    Where do you park?

    Since we run cargo vans we park in our drive way. When I had the Isuzu 16ft Cube, we parked it on the street. But back then I lived on a corner lot and the street dead ended by my driveway!

    Illinois already utilizes speed cameras in certain construction zones. They're white Chevy Express Vans w/tinted windows. State Police are also starting to park in construction zones in a effort to reduce speeding.

    One reason why the speed on I-294 is different than other parts of the interstate system in the Chicago area is the more congestion there is, ie, increased traffic, population, dictates the safest speed limit for that area! Take for example I-80 as you approach Joliet area, it drops to 55mph

    There's only one way defensively! And it should be practiced everywhere. Sad to say if you're ever traveling through Illinois take notice to the electronic billboards over the interstate where it tells you how many traffic deaths up to date. Last year 2012 ended around 950 plus or minus. This...

    Yep, we have our moments when we rock but being that we're a closed (non operational) facility. We're not near as busy as the facility across the street from us, which is the oldest nuclear operating plant in the country. We get the occasional lost pizza delivery driver or lost expediter...

    Murray, there is nothing wrong with missing your family. I'm sure others that have families at home in a similar situation feel the same way. I know my days of expediting, Jackie hated me being gone and was never happier than seeing me park the van in the drive way. Was part of the reason I...

    We wear the fatigues too at our facility. They're much more comfortable and breathable. Besides at these facilities it's dirty and dusty. We carry semi autos in a drop holster on our leg and carry shotguns.

    Wow that's interesting! But then I realized you delivered into an active working nuclear facility, where as ours is closed and non operational. So deliveries to my operation are not as critical requiring exclusive use or expedite.
