Facebook

It’s a  little addicting with all of the application possibilities. I’m not sure how much gets back to the people that have listed me as a friend, but all the updates and changes will settle down soon. You can add all of your other social networks to Facebook. I can add this blog so updates will show on my Facebook page. Updates on our Flickr pictures and Youtube videos. I can even add Del.icio.us and Stumble bookmarks and many more. That’s a lot of stuff being shared and it fills up your page with everything your doing. That might be [...More...]

Changing things again

Not sure if I’m going to stick with this theme. I like it and it’s got “widgets” for the sidebar which the other one didn’t. That forced me to learn how the code worked, so it was good for learning. It’s taking a little longer than I thought, so if things don’t look quite right, please stand-by. Someone needs to find me a good photo for the top banner. This one is the one that came with the theme and it’s a great picture, but everyone that uses this theme has this picture. I need something different and something that [...More...]

Resistance is Futile!

V. Grumpy over at A Courtesy Flush wrote about my attempts to take over the blogging world. Just because my blogs are everywhere and I’m always trying to recruit drivers (or anyone) to write at Life on the Road (it pays! why wouldn’t you want to write there!) and I want to make sure if I’m mentioned anywhere on the net that it’s somewhat accurate doesn’t necessarily mean I’m taking over the trucking blog world (or does it?). There doesn’t seem to be that many truckers online and even fewer that want to intelligently write about trucking. My so-called empire [...More...]

Social Networking

I’m a little late in joining “social networks”, but since I’m preparing on getting a real job someday and employers Google everyone’s name nowadays. I need to make sure my name is me. I just created WayneWeisser.com and have started checking MySpace, FaceBook and Linked In for any discrepancies or anything that has my name, but isn’t me. I tried to get weisser.com just so I could have the email address of wayne@weisser.com, but weisser.com is already a German car dealership. Click on any of the links or go to wayneweisser.com and my network is on the sidebar. There are [...More...]

Trucking Part Time

The last few weeks have actually seemed like things are picking up. I actually had a few loads where I was empty one day and loaded the next. So at least I was kept fairly busy. The pay wasn’t as much as it should have been for $4 a gallon fuel, but it wasn’t horrible. For right now, I’ll settle for “not horrible”. Once things get to the horrible level, I’m parking for awhile. During the days and days of sitting around waiting for loads and since I’m online most of the time wherever I happen to be parked, I [...More...]

Trucking? Not so much.

I’ve been neglecting trucking lately. Even thinking about trucking is a little depressing. If I can’t write anything good, then I probably won’t write. I don’t want this to turn into a whine fest, which would be real easy nowadays. But to come out here and have a return trip rescheduled, another trip rescheduled and have a trip offered that paid $1 a mile (thankfully, my office turns that stuff down so I don’t have to deal with those idiots) it gets a little depressing with all of the waiting. Waiting isn’t trucking. Okay, waiting is a part of trucking, [...More...]

Rock-a-bye...

Ground Zero Still in southern New Jersey, the wind is blowing the truck back and forth like a boat and it’s supposed to snow tomorrow but stop in the afternoon. Hopefully by Monday night things will be cleared up and I can drive to Allentown tomorrow night and be loaded Tuesday. It’s being loaded by a crew which is good, but most of these kinds of loads, product isn’t ready until the last minute. I think I’m sticking with this theme. It’s the same that’s used on Life on the Road, but everything works. All the headers, paragraph breaks, photos, [...More...]

Upgrading Adventures in Trucking

A new WordPress version has come out and I’m going to be upgrading and putting in a few more plug-ins I want to try out. If anything looks funny today (Tuesday), it’s just me. Update: I messed something up. May have to start over from scratch. Good thing for backups. Update2: Holy cow that was fun. After screwing up , reinstalling, then restoring tables, I was distracted and imported Adventure tables into Truckingblog. What a mess. Adventures is fixed and I’m done messing with it for now. Pictures work, the page listing needs a little tweaking, but I can do [...More...]

A couple of updates to the site – I noticed I didn’t have comments listed on the side, when I was looking for a plug-in to list comments, I ran across this Similar Posts plug-in. Other plug-ins use tags and categories, this one compares the entire posts and looks for similar posts with the same content. Probably not real important or relevant to this site, but I wanted to see how it looked in case I wanted to use it on another site. I’m not sure if I like both so I may keep looking around for something different. We [...More...]
