		<description><![CDATA[The cold, dark winter months can really affect you. Mood changes, depression and weight gain are very common because people dole out the comfort foods and cut back on activities to cope with dreary, shorter days. But those making an effort to keep healthy and fit should not change their focus due to the season &#8212; we all still need to exercise and eat properly year round. In fact, exercise helps you deal with the mood swings that often come with the season.Most people who exercise in the w&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are three fundamental factors that affect a vehicle&#8217;s fuel consumption: the vehicle, driving conditions &#8212; which are outside the control of driver and vehicle &#8212; and driver operation. Believing myself to be a fuel-conscious driver, I was excited by the opportunity to participate in an Isuzu Motors Ecology and Economy Drive program at the manufacturer&#8217;s Wacom proving grounds in Hokkaido, Japan. The event was designed to demonstrate that focusing on specific, key driv&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was getting divorced and had two children to take care of. At the time I drove a school bus, and my soon-to-be-ex husband used to say that if I could drive a bus I could handle a truck. So I called up a training academy to learn how to drive a truck. I even held myself back an extra week before graduating because I didn&#8217;t feel completely confident with my skills yet. I met an owner-operator when I had just completed training, and hired on to share his runs between Maryland and Delaware t&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trucking is often a husband and wife enterprise, requiring the full dedication of both to make it a success &#8212; whether they drive team or one&#8217;s on the road and the other home. As any trucker will attest, the truck decides everything: when you&#8217;ll be home, when you have to leave again, whether you have money for the long-awaited vacation or the vacation becomes a new transmission. Trucking takes marriage to a whole new level.One driving, one at homeGail and Paul Morrison have do&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that draws folks into trucking is the desire for independence &#8212; and there is no greater independence for truckers than rolling down a highway with wide-open spaces and blue sky in their windshields. This same drive makes truckers want more than just the independence of the open road. They&#8217;re looking for financial independence, a means to support their families and themselves to improve their lives. In order to accomplish this they must become managers of that rolling offi&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a misconception in the trucking industry that says: &#8220;The only thing that counts is how much money I&#8217;m making per mile.&#8221; If you measure the health of your financial life by what you&#8217;re making per mile, the questions are: &#8220;Do you have the required funds in the bank for the expected and the unexpected? Are you consistently able to send the required dollars to the house?&#8221; Most truckers who look at how much they&#8217;re making a mile as the most im&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can remember when trucking was as much a lifestyle as a business; maybe more so. Showing off your truck and getting bragging rights at the drivers-only counter meant everything. Chrome and lights and how fast you got here from there seemed to be all that mattered. In this very difficult economy, their place in the priority list has fallen way behind the simple need to survive. Trucking is, first and foremost, a business, and everything must be evaluated for its impact on the proverbial botto&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever seen a carpenter try to cut a board with a dull saw? Have you ever seen a farmer try to plow a field with only half of his tractor&#8217;s cylinders firing? Like many tasks, these can be accomplished, but not with the speed or efficiency one would hope for. The same thing holds true in trucking. You can get by (at least for a while) letting your maintenance practices slide, but sooner or later, it will catch up with you. How many trucks have you seen on the road with large areas &#8230;]]></description>
