    Wal-Mart, and Prescriptions on the Road

    I use the mail order gig for my Januvia. I got my first one filled at Rite Aid and then transferred to Medco so it was filled well before the original ran out. This way I stay 20 pills ahead of the game. I have neighbors who are RV Retirees, they use Walgreen's, and say they have never had a...

    The State of Expediting Today

    When fuel went up 28% in a year's time and carrier pay rates 5%, that was the final straw for Jeffman. On top of everything else that had started happening in the business, this occurence was his See Ya Wouldn't Want To Be Ya moment. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined...

    first Mexican truck into the interior U.S.

    I think the weak link in NAFTA is Mexico. Sorry, but they are a Third World country on a predominantly First World continent. The baloney we were fed that it would "improve" Mexico's standard of living to a level of ours and Canada's was just that: BALONEY. I believe that spin was used to try to...

    Deadhead Home vs. Waiting it Out

    Depends where we were, how long we had been out. His personal experience led him to know if he didn't get a run by 6 pm Monday through Friday or 2 pm Saturday, it was more than likely not going to happen. Only once in the last year did he get a 9 pm call out of Kentucky to Austin, TX. Most...

    Indy Car Driver Dies....

    I turned on the tv to pop over to the Weather Channel, and saw the crash as it happened (the tv was tuned to that channel when I turned it on). Creepy to watch it unfold. Seeing Wheldon's car tarped immediately spoke volumes. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER"...

    Too much information

    If I was the restaurant manager there, I would want to know the whereabouts of the turkey baster at all times from here on out. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

    how much can i make driving a van

    Probably not as much as you think. Alot of threads out here will give you insight into variables of the trade. Hopefully you are not of the "easy money" mindset, like the local party store owner in my town who thought popping out a fleet of 10 vans would be easy cash flow (he had never been...

    What is distracted driving?

    Jeff gets off the road for a few days on Thursday...I am getting him Halo Burger for his dinner that night, but I won't tell him in advance because I don't want him driving distracted for the next 4 days.

    What is distracted driving?

    Jeffman had this happen in his straight truck. He said it disgusted him because of the danger she was creating with her own distraction, she could have hit someone...and little kids in higher profile vehicles could have seen, too. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined...

    What is distracted driving?

    Wow, the forum censor software blocked out the first syllable of a perfectly clean word. Whoever wrote that software is either an uptight prude, has a dirty mind, or did it in a hurry while they were behind the wheel. I found out yesterday driving isn't the only thing that suffers when that...

    And...It's...Over....(for now)

    Yes, BeeKee, it is like team now. Once Jeff got his 50 hours in, Tim (the trainer) could then nap while Jeff drove. Tim has told Jeff he is the best trainee he has had, learns quick and retains; not afraid of the road, traffic, weather, or truck. Tim said if he could, he would let Jeff go solo...

    And...It's...Over....(for now)

    He has over half his training hours done. He has driven the Appalachians and Rockies at night in the rain and wind. He is driving 11 hours a day now. He has been home once because the trainer's wife had a medical emergency. They went back out 2 1/2 weeks ago. They will be back next week for 5...
