Sitting here in the load 1 service bay feeling very nostalgic . They are removing my Qualcomm and lettering. Thinking about all of the adventures I have been on over the last 9 years. Expediting has been very good to me but also not so good (health wise). So with this I say goodbye to the...

was out going for a walk this evening and noticed this abnormality. Thought I would keep it but then thought about clearance issues. DOT might have something to say about it. Is this my pot of gold John?

AND I was able to unload 10 hours early.

I was raised to always do my best. Be top of the heap. Be the champion. My competitive side runs very deep. HOWEVER, I am pretty sure I am number 1 on a certain list that I don't want to be on. Hoping I get knocked down off of my perch very soon.[emoji12]

Got the bypass signal both times last night. Granted both weigh stations were closed. [emoji12]But none the less all appears to be functioning properly.

I like to "Lurk" and on occasion let everyone know I am still alive and kicking.

I have a buddy who is a Progressive insurance adjuster and flew down to San Antonio on Sunday to help with all of the extra claims in the area. He said he will be there a minimum of three weeks. My understanding is that all of the I-35 corridor in Texas has been hit extremely hard. Be wise and...

And this is why I moved up to straight trucks 2 1/2 years ago. The market was flooded then in the van/sprinters. Can't imagine what it's like now.

6+ inches in Chicago with some areas getting 8-12. Be careful, first snows of the year are always the worst.

Under load that delivers Monday AM and pre-dispatched for Monday. Been awhile since I was out on a holiday weekend and it's not as bad as I remember [emoji12]

I just had a weekend load deliver on Monday morning to Williston, ND. When I accepted the load I KNEW there were no loads in the area and I would have to DH out on my own dime. After I delivered I waited 34 hours to reset my 70 hour clock then took off for Minneapolis. I also made dispatch aware...

If it were me and I delivered to NB I would have immediately done a 19 for Laredo, and if it were backed up there I would have then done 1 for Dallas and Houston and if push came to shove then El Paso. Those are the only places to sit in Texas and have a realistic shot at loads. Just my 2 cents...

It retails for $550 - $600 online and it was only 160,800 points. It took me about 15 months to get the points. Not bad for watching some videos, logging correctly, and answering a question a day. Thanks again John.

Been awhile since I have come to this site but had to share the following. First, had a Dynamite sighting the other day as they blew by me ;) Second, first time in a straight truck I "had" to take a 34 hour shut down as I was really low on hours. :) and third, just got word I received the...

Working on financing to build a fleet but keep getting set back. I hope English Lady will keep her patience with me as I was hoping to purchase her truck and keep it rolling.
