    Whites turning Gray!

    How does your wife use the hydrogen peroxide? Add it to the water or soak the socks? Now how the heck do you use that nasty stuff to whiten your teeth? You know I really like whites so I hate to get rid of them in the truck so all of the suggestions are very helpful and appreciated.

    Business Minded or just a Job?

    Well I have several replies to this. We have met both Broom and the Colonel and they BELIEVE me are not the same person! Everyone does get into this business for a different reason and to many it is just a job. I cannot imagine how miserable this business would be if this was just a job...

    Winter and Chains!

    Colorado has different levels and depending on the level what you can get away with. At the highest level you have to have chains so we just ordered a set for the X-Ones. We have not really checked but I am afraid you are not going to be able to just pick them up anywhere. 76 pounds for a pair!

    How I saved a Bundle.........

    Boy if you didn't say a mouthful! You are so right about what you have said. We work in a field that changes often and as business owners we have to stay in the know. I have often wondered how anyone has time to stay in the truck stop for hours and play games. GREAT POST

    Winter and Chains!
