Welcome to the third installment of Hell Week. If you want to get caught up with the previous two, check out the links below. Hell Week is what I call a bad week of trucking. I'm sure it's no comparison to the Marine's Hell Week, but I'm a giant wuss so this is as close as I will ever get.
You can find this blog post here.

I'm still looking for an Owner/Operator who would be willing to install the Wheel-Check product and do a short audio or text review. Contact me at [email protected].
If you like discussing your Apple products and services, send an email to [email protected] to request an invitation.
Despite my hatred of Facebook, I'm considering starting a Trucker Dump Facebook page. If you'd be interested in something like that, please email me at [email protected]. If I don't hear from a lot of you, I ain't-a-gonna-do-it.
I got three new iTunes reviews recently, courtesy of Clive Hammett @Clive_Hammett, Kevin Thompson Sr. @KevinThompsonS1, and Kenneth Summerlin. Thanks guys!
I also received a new Amazon review from Geek Dad's Computer Service for my ebook: Trucking Life: An Entertaining, Yet Informative Guide To Becoming And Being A Truck Driver. Most excellent!
Some listeners/readers have asked about supporting the podcast/blog without buying the book so I have set up a way to donate your moolah through PayPal. Not necessary, but there it is if you want to throw your money at me.
I also share a couple of funny stories about my nephew Jared learning to drive and our cat's iPhone addiction.
I saw a funny sign at a shipper down on the Mexican border.
Listener Steven Gorman (who co-hosted TD111: Improving Our Reputation As Truckers) and his wife Shannon had a baby girl named Aubree Lin on September 10. Congratulations!

Gregory read TD91: Bungling The 34-Hour Rule wrote in to thank me for writing the Trucker Dump blog.
Clint Shine is an old friend of mine who I hung out with in my 20's. He wrote in wondering if I was the same dude he thought I was. He's a truck driver now too!
Brian from Australia sent a video of The World's Longest Truck Road Train. Cool stuff!
Bird Dog listened to TD75: Who's A Trucker? and has his opinion on it.
Lastly, Jack listened to TD95: 4 Reasons That Trucker Might Be Tailgating You and gives me a good scolding. Of course, I respond in kind.
