Thanks, still around reading posts here and there and doing my courier thing in my 2019 Prius with 185,000 on it already. Still running like it did when I bought it new with 23 miles on it in June '19. Them Japanese really know their stuff ;-) Hoping all at EO Happy Holidays and a profitable 2021

DC / N. VA / Baltimore To drive the 56 miles from my office in N. VA to Home (Baltimore) during most evening rush hours (3PM - 8PM) about 2 1/2 hours. One of the main reasons I only work at night.

Thanks Guys!

I'm based (live in Baltimore) here and hate driving in the DC/NOVA/BALT area. Road rage is the worst I've ever seen anywhere. I guess people are kinda crazy around here o_O

Learning how to use a spell check might be a good start....Wow! It's like I'm reading a different language.

The kid that lived downstairs from me thought I was an extraterrestrial so I named my wifi network the same just to mess with him when he would see his list of available wireless networks.

Looked like a LaserShip courier uniform shirt.

Fleas from my 2 cats at home.

Ever thought about maybe working for a courier company as an IC? There is good and bad companies just like any transportation business. I've managed to make a pretty good living in the 15 years I have been a courier in the DC/NOVA/Baltimore areas. Less stringent insurance requirements and...

OK, wasn't aware of that. Bottom line, what I have been doing for the past 15 years being a courier seems to be working, fingers crossed.

A lot of people hauling pizzas too that if you look at the tiny writing in their insurance policies, I'm sure say it is not allowed. I have the insurance that the companies I contract for require me to have. I hate too even think about the average Uber driver and how many of them are...

Thank you, that's exactly what I was trying to say. Since I just work for a couple of courier companies, I don't have any markings or commercial plates on my Promaster. I still keep a close eye on clearance signs though.

Nothing to get busted for....not a commercial vehicle. I see 'unmarked Sprinters' on the Belt all the time and know a few of the local NYC couriers that drive them. Same thing on the GW Pkwy in VA/DC.

That's the way a lot of the bridges are around NYC, oval. Especially the pkwys north of the city.

As weird as it may sound, I'd much rather drive in NYC rush hour traffic than Northern VA where I am based. I truly believe we have the worst drivers in the country but everybody probably says that about their city.
