The Rice Cooker does MUCH more that cool rice. I have had the same Rice Cooker for 5 years and it gets drug out of the cabinet almost everyday to be used. I have cooked steamed rice in it maybe twice... Once with disastrous results to much rice and not enough water. I now know the meaning of...

Has anyone tried the Bose Bluetooth Headset? I know of one truck driver using the headset for the past two months and he is still thrilled with it. He is able to use the head set in the truck while driving and also get out of the truck and not look like a total dork. I would like to use the...

That is on at a horrible time I slept through it as well. Sounds like you guys all did an awesome job. Thanks Maniac for letting everyone know. See you at the Expo!

I wish you luck at LEA we know a few couples over there in dry boxes who are doing very well and really like the system.

You can buy cheap headsets and buy several a year or buy a good headset such as the Blue Parror that will last several years

We have the loads that come in the middle of thenight with an ASAP pickup pay really well. The office does not recognize time zones and offer loads first thing in the morning to trucks in California which is frustrating.

Each time I scan I have to change type to receipts. Is there a way to change this in the setting. I scan many more receipts than documents. I am still learning about the scanner.

I also purchased this at the first of the year. The tip on multi page scanning is a great one. I have started scanning all of our BOL's and some of them are several pages. I look forward to trying this hint. The scanner is super easy to use and I really like being able to scan in a PDF...

How many WG loads do you haul? As long as you are not WG now there are not that many loads you will not be able to do. It seems as if it is mostly the reefer loads that do not allow pets on their property. If you take the dog call your CC and have them add a note to your information. We...

We used the Air Tabs on our old truck for six years and they were one of the first things we added to our new truck. This is a really good article on why to use Air Tabs: An Expediter and his AirTabs

You are right Greg in many aspects. Drivers are able to stay in their trucks and call home, chat with family and friends on the computer and generally stay in touch with loved ones. The bigger sleepers also make it easier to cook in the truck, watch TV in the truck, and generally be very...

I do not think camaraderie is dead and Henry has written a blog about about this subject. Camaraderie has changed with the advent of cell phones. No longer do we walk into a truck stop starved for conversation. When it is need it is alive and well. We have had many instances where another...

Lawrence I believe that was before QC? I have heard HORROR stories of being caught standing in rain storms calling in to FCC to update your position. I have heard stories of sitting inside guarding a pay phone waiting on a call for a dispatch. I have heard of waitresses being paid to get the...

I am reading about the doom and gloom and I think wow everything is really really really bad.... We came through one of the worst economic times to happen in the trucking industry and we are still surviving. I step back away from the doom and gloom and look at my spreadsheets, our...

Exactly we cannot stop change and so we have to change with the changes

I keep hearing the phrase we need to go back to the way it was... I keep thinking back through my life and wondering when was everything perfect? When was there not a time that I wanted to improve something. I would like to know if anyone knows when was the perfect time in Expediting?

The holes in wheels are called Hand Holes or Access Holes to get to the Valve stem and another reason is to make the wheel lighter. The holes having nothing to do with cooling. Black actually dissipates heat better than white. Not many people like black wheels with a black tire. A...

Yes that load more than meet my expenses and puts money in my pocket. That is a good run not a great run.

You are right Phil I am wrong we look at the Qualcomm the same way. We see the same screen no difference. Thank you for pointing this out.

Phil have you ever thought that maybe we as a dry box look at loads different than you do as a T-Val unit?
