded and then do the pre-trip. I just do it...

This article was written by Sandy Long. Layover.com The Driver Fatigue Checklist. With all the recent focus on driver fatigue, it appears that everyone is getting into the act. The latest bit of news that we hear is a Minnesota state trooper who has developed a "Driver Fatigue Evaluation...
