If all of the expediters would use channel 29 we would leave our CB on. Now the only time the CB comes on is if the road is blocked and then just to find out what the problem is and off it goes.

Another item to keep on hand it sugar free gum. I still chew gum when driving and I need something to do. It has always helped.

Good Luck to you guys. Quitting smoking had to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! Never again will I go through that so that is my incentive to never start again. I felt like I was giving up my best friend even though the smoking was slowly killing me. Now 10 years later I do...

TerryandRene' you must be on the wrong channel as I keep calling you and you wont answer. Are you sure you are on 29?

We have really been SLACKING!! Set out this year to eat more vegetables and fruit. Less sugar and less at food at meals. Also wanted to get the walking going but as this job goes we have been running really well. We have also been in lots of rain, no snow thank god. I also while driving try...

We have had our Rig Master generator for two years. Our generator is the version with the heat/cool sensor and also the battery monitor. We set our thermostat to monitor our batteries all of the time and then we set the thermostat to come on when the truck gets to cold or to hot. We have over...

We have a home inventory program that we use to keep a list of where we purchase items and the purchase cost and date purchased what a picture. Our truck insurance told us they cover all items such as straps, load locks, pallet jack and other items. All personal items are covered by our...

We check the value of our truck with the dealer we bought it from about ever 6 months. We then update our insurance carrier of our new market value. This is one of the hidden ways for us to save money. Our insurance will only pay market value of the truck. You will find if you purchased your...

I thought of something else that works well. When I am at home and have left over spaghetti I put enough noodles and sauce for one serving in a freezer bad and freeze that. That reheats very easy. I have started flattening all of my bags so when I put them in the truck freezer it looks like a...

I have tried using the microwave and those rice and noodle cookers and that took forever. I use my rice cooker now and it works great and pretty fast. The rice cooker can be used for many things the other day I made home made butterscotch pudding in it. I have I believe a 2 quart cooker so I...

The Federal Government has deemed in their infinite wisdom that you have to be in the sleeper getting your 10 hours of rest. If you are in the cab you are to log legally on duty not driving!

Falconlady13 Thanks so much for you update. We all really need to live by those rules and try to be healthier in and easy to be unhealthy job. So glad you are fine and a few small things will improve your heath.

If you are not on duty, do not be in the front seat going through a scale. We have never had any trouble and while Bob drove for USXpress I never left the front seat. I was just a passenger at that time and even when we would have a level 1 inspection I was never asked any questions. We have...

Dave if you are going to recruit for Panther shouldn't you do that in the recruiters forum and not on a FedEx post? This post is on our new QualComm screens and how nice they are.

You need to get a return of more then 3% or 4% to stay ahead. We have a savings account paying 5.05% https://www.emigrantdirect.com/EmigrantDirectWeb/index.jsp If you invest in good long term mutual funds for the long run I think 8 to 10% is possible. You need a good retirement plan in place...

We also found about the same results using either fuel additives but found we could get the Power Service in case quantities cheaper.

We have decided to use a financial planner and he recommends that you use a yield of 10% So, lets make monthly deposits of $2000 which yield a healthier 10%. Our frugal couple will have amassed $1,000,000 in 17 years. But due to an estimated 3% inflation, their $1,000,000 will be worth only...

We have spent more then an hour at times just waiting to take a shower at a Pilot and our truck is always where we left it. I also think some more details are needed. We do have to agree with Bruno on the fuel we have questioned our fuel mileage more then once after fueling there. But they do...
