My Personal Mechanic Every year it happens. Every year around this time, all you hear when you walk into a truck stop a day or two before CVSA's annual event is all the chatter going on about the big DOT 72 hour road check.... For my readers who are not truckers I will explain a bit more. Every year the CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance) holds a 72 hour crack down on big trucks checking log books, doing inspections on trucks, and the drivers themselves. You can read about how they say they save lives and avoid

Are you anywhere close? I've had enough of winter

Buck Up Women!

Maybe I just don't put up with much shit. Maybe I'm stronger than most. Maybe I just have to do things my way. Maybe my mother and father taught me that life wasn't handed to you on a silver platter, and trust me I asked for that a lot. So I started to watch this youtube video and about 2 minutes into it I wanted to poke my eyes out...
