Been out of service for almost a week and killed the "Honey do" list over the last couple days. So tomorrow I am either going back in service or going fishing... hmmm

Home for the first time in 6 weeks and enjoyed Easter with the family.

Wandering in the wilderness... Menominee, MI picking up a load tomorrow.

When I get a load down that way, I'll bring the steaks!

Been talking with a few drivers and fuel is now running about $1.00 more than it was about 6 months ago. At 16 mpg every dollar increase in fuel cost is 6.25 cents more per mile to run our vehicles. Are you all seeing that increase in your pay? We are told that when we go to the grocery store...

Picked up in Valencia, CA Friday evening and delivered in Augusta, GA this morning. Good weekend!

Sitting in Ontario California waiting for that Friday evening load back out east.

General rule, giving cash is a bad idea unless, you have a real strong leading from God. The best if you want to help an individual is a meal, clothes, a bag of groceries, gas in their tank. Then you cut down on the risk of being scammed. Even if you are, you did your best to help someone that...

So, I pull into Portland Oregon on Friday afternoon deliver my load, park the cargo van at the TA and notice there are quite a few people living in their vehicles there. Well, I didn't get a load and Sunday evening I get approached by the guy living in the conversion van next to me. He said "hey...

Just arrived in Portland, OR after a 2400 mile run. Slept through a load offer to San Diego in the middle of the night... Guess the sleep was more imortant than another 1000 mile run? Is there any way to rig a shock collar to the ringer of my cell phone?

In Jackson, Miss. Spent the whole week in the south, haven't seen snow in a bit, kinda nice and some decent miles too!

That would be him. Learned a lot during our short meeting.

Hector, I haven't taken a load for under 90cpm all year. There are lots of companies out there that can get you a decent rate. Always shoot for a $1.00 or more. A company offering .65 to .75 is a company you should run from. Keep researching and do not settle. This is a tough road and those that...

Hey! Wow! I am a Senoir Member now! I feel so.....special :cool:

I have met a few EO members on the road, Gotta go, Little Joe, a real cool guy who says he doesn't post here much anymore and drives his sprinter/office teachin folks to be safe, even had a couple people ask me if I was PreacherRich because of my Rockin Red Van, being a newbie it's cool meeting...

Hanging out with family in Brighton, MI got a 600 mile round tripper tomorrow. Tuesday taking the wife out with me to see the country.

I really, really miss the "Like" button...just not the same. Great responses guys

I agree and I also think that because the two worlds are so different, that every dispatcher would benefit by spending 2 weeks OTR with a good driver.

Ok, how hard can it be to be a dispatcher? Is it just me or does everyone have the feeling that when we call into dispatch, though they say they are watching for us, that they are actually having drinks at the local pub? Maybe only watching the board on the commercial breaks during Days of Our...

Back home in Michigan a few days off then back at it.
