Bored. And at the same time sometimes boring.

I skimmed through here, saw Gottago’s comment and moved on. Came back to see if this was a very old thread. Welcome back, Gottago.

I-80 has a very large sit down restaurant. Almost upscale for a Truckstop. It’s easy to miss with all that’s going on over there.

Lucky to have found such a bargain. Do you have liability insurance for when some kid gets hurt on your property? ( your present homeowners insurance may or may not cover it. Ask your agent.) Don’t you have to mow or otherwise maintain it ? BTW, do you reside on the aforementioned vacant lot ?

One of my favorites was in Missouri. On 44 between St Louis and Rolla if I remember right. Doolittle ? Near the EB rest area. Not a Truckstop but the lot held 40 or so TTs. Awesome chicken. Ham and beans. Decent country favorites. And cheap enough that OVM would eat there. Edit: the place is...

To me there are a lot of liabilities in owning a property you seldom see. Maintenance. I had a house that was empty briefly and people moved in. People I didn’t know. Repairs, taxes, insurance. All this vs $200 per year ? No thanks.

Put on on-spots. Faster/safer. Stay dry and warm. It’s unsafe walking around in chainup conditions. Do you have the time to chain up to get out of a parking space or dock ? Sometimes no.

Back in the 60’s gates could be lifted up. I lived by tracks in Chicago. Often times as kids we would lift gates to let cars go by . If malfunctioning.

Someone will say you need an address to take per diem. Show me that regulation. And this service actually gives you an address if you desire to have one. Renting a room at a relatives house seems like fraud to me. Similar to the home office deduction. Someone that works from home may have...

Helpful for full time travelers. If you live in your vehicle are you going to get your CDL addressed to your PO Box ?

Don’t you ever sleep ? Fraud or laws that encourage this behavior? Follow the money.

Possible malfunction? The gate infront of the garbage truck is fully down. The others are half up or half down or possibly stuck.

Once Bison Forwarding opens, Ken can work from home.

A friend was interested in being a resident of another state without having to live there. I called an old friend that used a place called Dakota Post very happily for 5 years. Another biz, called My Best Address, looked like a place with a lot to offer. Low vehicle registration costs, no...

Great Idea !!!! I’ve felt like I’ve been screwed once or twice by a tow truck driver. I never thought about calling a tow truck driver AND a wench at the same time !

Oh yeah, keep a safe following distance. When things happen, they happen fast !

Rags, do you remember black ice as a kid ? All I remember is ice. Plain old ice. Also, when it was zero,it was zero. Not zero, but feels like -10 degrees. I remember this cause I walked two miles to school. Uphill. Both ways.

As Terry said, watch for spray coming off tires. Also, bridges and underpasses will ice up first. Watch for shady areas that may not get the warming rays of the sun. And if you don’t feel safe, don’t let a dispatcher bully you into running. They’ll be pissed, but they’ll get over it. And...

Pick up the phone and call them. Get the facts, not internet BS. In the past, they would team you up and put you with a legitimate company. As you learned the business they had various programs to give you different opportunities. What they offer now, I do not know. I betcha they know.

The days half over and you’re first. Sad My Bears being first. Nice. If they had held on and beat Green Bay, there’d be a lot of talk about them at 4-0.
