Smoking is a funny addiction from how I see it. Bob quit and that is it he just quit. I have not written about how I finally quit as I was able to do this a couple years before we started trucking. It was not easy and it was not something I will ever go through again. It was very rough...

Jenny Great job! Thanks for posting what all you have done with the ups and the downs as it is inspirational.

All of the above.... When I was a smoker I used cigarettes in these circumstances and i was a very heavy smoker. Once I quit smoking I REALLY figured out how great food tastes.

What interests me about MyFitnesspal is the Nutrient Details and this is an area I need to learn more about. I know that I want to keep my sodium or salt down and do not add salt to anything. I would like to learn more about the pie chart and what goal I should be trying for in each of the...

Last year I wrote a blog about zero calorie foods and preparing vegetable snack bags. Zero Calorie Foods

Only a few days left any more ideas about the shops that we can give back to TA/Petro? The good and the bad.

I first read about the benefits of Chia seeds when I read the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall several years ago. I did a little more research on Chia seeds and usually have a container of them in my refrigerator. The Chia seeds are added to smoothies usually and a few times I have...

While you were at Speedco did you pick up a copy of Expedite Now? That is interesting I did not know about that brochure. The exercises are doable and Bob hands out tips like that all of the time for free. I have seen him spends a lot of time with drivers knowing they were not ready to buy...

I did a series of blogs on how our fuel mileage changed when we kicked the speed up with the conclusion "It Depends" In great conditions, flat roads, axle up we could get good fuel mileage with out the "perfect" conditions our fuel mileage suffered. I did a blog series with this one being the...

We did a fuel mileage test last year with this truck and I found that speeding up I was more tense. At the end of the day my shoulders muscles were in knots and my neck always hurt. 58 works really well most of the time for stress and for fuel mileage. I know Henry does not like 55 and is...

Are you in a van? What do you drive that only used 5 gallons of oil, no oil filter and one fuel filter?

Cheri I think it is for their records also on what has been done to the truck. Not sure they want to change that if they are the ones that do the work.

Great information to share! Thank You

We have a unique opportunity in a week to work with TA/Petro shops all over the country in a short seminar. TA/Petro management is asking for feedback of what they are doing right and what they need to improve with their shops. Can you please share what you have found good or what needs to...

I have been a fan of Bob Perry for many years and he has created a new Fit System that is causing a stir. What is interesting is his work with Freightliner and now the Fit System can be ordered when ordering a new Freightliner as one of the options. Bob had a lot of ideas using the truck as...

Jenny can you share any tips you have learned over the last year using this app and what you have done? I know when I get tired I reach for food to help keep me awake. I still prefer the food to the old way when I used cigarettes to help keep me awake.

The more people that post to these forums the better the information. I have only been in T/T with an OEM sleeper, next to a straight truck with after market sleeper and always as a team. While most of my ideas will work in a OEM sleeper I do not know how many will work in a van as I have...

Turtle I agree with you 100%. While I did not have a clue on the chemicals I should have known it because of all the uses I have found for baking soda. Thanks for explaining it.

Part 2 of Henry Albert's life in the slow lane on Team Run Smart. I found it interesting how his E-Coast feature works more to his benefit at these slower speeds. Team Run Smart - Pro Henry Albert

We had a CAT in our first truck and we spent a lot of time and effort to get good fuel mileage. It has been a lot easier to start with a DD13 inside an aerodynamic Cascadia designed to get good fuel mileage from day 1.
