    Something to THINK About

    I would love to give credit to the original writer for this statement, yet I have no idea who it is. Anyway, it is not my statement, but I felt that it is something I should post… The average OTR driver is asked to stay out 14 days for 2 days off at home, with […]

    The Stupidity of Some People’s Driving Habits

    I was driving west on I-40 near Wheatley, AR and a driver was driving in the passing lane. A lot of drivers believe (falsely) that it is also a travel lane (it is NOT). So, I’m doing about 72 MPH in the travel lane (right lane) and I’m approaching this car on the right. I […]
