You did 104,000 miles as a solo! WOW! Way to go OVM.

We received almost $2000 in fuel discounts at T/A last year. We only use the J's parking lot and restrooms. Sometimes we will eat at the Denny's. If we need a shower we will pay for one.

The drinking age was 18 when I was 18. With fake ID I could get into bars at 16 or 17. From my experience I would have to say the drinking age should stay at 21. An exception should be made for anyone serving on active duty in the military. If you are old enough to fight and die for your country...

Once when there were no semis in the area and the customer couldn't wait our carrier dispatched 2 straights to take the load. I guess it would depend on the customer and carrier to decide.

It's the first day of the year. What are you plans for today? I plan to watch a few bowl games, start loading the truck to go back in service on Monday, maybe a trip to Wally World to get some supplies and meat to grill tonight. And update my spread sheets for this year.

Wow, you two did great. We bought a lot of our fuel in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Indiana. And ran most of our miles elsewhere.

Our fuel taxes on our settlements were $610 for the year. So we came out about $1400 ahead.

I just got done running all our numbers for 2010. We received almost $2000 in discounts buying fuel at T/A's with our T Chek card last year. Next year we are going to leave it on our card and spend it on Christmas. Kind of like a Christmas club account.

We are starting our New Year with $200 on our T Chek card and $300 in our checking account. All bills for January have been paid and everything else we have has been moved to our other accounts. Our goal is to make it through the entire year without having to loan ourselves any money from...

it's currently 74 here in Florida. Clear skies and lots of sunshine.:D

Found my latest air leak today. Since it is a nice warm 74 degrees I decided to crawl around under the truck with my soapy water bottle and found it within 3 minutes. I have a tiny pin sized hole in one of the rear airbags. Air loss is around 50 pounds in 24 hours. Time for a new air bag. At...

I don't know how many bars we get but we have not had any problems getting a signal anywhere except in Queens, NY. The GPS couldn't seem to stay locked in long enough to keep a route. It's not too hard to figure out. Took about 2 days. After 5 runs we feel pretty comfortable with it.

Right now I am considering Florida the frigid north. 3 nights with temps in the teens is getting old. :( But I was considering places like Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, etc. We are planning to get a room when we layover for the weekend up in those parts. But in another thread layoutshooter...

My business goal is to sit less, drive more and get a higher rate per mile.

The batteries are around 4 months old. Four of them at 1010 CCA. I usually put in Howes if I know I'm going to be up in the cold areas for awhile. My reason for asking is this: If we are laying over in the frigid north and decide to get a hotel room for the weekend I don't want to have to...

At what outside air temperature would you idle your truck to keep it from freezing up? No generator, no shore power for the block heater and no one in the truck. But you might have to leave soon. I read an article recently that said anything below 22 F.

Tim Tebow, the quarterback who everyone says wouldn't be able to play in the NFL got his first win last night in only his second start. Prove them wrong Tebow. Read the story here: Former Gator Tim Tebow gets first win as NFL starter for Denver Broncos | Gainesville.com

I like the Interstate Forecast on Weather.com Here's the link: Interstate Forecast Welcome

Try ebay. There are a lot of trucks similar to what you are looking for on there.

OK guys, since I am a Dolphins fan you are just rubbing salt into my wounds.:mad: The score was 27-17 Miami when I had to run to the grocery store. I come back and discover we lost 34-27. Miami just can't get it together this year. But it is nice to see the Lions coming back, playing hard and...
