A "first place" win at next year's National Falcon Club meet. A "my choice" vacation next summer,if it doesn't include sand,water and sun,I'm don't want to go.

I remember the 1st.time I saw Hoover Dam, it was back in the mid-1990's.I was so excited that I was hanging out that passenger window, just a regular old tourist...keeping a running comment for my husband as he was trying to drive and trying to see what I was talking about. As a "country girl"...

Just the thought of "Spring" without the cold and snow makes me happy. Has anyone came up with a sure-fire way of cleaning overhead without killing themselves? I use a swiffer (with long handle) to keep it dusted but sure would like to do some good old-fashioned scrubbing up there.

A couple of weeks ago,we stopped at a rest area in Tx. I always try to avoid the people who are looking for hand-outs. Sure enough,parked close to the restrooms was a broken-down car with a couple and three children. They explained that their car had broken down and just needed enough money to...

I sometimes wonder where I am...its the fun of going to sleep in one place and waking up in another one.I'm waiting and praying for spring and if I never ever see another snowflake it will be too soon.

Thanks for all the advice,it was needed and welcommed. I did go to the doctor after we returned home,nothing serious,thank goodness. I was told to walk more and to avoid tight fitting garments...leave the colas alone and drink lots more water. Most of all, to avoid salt,or at least as much as I...

Last Monday night in Chattanooga,TN on Highway 153,a young girl of 18 lost her life. According to witnesses,she was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic and ran directly into the back end of a truck that was sitting at a red light..BUT...the trucker has been...

Thanks so much,I will check with the doctor when we come home for the holidays. I am no wearing the Nikes while driving,so maybe that will help...and will try stopping a bit more often to get out and stretch my legs.

For some strange reason for the past few weeks, I have been getting leg cramps and my feet are swelling after just a few hours of driving. Does anyone have a solution that I can try? For the one who said "life begins at 40" well,I really owe him one.It has been a downhill slide ever since.x(

I remember packing just like I was going on a long vacation,in 1 location.Since I had never did alot of traveling,I didn't understand that it could be 70 degrees in one state and 40 degrees in another.Lets just say,I learned a very valuable lesson: Pack for all seasons. I hate to admit this: I...

Since most of us have had other careers and even now as expediters,we enjoy getting out of our trucks.What was the very best vacation you ever remember taking? My best one is taking our motorcycle in 1993 and heading out with no idea of where we really wanted to go.We just rode west and stopped...

Not only do I have bags under my eyes,but everything is beginning to droop and sag. Not thats its doing any good but I keep body lotion constantly on hand.I also try to work in a regular face scrub 2 or 3 times a week. H-E-L-P...any suggestions?

We stopped last week at a Cracker Barrel to eat lunch.We parked in a area that did not hinder the flow of traffic.After we finished lunch,I decided to go to the Ladies Room and there were several women in there.One lady(?) and I use the term very loosely,she asked if I enjoyed driving the...

I would like to invite anyone who is in the area of: Adam's Mark Hotel 2544 Executive Drive Indianapolis,IN between July 20-22 to please come by and see the Falcon Show cars.We are expecting well over 300 cars,and special cars..Wild Child and Daddy Warbucks will be there. Our Falcon will be in...

I started out driving for Caliber with a 53ft.trailer and its amazing how often my front end could nearly meet my backend while trying to back.So for peace and harmony my husband does the backing..I'm a bit better in a straight truck,but not by much.So I do all the paperwork in exchange for his...

After 38 years of marriage and 6 1/2 years on driving together, I have found NO subject of conversation to be safe all the time. Since my husband is finishing up the final touches on the Ford Falcon for the car show in July...I can keep him talking for hours about that car..but there are moments...

When we first got started in the trucking industry,we drove for Caliber out of NC. Most of our loads were from GlaxoWelcome and we were told to never give any details about our loads. So I guess that has carried over into the expediting life,if asked I simply reply...after we drop this...

Some of my best memories are of my husband and our 4 daughters.He was guest of honor at so many tea parties,the entire fan club for their years of playing ball. The years of patiently baiting their hooks for fishing,and the girls crying that he was hurting the worms or minnows.So he made a trip...

Now my feelings are really hurt.One bounce and I was out.:-(

When we decided to leave regular trucking for expediting,I contacted Roberts Express(FedEx CC)and the lady in recruiting handpicked 5 O/O's for us to contact.After many phone calls and face-to-face meetings we decided on the owner that we stayed with for 4 1/2 years.She treated us with...
