    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...

    Barstow, CA - This would not be listed as one of our favorite ATF's but it is at least in the area! The parking is pretty good for a small truck (C or D) and there is a Von grocery store across the street with lots of parking. The equipment is in good condition. It isn't the cleanest ATF we...

    Report 5-hour energy drinks linked to several deaths

    Thanks Turtle, I missed that thread somehow. You might want to just combine my comments into the other thread so we won't have two threads on this. I appreciate your comments/insight into this. I agree that resting and eating healthy are the most important things for our well being. In our...

    Report 5-hour energy drinks linked to several deaths

    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...

    Texarkana, AR - Going West it is just past the Flying J on I30. There is not room for big trucks but C or D units will have plenty of parking. Nice, clean facility with showers.

    Driver First Aid

    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...

    AnyTime Fitness Thread

    We just joined so we are not able to get into gyms in "off hours" except our own gym where we joined. It is REALLY nice! It is located off I-64 (ext 136) at Zion Crossroads between Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. The owner said she would certainly welcome other members to use the equipment...

    Dallas Mosquitoes

    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...

    Gyms and Health Clubs

    We are really interested in joining one of these fitness clubs. I searched the internet and there are so many choices and it is confusing. It looks like Anytime Fitness might be a good option since they have so many locations and we are all over the place. I would hate, though, to invest the...

    Mass Turnpike Parking Ripoff

    Unbelievable! Inconceivable! Do you think this would be a ticket worth fighting? I agree that the chock you might use would probably be gone the next morning. What a ripoff!! Sorry this happened to you. You don't deserve this treatment!!

    Find your own HazMat Routing

    Oh my goodness Greg! That is scary!! I was sooooo hoping this would be a good solution for us but we certainly can't take a chance and get off on a bad route. I think three tests routes that you use all the time is about the best test we can do with this. Sigh! Back to the drawing board...

    Find your own HazMat Routing

    It appears we have finally found a link that will give us HazMat routing by entering the p/u and del addresses. I'm not sure it can always find the two addresses but it looks like it might work most of the time. Will some of you try it and see what you find? This MAY be the solution we have...
