Ludington, Michigan. Moved at least 18 times during marriage and now in S. Florida, but I think my home is still Ludington.

Have any of you with TC shudder problems been advised of future destruction of Torque converter....or other transmission parts? If the Ford TC is a design flaw, replacement with a new TC with same flaw won"t solve the problem. Fluid changes and shudder-fix additives seem to give a temporary...

My transmission shop identified noise as torque converter shutter. Could replace TC or change fluid and add shudder fix. Chose the latter. Shutter immediately stopped, but has reappeared after 8000 miles. On the Transit, can't just drop a little more shutter fix into the unit because there is...

Turtle If you're still in Ft. Lauderdale and bored, I might have an alternative for you besides racing yellow sports cars. That is if you enjoy fishing in a pond from the patio. Or just chillin'.

Good story about your adventures, well written too. I lived in Ft. Laud. in 70's, bass fished the 'glades. Living back here now, just about ready to return to expediting. We'll meet at some time and swap stories.........I'll tell you about the time I had one of those big felines in my van...

That's a great video, Turtle. I've slogged through the S. Florida swamps and everglades many times looking for a panther and never saw one. Guess I should have taken a stroll on the boardwalk. Even the panther likes it easy.

As a former multi, I can agree that you are correct some of the time. However, there were times when I had more than one carrier bid on a load for me and the higher rate won, usually because the customer knew and trusted the higher bidder. And a lot of times, one of several carriers would have...

Mudman, If you are still in the Mountain Home area, you might go east to Craters of the Moon National Monument. Amazing place. Then pick up I-15 going to SLC.

In addition to what others suggested, you might consider sitting at the Lebanon Pilot at Ex. 248 on I-40 for Friday. If no luck, move to multiple truck stops near I-40/I-75 split outside Knoxville on Friday night and sit there for Sat & Sunday. Worked for me, but that was a few years ago...

The need for covering news time leads to over coverage. However, there is a duty to keep the public informed, so it's a balancing act. Here in Florida we get days of coverage on every "maybe" hurricane until public starts ignoring it. Hard to get too worried over storm when newscaster is...

I'm thinking this thread should be mandatory information, and the first information, any wannabe must review before continuing with education about expediting. If they still want the lifestyle, nothing else will flush their dream away.

The ferry fleet is now down to one ship, the Badger. Multiple ships used to transport between Ludington, MI and the cities of Milwaukee, Kewaunee, and Manitowoc in Wisconsin. Originally the boats transported railroad cars of various lengths and cargo, including coal. No more railroad cars...

Simple 81mg aspirin once each day is great preventative for clogged arteries anywhere in the body. Even if no previous heart problems, the trucking lifestyle and diet can lead to blockages, then attacks and strokes. Of course, prior bleeding problems and other factors might have to be...

Your professional skills were well used, and even in your crisis you thought of others. Your hands and head and heart are in the right place. Defensive driving is so important as you, and other professionals like you, know so well and demonstrate every day. Good on you.

How did Benghazi get to be an issue in the first place? Why were we having problems in Libya? Why did Obama and Clinton, along with other countries, engage in war there? To take out the Libyan leader? To save the populace from that evil leader? To instill Democracy in a foreign land? Sounds...

Sometimes the wind paints froth around the lighthouse, and Jack Frost coats it with snow and ice. Don't wait ten years. Many more painting/photography treasures north of town at Ludington State Park.

Ludington, Michigan???.......that's my home town!!! PLEEZE take me with you. I'll show you my old home before it's put on the Tour of Childhood Homes of Famous Expiditors and you can say you knew somebody famous before they became famous. Or at least somebody egomaniacal. Take a drive west...

Great attitude you have. Thanksgiving and Christmas must be a hoot, too. Will Santa have a chimney for delivering presents?

Listen well to what those above have shared. Don't throw in the towel until you have learned more, from experience, about where to sit and wait and when to move, even on your own dime. I almost always took Laredo loads in a cargo van, but almost always got my sleep after delivery and if no...
