Battle of Sugars: Sucrose versus corn syrup
There is an ongoing debate in our society about which is healthier for you: good old-fashioned sucrose, otherwise known as sugar, or high fructose corn syrup.

Trucks and women, then and now
What’s old is new again. Here is an old Overdrive Magazine cover and here is a recent Overdrive photo shoot of a pretty girl and Gene McKinney’s 2000 Peterbilt 379 wrecker. What do you think? Is this traditional approach too retro for our politically correct world?

Trucker finds real Facebook friends
Dear Carolyn, I have been going through a really rough time lately. Believe it or not, I have found strength through other truckers I have met online. These “strangers” have given me good advice, prayed for me and helped me make it through the darkest time of my life. I know you don’t believe that […]

Not a healthy Subway choice
Dear Carolyn, My husband feels virtuous because he eats at Subway when he’s on the road.  He says, “If it’s good enough for Jared, it’s good enough for me.” I disagree. His favorite sub is the Meatball Pepperoni Melt. I contend that just the name itself screams, “heart attack!” My husband is 55 years-old, […]
