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...

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

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...

Of course I know that men are gonna comment...just because they can't resist! OMG ladies! I am having crazy hot flashes and night sweats. I refuse to take prescription meds. Do any of you know of anything that will help besides soy and black cohash? It's getting worse. My poor hubby has...

We recently started wearing our uniforms full time. It makes things a little more simpler. We do have "civilian" clothes in case we take off. We used to just throw on our uniform shirts for picking up and delivering. When in uniform these things happen: Servers at restaurants ask if we...

Last week we were in the Boondocks cafe/diner in northern Iowa. A fellow driver sat near us and struck up a conversation. He was an older man. Tall with a scruffy long beard. He had hair growing out the end of his nose and his hands were grease stained. I must admit that normally I would...

Do any of you wear the button down short sleeve (called shirt jack on order form)? Gary and I have one each. They only have FedEx (no CC) on them. Haven't worn them yet, but seem like they would be more cooler in the summer. :confused:

We are home and I was outside visiting with a neighbor when I felt something wet hit my head. Sure enough, it was bird poop! The neighbors told me that means I will have good luck for a year! Sounds like "crap" to me, but what the heck? It's about darn time I have some good luck!

We have been away from home since December! Not by choice. Home....feel like kneeling down and kissing the floor...but I won't, it is dusty! We have had crazy bad luck. Didn't want to burden you guys with details of the breakdowns and fun times at the Lucky Club. Just know....we are...

I just looked into using the Extranet and I can sign in okay and get to the main page, but if I want to click on another page it asks for my username, password again and then won't accept it. Frustrating! Any advice. :mad:

We are home for a few days (more major repairs on Titanic) and I am trying to rearrange a few things on the truck. First getting winter clothes on board and wondering if any of you have some clever ideas of how to store items. Or even how to multitask a space or item. I have a basket that...

Delivered in Miami on Friday morning. Took a short load up to Orlando Friday afternoon. Still sitting in Orlando Tuesday night. We did spend the weekend in a hotel since we knew there wouldn't be any freight during that time. I hate being in an area that is not truck friendly. No...

Look what I found at Flying J!

I wanted to feel that power so I got a "husband beater" t-shirt! Gary got a kick out of this! We think we have the A/C repaired. We finally got home after 10 weeks out and got our local repair shop to look at it. Gary did a few things to get the blower in the sleeper to be stronger and they...

I love, love, love to see you guys correct someone who has bad grammar, spelling or punctuation! And you are so snarky when you do it!! :cool: This is a constant on this forum and it makes me smile every day! Thanks! Michelle

Where do you guys in straight trucks park? We are in Columbus, GA. There aren't any truck stops here. We have been at the mall since 6 am. Security already made us move and told us not to park here over night. They were nice about it. We went to a Walmart last night and it was not in a...

Our air conditioner hasn't been working in our truck. My husband decided to get some tank top undershirts that we call "wife beaters" (it makes me wince). That way he could take off his shirt while driving and just wear the undershirt since it is so hot. Now he thinks he has special...

We just started with FDCC in June and have been on the road for a few weeks now. Just wondering how hard it is to get home when you need to be there? In orientation it sounded like it was luck of the draw!!:confused:
