Article by Jim Klepper about Affirmative Defense and he sure presents some ideas to think about. Here is a quote from the page: With any affirmative defense you must first admit the crime then use the defense as an excuse why you should not be punished. Article on Team Run Smart page...

Jenny I talked with another driver this past weekend that also prepares all of their meals this way. I think that is a great idea and I will concentrate more on getting that done. Great list of foods also. Do you have any ideas for breakfasts? That is a meal I struggle with as I get up so...

That is the deal of the day at Khols and I might have to stop be there: Contigo Astor Stainless Steel Thermal Travel Mug

wwgx90 notice oh their website there are two coffee mugs that look very similar BUT have different amounts of times they will keep the coffee hot and of course they cost different. We will be near a Khols this weekend and I am going to check these out. I know they would make great gifts for...

Cheri it is not that HOT but it keeps is almost as hot as it does when I first fill my cup an hour later. When I start driving and I make my two cups of coffee I hated it when my second cup was cold when I got to it.

We will stay out and spend extra time at Christmas with family.

I like my coffee HOT and all of my travel mugs within a short period of time allow my coffee to get cold. You might say I should drink it faster BUT I like to make two cups of coffee when I start driving and each goes into a travel mug. Well I found a Keurig Contigo Auto Seal coffee travel...

We find ourselves at this location often when out in California. We have done numerous 34 restarts here and we find this place is a great break from trucking. Our first goal is to cross over the hill and interstate I-10 to see a movie, eat, or pick up supplies for the truck. The sidewalks...

Interesting thought but as I understand it any work for compensation must be applied to your on duty time in trucking. Trading work is bartering. So if you Phil polishes Joe's tanks and wheels and Joe does nothing for Phil in exchange that will be fine. If working at a terminal as a dock...

It depends…. What company are you with? What division are you in? When we were with surface we had a hard time getting out of there, now that we have our clearances that is a good area. Now is it a good area around Thanksgiving that is a good question.

Frank I use Quicken and I often struggle wondering what category I should enter a deductible expense under. Drug tests are what first comes to mind. Is there by any chance a listing of the categories and what should be entered in each so that they will be entered correctly when we give our...

Happy Birthday! Have the best one ever and don't do anything I would not do!

They were working on this project when we were there Moose… It is pretty cool but I consider opening and closing the TT as part of my pre trip and post trip. The other nice thing is that to close the TT forces us to get out and look where we will be backing. The Trailer Tail seems to be working...

Here are the Engine Reports ran on 11/18/13 with lifetime fuel mileage and also one picture of three different days average fuel mileage. Hard to argue with an engine report

I know there is skepticism when I post our fuel numbers which is why I will follow up with a DDEC report which shows even better numbers then using the odometer. Most people we compare to have the Allison Transmission which hurt fuel mileage and most drive much faster then us. The fuel tax...

Smell - Sight both can easily make me crave sugar and once in my mind it is hard to get it out.

Phil can you share a little of what you learned at your conference?

Update on Trailer Tail performance and information about the conference call being held with Atdynamics. Chance to learn more about the Trailer Tail if you are interested and would like to ask questions. More info in my blog this week: ATdynamics Trailer Tail Conference Call

While talking to another driver friend her doctor told her for the time being to cut out all Bananas, Grapes, and Pears to help with her sugar cravings later in the day. How many foods do we eat that are good for us but actually can cause cravings later on in the day?

There was an email message sent as well as a QC message saying money is in the bank. Depending on the bank it will be posted today or in the morning. The email stated they believe the problem has been solved and will not happen next week. When I called in Joyce said they were doing...
