    Flying J TAB Account

    I used Flying J Tab account for a little while. I didn't like it at all. I opened the account, then had to wait almost a week before they would give me a temporary card so I could get paid...then it expired within 3 weeks and I was told I couldn't get another one and they would mail the...

    team utilized?

    I know that teams in straight trucks don't run the same amount of miles as big truck drivers do for regular companies that aren't expedite. We just make pretty much the same amount for running half the miles. (we aren't owners, so we don't make more.) Some weeks you make more, some less, but I...

    Ladies I need your help

    I would actually prefer all those things that don't really require money. They mean so much more.

    Ladies I need your help

    Those are all such good suggestions. What kind of woman wouldn't be happy if her husband wrote her a love note, or the list that was mentioned. Making something for dinner, just being romantic in general.

    New Bees, & I am ready

    I feel very fortunate to be my age and have seen every major city in all 48 states, and a lot of Canada. One thing I can say, is that no matter how many times I see things, they don't get old to me. I always see something new in them. I appreciate this world that God gave us to see. I love...

    Best Starbucks Ever

    Lol....I don't even drink coffee. I was referring to the fact that we had just walked in the heat 5 miles, and that water that I got at Starbucks was just about the most exhilirating water I'd had that whole day. Filtered and wonderful, and enough to give me the energy to walk the other 5...

    The other side of truckstops

    We stopped at a Sinclair in North Dakota...I think it's Jamestown, but I'm not sure. The truck stop is pretty much like a gas station, but the restaraunt is great. It doesn't look like anything special, but its the first time I've had a steak at a restaraunt that was as good as home...

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    I understand completely what you mean about some of the people moving, not working, living off of the government. I live in Houston, and our crime rate went up, the motels and apartments were flooded with people and a year and a half later, they still didn't have jobs or start over, etc...but...

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    I hope it doesn't hit because there are some people who have worked really hard and spent their own money fixing their homes, and it would be a shame to see that ruined. You can't judge the entire city of people on what most of them do. Do you like being treated poorly by the public because...

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    ATeam...I was not referring to you at all. Hope you didn't take it that way. I just meant that almost all the threads lately seem to be "liberals caused this, hope they don't win...etc..." when it doesn't even have anything to do with the thread. In this case...maybe it does, but there's just...

    Crazy

    From our experience, we live in Houston, and we get really good loads out of there....with one exception. Most of the time those loads are from Wednesday through Friday. Our loads out have always pretty much been the later part of the week. We get loads going to Pennsylvania, sometimes...

    GPS for trucks...

    Usually between the Gps, the map, and the company directions...we always make it...lol. I like having the Gps because when night driving or driving through thick fog, it just helps with anticipating the curves and what direction the road goes. I like it. I do wish that Teletype wasn't...

    Lining up two by two

    God promised he would never flood the earth again....but he didn't mention how close he could come to it though...lol. I bet some people are itching to see that rainbow.

    TS/Hurricane Gustav; This is NOT Good

    That wouldn't be good. My Aunt and Uncle just got finished rebuilding their home in New Orleans from Katrina. Would be kinda bad to have it get messed up again. It looks crazy down there. When are the political remarks ever going to stop? It's just kind of annoying because I like coming...

    Best Starbucks Ever

    If you like to walk, I have one for you. We're at the Sapp Bros. in Salt Lake City. We decided to go on a walk to downtown because there are sidewalks everywhere. We took a right out of the truckstop, and about a mile down, there is a bridge and on both sides a trail. Why not? We followed...

    I hate the word Diet!

    It is all up to the drivers. The healthy choices are there, and sometimes it is not always convenient, but it's what you choose to do and what you want out of it. The food at fast food places and restaraunts is not good for you. Way too many calories, very high sodium, and even the things you...

I have some Bose headphones so...

    1. GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE - Who are these guys anyway? The Electoral College was set up by our forefathers as a convenient way of reversing the popular votes of earlier immigrant settlers who were in lots of cases indentured servants and laborers. They were not to be trusted with...
