Hi Tina, How are you liking being on the truck???????

I love the unsweetened cocoa, it will dissolve if you mix with a tiny bit very hot water then add your milk.

Yeah we never seem to get stuff I would kill to keep like Caramello chocolate bars or cadbury chocolate and when we do there is no damaged boxes

Anyone check out the college football schedules?????

Utah #2, Boise State #11 oh and JJ's team Alabama Crimson Tide #6 in the rankings.

i have a friend that has kids up here. don't know why she moved down there. but it takes her 10 hours roughly. from phoenix. i know when the speed limit was 55 it took us 12 hours to get down there. mom dragged us to a cousins wedding. don't know why though as non mormons aren't allowed inside the temple. it was a wasted weekend drive as far as i'm concerned. plan on roughly 14-15 hours by bus though. i'm sure there be some wee wee stops.


anyone know the company policies on power supplies. roughly?

i ccc some can't have inverters, but what about generators?

i mean, if you can't idle your truck for heat or a/c. and how do you power the microwave?

Being a Lease Op we idled when we wanted!!

Microwave and all that will work on the inverter when the truck isn't going.......Just get the beep beep noise when the batteries were getting low.

With an Apu we don't have that problem now and it only costs $65.00 a week
