Yeah LOTS of miles lol!

Yeah, I know the company real well...My Dad retired from them years ago back when they were Allis-Chalmers. He ran their parts warehouse in East Brunswick, NJ then transferred with them to their other warehouse in Carol Stream, IL. Batavia is their warehouse for the farm equipment. The Carol...

Have a early 7am pu in Joliet, IL heading for Poughkeepsie, NY with a stop off in Clarion, PA. *very precious "white glove load" *no offense FedEx folks, in fact I'd call it a TLC load. Pay is real good too!

Thank you for the compliment Team Caffee. I'm glad I was able to put a smile on your faces. Hopefully as soon as I get off work at 6am were off back to New York close to where we were for the cruise this past weekend. This time we're driving as mother-in-law and our Husky are going along too...

That is my neck of the woods, used to live in the area....just curious where you picked up at. I've loaded out of a few companies in Batavia, and delivered into E. Peoria. Usually to Caterpillar.

Ok my wife and I just got back from a business trip (for her)/vacation/second honeymoon. This is only the second time we've flown together. The first was when we we're seriously dating and we flew from Chicago to Phoenix for a few days to cover the state and back home and the latest was this...

Back home in Chicago (Joliet). Wife had a business trip and I tagged along. Nothing like a free Celebrity Cruise to innaugurate their newest ship the "Silhouette" IT'S AWESOME. Everything was free including the drinks. Left for Newark early Friday morning, left the port overlooking New York...

Yeah I agree. Bet it will be a sharp looking van. Still bummed that Ford is doing away with the Econoline series. They will be missed. I am a firm believer that competition is a good thing and one should have choices available to them. I was talking with a fedex delivery driver tonight and he...

bulldog, There is no money to be made in local deliveries, especially in your own vehicle. The money is in long or regional out of state runs. On the flipside, I used to run a local route for a animal lab company picking up lab specimens from animal hospitals throughout the Chicago...

Hey Preacher Rich, Lot's of good advice from a lot of veteran expediters out there. In my situation before I got married, I ran like gang busters running expedited freight. When I got married, my wife wasn't too keen on me being gone for such long stretches of time. Although my...

I hope its soon, I can't wait. I've seen a guy with Try Hours who was chilling at our local Wally World in Joliet, IL off I-80 x130. but left him alone figuring he was sleeping.
