The load opportunities is all about us and freight. As a customer who is in a bind I would like to know immediately if I had a truck or not. Without customers there will not be the beep of a load opportunity. I know we as the truck like to we are most important but without customers we are an...

We have been where you are at and see that great load and immediately think of how great that load would work out for us. We no longer get excited about a load till we get it and then when we get that awesome load that fits us perfect we are doubly thrilled... Kind of goofy but we no longer...

As the new year is getting closer I have started working on a new goals list. I have found if I write my goals down and how I am going to accomplish them I have a better chance at succeeding. I have also started narrowing my goals down to specifics items and then how I am going to accomplish...

As there become more 2010 trucks out here I hope to see this problem start taking care of itself. You will not need to get DEF every time you fuel. We have also seen the pumps within a TA shop and that will be a real pain in the behind. It is going to take time to straighten this mess out...

You know what you are getting back into! The road calls your name and it is hard to ignore..

Hey AnneM we are working pretty hard at getting a fun walk for MATS this year on Friday morning! I will post more on that as we get closer to MATS as it is open to anyone associated with trucking.

We first saw the Parka's while we were picking up at a FedEx Freight or Ground location. I have never seen any pictures on line for the uniforms.

Mr. & Mrs. Layout I talked to Bob about Parka's and we have a pair of these. The coats really are nice but the problem we have with them is they are HUGE and so take up lots of room. We used them in the truck one year and then went back to our old stand by FedEx hooded jackets which take up...

There has been a lot written on sleeping in the truck. Here are a few posts on this subject: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/womens-view/30856-ear-plugs.html http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/womens-view/28545-keeping-open-eye-road.html

We very seldom fuel anywhere else so we use the TA Showers a lot anymore. Some of the TA showers are really pretty darn nice and some of them are not very nice which is the same as any truck stop chain we go to. We have also met some really nice shower attendants at the TA who have seen me...

Finally at least one picture of the truck with our Christmas decorations.

Well I prefer to cook in my Mickey Mouse Flannel PJ's at home! But our here on the road I find myself reaching for the Rice Cooker most often.

We have directions again on a load that make me shake my head. Anyone that enters directions in the computer needs to take a class on this. Directions with no street names only a local landmark do not work for some reason it is hard to see building colors at night. The other problem is the...

I think also think it depends on the family. I prefer to not have any alcohol in our house on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. I have to many memories of the drunken fights, passing out, snoring, in other words the evening and day you looked forward to for a very long time the people who could...

Very nice tradition Wingnut! Christmas is very important to our family and spending time with each other.

Welcome to the jungle!

I received this from Women in Trucking and thought I might not be the only one interested in this. If you are not a member of WIT trucking and would like to join here is the website: Women in Trucking Association Dear Member, You have the opportunity to get fit in 2010 with the help of...

This is a very good thread for suggestions on what drivers are seeing as problems and how they would like to see the problem solved. What an great way for MANY people to discuss issues and the solution they would like to see. As for non White Glove DoD trucks not sure what you mean as DoD in...

Pelgrn we also will be lost without our sticky calender and like you as of yet have not seen any.
