    Safety at Home

    I posted this on the General forum for truckers in jest, but there may be some of you reading this that are genuinely interested in getting one of these for your home. http://www.qsleeper.com

    Sleeping with one eye open? Try this!!!

    Not sure that this would fit in a cargo van, but the straight truck crowd should be able to figure out how to retrofit their sleepers for a good night's (or good day's) sleep. http://www.qsleeper.com

    Did you noticed America was shut down today?

    I thought that this was worth sharing with people whom I know will appreciate it. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is...

    Any one missing a P2 truck?

    Odd that you should mention the chicken...that's what got my friend. I'm surprised the boxes and buckets aren't required to bear a government warning label stating "Danger - Contents may become cold, and if eaten alone, may result in choking or death." I don't mean to make light of a serious...

    Handicapped drivers

    Double thanks, Jeff... first, for posting the link so folks who have joined the site in the past five years could view it without searching the archives; and second, for doing the story in the first place - it was a good, relavent piece of journalism then, and still is today. It's so easy...

    Check out this van...

    Well, friends, the e-bay auction just ended...in the last seven minutes the bids went from $14,500 to the selling price of $15,600. I was just up late lurking on the site and knew that some of you who were interested were probably running hard and couldn't check the final minutes of the...

    Any one missing a P2 truck?

    Please follow Dave's advice...I have two personal experiences with driver's who died in their trucks...one was a fellow church member who choked to death while eating in his sleeper...the other was when my fire department was called (with our breathing apparatus) to remove a driver from the cab...

    haz mat clean up

    It's not an inflatable kiddie pool, so you won't be embarrased (or delayed) in having to blow it up before you put it into action. The sidewalls are made of a semi-rigid material which is flexible enough to be rolled up, but strong enough to stand up on it's own once the liquid it captures...

    haz mat clean up

    Retired fire chief checking in here...it's a great idea to carry your own absorbent, but straw is bulky and kitty litter is heavy. There is something even better that we carried on all of our fire apparatus and staff cars. A collapsable "pool". They are available in different sizes (10 and 30...

    WALMART

    It seems as if any city denoted on a map as 5,000 population or more should have one. I can drive 5-15 minutes North, South, East, or West and be at a Wal-Mart, and they just announced they are building one less than a minute from my house. In three of the existing locations, they have already...

    Driver wanted/available ads...

    Dave, Would you be willing to throw out a range of take-home income for a hard-working h/w team (out 48 weeks a year) running for an owner under the current industry-standard arrangement in a C or D unit? Thanks "99% of life is showing up on time."

    Driver wanted/available ads...

    From Dec. 1 through today (Dec. 13) there were 19 "Team Wanted" ads placed compared to 4 "Team Available" ads for the same period. But here's what I found really interesting. The "Team Wanted" ads had 1641 views, but only 7 (that's right, SEVEN)replies. The "Team Available" ads had 325 views...

    GPS Question

    I bought the M/S S&T 2005 GPS version for $139.00, and it came with the GPS sensor. I use it daily and it's a big help...you can figure your distance/time to destination from your current location...the best thing is that you can see almost instantly if you miss a turn, but if you monitor it as...

    Newbies and the truck search

    RE: Rich, Your right, the fridge and microwave won't make any money, but they can allow the driver(s) to save a lot of money on the road. A 25 cent can of soup heated in the truck beats a $3.99 bowl of soup heated in a restaurant's microwave, and a 50 cent bottled water from the truck fridge...
