I was watching the Great Cake Off on Food TV. A contestant in New Jersey needed to get her undecorated cake to the competition in Atlanta. She packed it very carefully and shipped it to the location. When it arrived the box was crushed on one corner and had been opened. The box had Fragile...

I just wear my special Christmas slippers!

Dear Ladies, As all of you know, freight has been slow this year therefore it is somewhat embarrassing to admit Christmas is tight this year. I will be making bedroom slippers for you all as gifts. Please let me know your sizes. You'll most likely agree that it's a splendid idea, and should...

Ah hem.....we did get a decrease in our insurance. I'm now able to save $50 a month. That should make up for something shouldn't it?

A quoram can be one person. Just depends on how many voices he hears in his head!:+

We have been in those mines in our D unit and wondered just how crazy it wpuld be to drive a tractor trailer in that maze. Glad to hear you got out!

In addition to Terry's time saver, the best space saver is the bladeless knife without a handle.:+

Another atta boy from us Terry and Rene! You time and dedication to the industry are much appreciated. You have always been informative and helpful. But we have to ask if the Council discussed the new contract regarding the FSC before it was implemented?

I share your aggravation. I do agree with Leo that all businesses and even private residences whould have to display their street address just the way many municipalities require the 911 adddress to be displayed. These posts bring to mind the time we drove up and down a road looking for a...

Good luck Carol but by no means be a stranger. Some day one of us may want to drive a big truck and need your help. Don't forget us!

On I-59 exit 51 in Mississippi there are about 1000 FEMA trailers sitting in a field. They are lined up at attention as if they are waiting for an assignment. One would think FEMA would clean them up and sell some of them to try to recapture their funds. Just a thought.

We were sitting in Houston on Saturday waiting to pick up at 4pm. I flip the TV channels around and find the movie Convoy on TMC (boy that makes you fel old). Aside from the fashion statement of the time, the lack of technology, the outdated trucks and poor acting the issues of trucking...

In another section of the Idling Guidelines I found a sub section that allows a diesel engine to idle for the warmth and comfort of the driver when the temperature remains at a constant 25 degrees. Wow that's cold!

Sharing tips like this is what make this forum so valuable. Thanks for the suggestions!

I agree that a dispatcher ride along can be a good thing. But, I would never want a dispatcher riding with me. Our truck is our home. It's where you can pick your nose and scratch your butt when and where you want. On the other hand, as far as the dispatchers' job, I know I couldn't and...
