Is anyone else tired of snow yet?

The "C" word is not allowed in our house!

On our BOL's we have a line that is checked saying the seal was intact that we check and the consignee signs when accepting the freight. We also carry bolt cutters and often the consignees bolt cutters are shot or then have left them on someone’s truck. The seal though is not cut unless...

You know OVM there is not a doubt in my mind that if worse came to worse Bob would freeze before he let me freeze. I am spoiled rotton!

Hey Moot we also have a rattle in the dash and you can only hear it when we idle. I figure it is code for "Do Not Idle Do Not Idle Do Not Idle" so we shut the truck off to get rid of rattle. I cannot tell you how many times Bob has pulled the dash apart looking for that rattle!

One of the things we have always taken for granted is our Rig Master being there for us. Last year our Rig Master trying to gel up and the light bulb went on finally in my head. We could always sleep dressed but that sure does not sound like a lot of fun. I have started carrying more blankets...

Happy New Year from frozen Wilkes-Barre PA and the Petro.

There is not enough driving time in the day to listen to all the great books out there! We have the perfect job to get all of the education to have a masters degree and still have time to listen to fun books.

Had a friend call us that was going through Florida and stopped at three different J's and all had the fuel islands blocked off. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

There are so many people at MATS it is very difficult to find people you should recognize much less someone you do not know. We need a really bright lanyard maybe to identify us EO Groupies that is totally different then all the others that are given away. Maybe a cool bag to carry around...

Great Turtle thanks for defining this subject clears up a lot of misconceptions.

pelicn thanks for correcting those figures I thought I might be off on that. We do not take the per diem deductions like salesmen do.

Why do you need per diem for each state? I believe the deduction is $58.00 in the US per day per team member when away from the house; I am not sure what the Canada Per Diem is. This is a good post on why you need a good truck accountant.

I purchased ACT and it has as the second ingredient 11% alcohol.

It is not easy to find a mouthwash without alcohol so if you have mouthwash in the truck you might want to dispose of it.

I was not paying attention today and bought mouthwash with 22% alcohol in it. I have always been told that you need to buy mouthwash with no alcohol in it to keep from getting a possible positive alcohol breath test. So the mouthwash will stay with our daughter and I will buy more mouthwash...

Merry Christmas!! Hope everyone is safe and warm and right where they want to be. We are having a blast here at the house watching Bob try to learn to play his new Guitar Hero the girls got him.

jjohnson48 If you have any question in your mind about being dispatched around take the time to spend a little time in Green and watch how the trucks are dispatched. They do not have time to pick trucks to dispatch.

Cheri let us know how it works just being made in the truck. We are lacking on breakfast items! Has anyone done any fun Christmas or New Years items in the truck that we can add to the book?

The only time our truck has seen 65 mph is going down a hill or when it was hooked to a tow truck! We though are not planning at this time to change our ECM to be legal to run in Canada. The "not tamper proof" is really irritating and if it can be set back who wants to change the ECM going...
