This is a great You Tube for truck drivers: Merry Christmas

Since I have a Vita-Mix I have smoothies BUT after spending time at our daughters house and using her Juicer it seems as if they are about the same thing. We performed a test using Concord Grapes The juicer made very clear grape juice with little froth The Vita Mix using the same amount of...

Re: 2013: What place did you this year visit that was amazing? Met up with another truck driving couple in Las Vegas and went to see The Beatles Love, Cirque du Soleil show. Had a fun evening and was once again reminded of how small the United States is to truck drivers. Marked off my bucket...

One more load for the year and we are going home! Looking forward to family time and Christmas.

Nuwave Oven I have been hearing more drivers talking about using this oven and I wondered if anyone can tell me more about it? I hate the idea of spending money on a Nuwave without a few more reviews. The description looks very interesting and it does cook fast and it appears faster then...

We have been anything but slow while heading into December which is why we choose to stay out over Thanksgiving. Would we prefer a home cooked meal in a families kitchen? YES but we know that we will make up for it over Christmas and we will end the year with a strong finish hauling freight...

Having the Murphy Bed opens up the sleeper and allows us to have what appears like two rooms. We have had six people comfortable in our sleeper visiting as our front seats swivel. This past weekend while iced in at Fort Worth, TX we easily had another couple join us for meals. I was able to...

Anything that works! I am glad the video gave you some ideas. I am amazed at how much more room having the murphy bed gives us. Thank you for asking the question I really appreciated it.

I was asked in a different thread to post how easy it is to raise and lower our Murphy Bed. In the almost three years that we have had this sleeper I can only think of a couple of days that the bed was not raised so that we could eat or work at the table. If the bed was difficult to raise or...

I could not agree more! We came across on I-20 last night going into Fort Worth and it was a mess. The interstate was shut down in several places due to accidents and we were directed onto side roads. The good of all of this is that the traffic we were in was moving slow and cautious and we...

Article on Team Run Smart by Jim Klepper about privacy and the lack of it… He lists states that still have some privacy but that list is not very big. I found it interesting reading and very disconcerting. This paragraph in the article sure got my attention: The facial databases have...

Best fuel card I have heard of is the one NASTC offers. While there is a membership fee the fee is quickly covered by the discounts. We know several independent operators that are members of NASTC and their discount is the same as ours or better. Theirs is close enough to ours that it will...

You have a very long memory Zorry! That would have saved me a lot of money and heartache. That cup might be more valuable then I thought.

Seat Belts do not make us better drivers but in some instances instead of hitting the windshield or the floor we can be held in our seats and possible control our vehicle after an impact instead of being knocked out or thrown from the vehicle. Drinking and Driving makes no sense.

Cheri…. You hit on the other awesome thing about this great cup! It does not spill when knocked over. I have tested this more then once and I still jump when the cup falls over. The cup is sealed very well and when you take a drink you squeeze the cup.

Moose we by our own choice should wear a seat belt each and every time we get in a vehicle. If we made the decision to protect our lives then there would be no need for these rules is what I am saying. FMCSA CSA DOT ATA And any other agency should not have to worry about us wearing...
