I agree with you that what a dog does is natural the problem is that there are A LOT OF dogs in a small area and not many people clean up after them. The smell from that area is worse then many parking lots.

We also have never had a FAST load but we did cross a few times before we had our FAST cards. With just our drivers license and then our Passports and I believe coming back into the states with our FAST cards made life much easier. Once we had the FAST cards we were never questioned about...

We have the TWIC card and as of right now no it has not helped us get a load but in the future yes I think it will. We decided to get our TWIC Cards now so that we were not under a dead line or in a huge line to get it. If you get the card on its own the card is good for 4 years if you use say...

One of the considerations on using a ramp for a dog is how close we often have to park to the truck next to us in a truck stop. There are times when there is barely enough room to open the doors! There are no dogs allowed in WG and if caught with a dog you will immediately lose your WG flag.

Heck with a big dog like that use up some of the plastic bags that the big box stores put your groceries in! That will get some of them off of the ground and at the same time keep the grass from getting so covered with....

Hey Cheri Happy Birthday! Hope you were able to do something special! Maybe we can all sing Happy Birthday to you at MATS this year!

We have a dog and we also have baggies stored beside our passenger seat so we can clean up after her. I also wish pet owners would clean up after their pets and also watch where they take their pets for a potty break. It is just not real appetizing while eating to look out the window and see a...

Very good post EB! Thanks for taking the time to write all of that out.

Part of the problem as I see it is that freight has picked up after a pretty long period of not much going on. We are still trying to get back into the grove of working harder which is a great thing and then keeping all of our other activities updated. The freight comes first then everything...

We are at HOME! We have not been home since the first part of September nor have we been able to even get close to here to run by and pickup our mail. So the first thing I am thankful for is to be home and help with preparing our traditional Thanskgiving Meal. I am thankful for a lot and here...

Bruno that is pretty hard to commit to this time of year. We are usually running pretty hard and know we will be taking a little extra time off during the holidays to be at home.

Yes you will have to pay for the road test. Your best reply will be to call in and get the answers you need straight from FedEx.

It is all about the driver and the drivers who watch their step they will be a wanted commodity by the companies. Our score will directly affect the carriers score and their insurance.

One of our biggest concerns with our class 7 is we do not have a jake brake and really look forward to having that in our next truck which will be a class 8. To us one of the other bonuses of having a class 8 is the longevity of the truck. Our class 7 truck rides really well with the lift axle...

How your truck is geared will greatly affect where your "sweet spot" is. It sounds as if the truck is geared to run at a higher speed.

Our Norpass does the exact same thing and it has done this since day one 3 years ago not a problem. Our PrePass only flashed green for a short period of time. We have since combined NorPass and Prepass and just have the NorPass in the truck. I would not worry about the green light flashing...

Jim I think you have the best plan overall!

We have not talked about these for a long time and I would like to throw the question out there. Do you use a deer whistle? Have you tried anything else that has helped? How do you try to stay away from deer?
