We have been using Stevia for years also.

When the new HOS rules came out I made a couple of snarky comments. I didn't think the 30 minute break would really effect us. It doesn't if we have an ordinary load. But then we started getting government Dual Driver Protection loads. A driver has to be on duty with the load at all times...

I have cooked pork roast on the rack. Grease just ended up on tray below. The roast was great and because it wasn't over greasy the cleanup was easy. I usually cook roasts in crock pot. I use a liner in that so clean up is easy! I have been using some disposable foil pans also. With...

A couple of days ago with snow on interstate we came to a slow crawl. A big truck had jack knifed. Driver was ok. Everyone was able to squeeze by him to continue on. As soon as we got past him big trucks went flying by us. We will never understand the mentality that the road conditions don't...

Since we are on a lower carb diet we do not count calories. Sometimes our salads probably have really high calories. We include boiled eggs, cheese, meat and avacados. I also try to get a variety of greens and non starchy veggies. We get really excited about avacados. They must be in...

Missie is nick name my mother gave me when I was a little girl. 600 was one of our previous addresses. This is very interesting. I have been curious about a few of your names!

Update! We got new truck and due to bigger fridge and more ways to cook we have been able to follow a wheat free diet more diligently. We have also given up sugar and starchy veggies. I got the wheat belly cook book and am experimenting with making different breads, muffins, biscuits, etc with...

I have the nuwave cooktop and love it! We also have the convection oven/microwave, small crockpot, and an electric skillet. Since we got the new truck I have been cooking most of our food. I usually cook a lot when we have a day off and put it in fridge for the week. I have seen the oven but...

Check out Feb 3 Spotlight. We finally got our new truck! We are very happy :) Expediter Services : Expediter Spotlight : Spotlighting Expediters & the Industry

I have read the book and I have also read quite a few articles that support the claims in the book. There is another book out called Grain Brain. I am watching my wheat intake but not fully gluten free. We are in a truck without a microwave and tiny fridge so things have been tough. We...

Gary and I have just done this. We are using our daughter's address and splitting our home time between a few relatives and hotels. No one minds you staying for few days. We have promised to do some babysitting while home. New grand baby on the way so I am delirious with excitement! We sold...

I am the night driver on our team. I have always been a night owl. Gary and I began our careers driving tractor trailers for US Xpress about 10 years ago. We found out within the first couple of months that drivers get jerked around. But we also wanted to keep driving. So we made a decision...

We have friends who drive regional terminal to terminal who may have to do several pretrip inspections in one shift due to switching trailers. The 30 min break rule does effect them in a bad way. I understand their frustration. I do, however, believe many are over thinking this.

I know that! My husband will dock my pay now! Shhhh.....

I did! It was the packaged kind.

We just came back since the end of June. We moved from PA to TN. Last night was my first night to drive this month. After about 4 hours I decided it was time for "the 30 minute break". I pulled through the fuel island and went inside to use the restroom and also got some oatmeal. I prefer...

WOW! I really think you guys are making a big deal out of nothing! During a 10-11 drive I will generally stop once or twice for a bathroom break and get coffee. Sometimes I just need to get out of the truck because I am feeling drowsy. If it is daylight, I might walk at a rest area. This...

TeamCaffee who do you use for your embroidery. Is it local or via Internet?

At home drinking a glass of wine! But don't think for a minute that this has been a fun trip home! We are getting ready to list our home for sale. We have been painting, cleaning carpets, spreading mulch. We are both tired and sore. Need to get back to work to get some rest. My back hurts...

We use Loves exclusively so that we can get 1,000 gallons for the month and then we have Platinum status. The following month you get free showers and free drink refills. Most of the Loves have upgraded showers. When we are going to end up somewhere that Loves is not, we wait to fuel there...
