I made my first mistake! Yeah right. The week looked like it was going to start out OK. Dispatch gives me a 300+ mile run. Cool. The QC and the phone call both say it is going to Lincoln, IL. I get to the shipper, load and punch in Lincoln, IL into the GPS. The street address comes up...

Anybody know why you should not apply your brakes while traveling over a set of railroad tracks?

Generally speaking, many trucks sitting everywhere. Last week, a friend allowed me to sit and look at load boards with him. We studied the idle times and the number of units in each area. I was shocked at the number of available units. Worse yet, 70% of the trucks on the boards we reviewed...
