Happy Birthday Moot and keep up the Chinchilla stories....

Frank and India you will be missed! Over the years we have enjoyed seeing you and Frank out on the road and spending time with both of you. We were able to visit many of the places that you recommended with our favorite being the bus tour with the same tour guide you guys had at Mount...

From what I have read the system has been tweaked again to give negative points to trucks that refuse loads. My guess is the dispatcher sees nothing different as the computer assigns the points and then displays the trucks in the order they are to be dispatched. Only a educated guess as it...

Moose we run a vastly different operation then you do. We sit longer then you do and we have a lot larger sleeper then you do that runs a lot of "gadgets". Our goal is to not have to use the generator as much and look for what will work for our next truck.

Silica gel packets instruct you to throw them away (and not eat them), you can actually keep them for a variety of unexpectedly practical uses around the home. The other day I saw information for uses of these little gems and the lightbulb went on in my head. Now I will hoard them. One use...

Nice wrap up for the first day of the show Moose! I see the sun starting to shine this morning so I think it is going to be a much better day. I am not sure we are deiced yet as we were pretty cold when we left. The best part was having out truck in the booth with the heater running. It...

It was so cold yesterday I did not get out and around and staying in our booth. I have not heard of them being here though.

Average speed has a lot to do how many miles you get in a day. We are usually around 600 if we are on interstate on a long load without stops.

Missie600 - I am very impressed that you have been able to do this with a small refrigerator. Since reading the book Bob has not eaten any wheat that he has been aware of. He basically cannot eat much at a fast food place so that leaves diners. He orders hamburgers without a bun and his...

No to Bleachers - we will not be doing any stairs No to Kilometers - we are in the United States Yes to Moose in PJ's as he is cute

I am curious to what it has cost to get that kind of fuel mileage?

We bought extras last year and I am wondering if we should buy a couple more sets this year. This truck is to tall for me to slap the wipers on the windshield AND when the weather is like that the last thing I want to do is pull of the interstate. They have worked great for us for MANY years!

Most of us use the slush busters and have for many years and know how awesome they work. The question is where to purchase them?
