We have not used a TripPak box for awhile now and I do not miss them.... It has been fantastic to scan our bills after we finish a load and we are done with it. When excepting some loads I consider the hassle factor and at times this can increase our rate. In the case of TripPak and...

I am wondering also as it looks like we have to buy them from QC and not run down to our local scanner shop and get one or even use one we all ready own.

Jeff Clark, Team Run Smart Pro wrote a blog about supply and demand that I found interesting and I wanted to share the link: Team Run Smart Pro: Jeff Clark What do you think of the idea of reduced HOS?

Re: QRe: Landstar info please Over the years we have watched teasm head on over to Landstar as Expediters or in the truckload divisions. (do not know the correct terms for the divisions). We have listened to their varied approaches on how they presented themselves from creating flyers and...

While at a friends house this past weekend they used an electric Pressure Cooker that caught my interest. The pan inside the cooker was very similar to the pan inside my rice cooker and looked easy to clean. I have never used a pressure cooker and was fascinated by everything they use theirs...

FINALLY - We made it to see the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, OR. Plenty of T/T parking with a lot to see if you are interesting in airplanes or space. Features: Water Park Firearms exhibit Building for modern planes and space Spruce Goose and...

So we do not have a lot of furniture to polish but... I find this site very interesting and next time home I will be trying out this recipe: 1/3 cup water 1/2 tablespoon liquid Castile soap or 1 to 2 tablespoons Murphy Oil Soap 8 drops sweet orange essential oil 4 drops cedar wood essential...

This has been a HOT TOPIC and had heated discussions.... Will bring up at the next meeting as it is very frustrating to all of us. It seems as if most have their QC set to shut off very quickly when parked and so do not even know when locked unless they call in. I agree we should not have to...

There are several interesting books on this subject and the fact that when we say we cannot eat just one chip is true... One of the chemicals in those chips is telling our brains we NEED MORE. The more I read about the twisted science behind some of the food we eat the more I am turning to...

The challenge that concerns me is like you say finding a safe place to park. Planning our day out on where we are going to stop and then hoping nothing goes wrong...

The locks have there purpose but it would sure be beneficial to all of us if they let us know the lock was put on and for what reason. The ability to make a business decision is taken out of hands when a dispatcher decides they know best, place the lock on us, load does not come through, they...

As this date approaches we are working out ways to get the 1/2 break in and how we will approach this. The 1/2 break starts when we go on the clock not when we start driving and we are going to have to think a little further on down the road of where we are going to pull off the road.

I like to play the games on Luminosity and Bob likes Suduko and Solitaire with both keeping us thinking and using our brain cells. Does anyone else use Luminosity? I started using the site in January and try to play every day and have been pretty successful at that goal. I enjoy the...

Listening to music and tapping our feet on the floor of the truck when driving will help and like cranis says while on cruise move your legs. When there is no traffic I will do leg lifts with knee bent for 100 times and then repeat. I start driving between 2 - 3 in the morning and I usually...

My hair is short and still when I think of how much I spend a year for shampoo I am not thrilled. I enjoy learning about using natural products and through Pinterest I learned about using baking soda to make my shampoo. I have oily hair and I was concerned about how clean my hair would be...

As I am getting older my knees hurt most of the time and I want to put off knee replacement as long as possible. I found this site with some good ideas on ways to strengthen my knees without having to go to a gym. Building a better knee

We use a local shop to add our names to our shirts.

I have started experimenting with Essential Oils and I wondered if anyone else has done anything with them? Before we went home last time I ordered a few bottles and they had to be ground shipped as they were considered Hazmat. I made a air freshener for the truck which consisted of 1/2 cup...

That is the best remedy.... I find that I have a problem with Acid Reflux when I do something stupid such as eat to much right before I go to bed... Changing our eating habits is the best of any remedy of anything.

Mixed reviews on using Apple Cider for acid reflux works for some and makes it worse for others. I often add two tablespoons to my bottle of water and I have not had any problems. I started out with one tablespoon of apple cider and built up to two tablespoons. I have not had any problem...
