Keep in mind I had a 10 minute conversation about a 90 minute event, wrote this post at 3am in a Denny's 8-10 hours after my conversation with my friend. Wrote down as much as I could remember. Don't think I "enhanced" anything but I am sure there is much that my friend could add. Maybe he will...

Delivered in Romeo, MI 2 hours earlier than required. Drove to my daughters house for some sleep. Woke up this morning with my 20 month old grandson crawling over me saying grandpa, grandpa, grandpa. Great way to start the day! Waiting for a load out of the Detroit area. Just a couple more...

Wow, this post has been exciting! Yesteryear we love ya even if you're quite defensive to your mutating position. Tell your husband thanks for serving. I love cops, my daughter married one and my nephew is the county sherriff way up north. I am still a little tweaked about these two officers...

Got a load deivering in the Detroit area tomorrow (Wednesday) if any of you are heading to or through Minneapolis, Atlanta or Denver please let me know. You All Rock!

Thanks for your help Dave, it really is appreciated. Sitting at the J east of St Louis

Ok, so maybe there is not a "flood" of Mexican trucking companies in the US but there are a fair number of immigrant drivers in the US, from what I understand, that are working for a below average rates. Having a hard time finding statistics online to confirm these truckstop conversations. That...

Ok, I am fairly new to the industry but it seems there are a few explanations for this. Rates for freight have dropped which means people are trying do more to make the same money. There is less money to maintain vehicles and upgrades are getting put off. There seem to be a flood of drivers...

Dinner at the Iron Skillet in Oak Grove, KS. Waiting for the phone to ring with that miracle weekend run. May get a hotel room for the first time in my expediter career.
