Well, my rescue cat has just been diagnosed with bone cancer, she might have to be put to sleep this weekend. If that is the case, my timeline for returning to the road might be moved up. I was wondering if there are still any drivers out there like Scott and his wife who drive for carriers that...

You mean 40 of my x -wives are running the freeways?

Maybe his co-driver weighs 500 pounds?

Did I ever tell you all how I got a speeding ticket reduced to a parking violation? I got a ticket in Ohio for going 71 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. The cop swore up and down that the DA would not work with me and that the ticket would ruin my license because it was driving 16 MPH over the speed limit...

Better Call Saul!

Yeah on some vans it does. I would only use it on the Chevy or ford regular vans.

Having the experience is key. I know what parts of the van to replace before they go out to prevent breakdowns on the road, what tires to use, oil, how all of the various different companies operate. I know now that a good ranch hand cattle guard bumper is needed on all vans, because one deer...

There are always variables in any business. I learned that waiting for the right driver is better than just putting any joe blow in the van. It's the driver who can make or break you in this business. I'm still going to attempt to drive at lease once before I go fleet owner. I know I can make...

I know this question has been beat to death like a 200 year old horse. I am just looking for ways to earn enough money to survive within my new medical limitations. I have some good days and think about driving a cargo van again, then I have bad days and know deep down inside that it's not in my...

They are a smaller truck, under what 25k pounds and you do not need a CDL B to drive them. The weight might be even lower and I believe they do not have air brakes. It's a good truck to start out and learn on.

It's a wild expediting animal called "the laughing hieno!" lol

OVM is the manager at the Cinnabon in Omaha! lol Saul Goodman. Gene!

I'm not a fan of government getting involved in businesses, but sometimes businesses go to far. Drivers too. Some of us drive long miles when we know better. We know it's not safe, but all we see are dollar signs. Bolt Express and Arrow Freight Systems were the only companies that I worked for...

OVM rustles up them horses and that stagecoach faster than a trapper can skin a possum.

Load offer. Stop. Load from WV to MI. Stop. Do you want it? Full stop!

Did you get OVM's old Qualcomm unit?

Bandit was the first expediter!

Was it that you wanted to slow down some and have more of a work home balance? I know they had you working like crazy. Running all those loads is how you make money; but if driving is all you're doing, you become a machine. That is no way to live either. It's hard to strike a good balance...

Why would you leave Road Runner? I though they were the best carrier out there. John must have paid you a lot of money to come on over lol.

You would ideally jam the phones at the truck stops and only when your dispatcher sees Laredo loads being posted. Then you would be parked down the road somewhere while all this is happening lol. Would be something to try.
