Many of you have seen our 2010 Refrigerated Van posted in the classified section and have asked us what is going on. I thought this might be a better way to let everyone know what we are doing. We are selling the van and finally retiring! My husband is a cancer survivor and we have decided we...

I was shocked recently to see the Walmart stores in the Austin, TX area no longer have bags at the registers! Shoppers can purchase cloth bags but if you do not purchase the bags you just have all your groceries and supplies in the cart! I had to empty the frozen food, veggies, fruit &...

Those of you who are new with the company need to be aware to regularly check your status when you are sitting between loads. Here is our story and it is not the first time it has happened to us: We delivered an early morning load and decided to stay in the area. We noticed a TVAL lock on our...

Hey! Let's talk about scanners! Wonder if those of us who already have the little "Neat Receipt" scanners will be able to use them or will the company now require us to purchase yet another piece of equipment we already own. Any thoughts?

3 killed in 75-vehicle pileup at Virginia-NC line ​Any of our fellow expediters involved in this accident? Everyone okay? This is a dangerous (foggy) area and 75 vehicles were involved.

I recently lost my speed dial numbers when I updated my phone! GRRRR! So, I have added the speed dial numbers back but one of them was something that I can't seem to add again. When we call in to our 800 number we have to enter our security code, then the pass code, then the dispatch number...

Ingress is still in Beta but it looks like it is going to be an amazing thing to do while on layover in towns all over the US. Looks like Google is doing it right so far.

The Florida Strawberry Festival starts very soon. That means this is THE best time of year to get those wonderful, sweet Florida strawberries. It seems a little strange in the midst of snow/ice to be getting great strawberries but this is the time of year so don't miss out! When I was a...

This is probably an idea you will have to make next time you are home since you may not have the bowls in your sleeper. Purchase a package of cubed cheese (we like sharp but any cheese will do). Using those little glass bowls (spray with PAM) place two cubes in the bowl. You can cook four...

A few years ago I mentioned about a problem in the sleeper with really dry feet. I found that the inexpensive little slippers in the pharmacy of WalMart really help this problem. While I was purchasing some (in Christmas colors) today it reminded me that we have a lot of new ladies on EO that...

Anyone using the internet app on CLink? We were told it would only connect at a TA. It does connect but we were also told it would automatically log in and it will not. We have tried using our log in IDs and we have even tried leaving it blank but it will not log in. Have any of you used...

Here is a link to an article about 5-Hour Drinks: 5-hour Energy CEO denies reports his drink linked to deaths, says This may turn out to be nothing since it is "being investigated." Frank and I always keep these in the van and we use them when we are on overnight loads or loads we need to stay...

Hey, ChefDennis, you haven't shared your amazing meals with us lately. It is time! We have winter coming and we need ideas! My husband and I are passing through Memphis so we plan to go by Corky's and get some bar-b-que to take with us (one of your great ideas- never pass up good barbque)...

Does anyone have the 800 number for QualComm? I think ours needs to be re-set. The navigation is not loading at all - not that it is THAT great but still...

We are traveling through the Pennsylvania mountains today and WOW! The colors of leaves are already spectacular, promising a gorgeous Fall! Around every curve is another amazing sight! The scripture says the leaves clap their hands with joy unto the Lord and I believe this is referring to...

It's "Talk like a pirate day!" Argh!

We stopped to fuel at a truck stop yesterday and had a frightening experience. As I was pulling out, I checked to see if any trucks were pulling away from the fuel island. Two drivers had just fueled and pulled forward. One of the drivers had his door open but he was on the ground! A couple...

Black grapes are back at Sam's Club! If you haven't tried these amazing grapes it will be a great time to try them now. Like cherries, they are only in the stores at certain times of the year. Someone from CA could probably tell us the times of the year you can get these. Last year we...

Occasionally we need to print something. The load we are currently on requires us to print a form before we arrive at the pick up. Since we have moved into a van our weight and space is limited so we no longer carry a printer. We have saved the form on a flash drive but do any of you have...

If you are planning to go to the truck show in Dallas be sure you take plenty of "OFF" repellent and a good quality flying insect spray for your sleeper. They are having a major problem with mosquitoes in the Dallas area this summer. They are using planes to spray the area but so far a number...
