Got here Sunday night and now it's 16:00 eastern and we are still here. Had a couple of offers that we accepted but one went to another van and the other cancelled. Turned down a couple that were not very good. It maybe time to start looking at other companies. Last June was good but not so...

We pay off our cards every two weeks. We never carry a balance and pay no interest. By paying them off every two weeks, you don't risk forgetting to make a payment.

I think all of the trucks will be equal when the FDCC wants us to take a run in to the middle of moose droppings Canada. For the good runs that everyone wants, then the playing field will be slanted towards the heavy logo's. We will just drift along until we hear the fat lady start warming up...

We always go out of service when we are going to have a margarita with dinner. We don't want to get a call for a drug test after we have had a drink. We will take a chance on the dwell time, we are the only team in Texas at this time. We would rather be somewhere we enjoy sitting than to be...

I should have mentioned we are in a van. We did get a run from Houston to Alabama on the third night. Enroute, we were offered a pre dispatch to..... you guessed it, Laredo. Since it was a Sat-Sunday load and because they begged, we gave in and took it. They also mentioned a chance at a...

Got to Dallas Monday am and got several bad offers at .55 cents to 75 cents. Finally got an offer picking up in Houston for today and it turned out we could not take it so we are now still stuck in Texas but now in Houston where little freight has been shipped the last 3 weeks. Gotta quit...

We got the Costco American Express and get 4 percent on fuel, 2 on motels, 1 on everything else. We use it for everything. Points are only good at Costco. Should have about 3000 by the end of the year. They have great tires and I like the Pizza too.

I found a nail in the right front tire this morning and there was a Discount Tire in the same parking lot so I stopped in to have the tire fixed. They had me in and out in 30 minutes and at no charge. First time I have used them, but I will be back. Kinda like Les Schwab Tires out West. They...

Charlotte NC. Been here since Sat. Had a few short offers we turned down and two long runs we accepted but both cancelled. Slowly fading into the landscape. Been sitting soooo long we are starting to see black cats creeping across the side of our van. Clashes with the current logo's.

Ours too. It sucks. Those runs in the Carolina's and Virginia's are a pain.

Thanks for sharing your troubles with the Sprinter. My wife keeps telling me that we need more room for the two of us in this Chevy Extended Van. She points out every nice Sprinter she see's and says "we really need one of those". This post was the final nail in that coffin. Not a chance in...

They own their own border crossing and with their private jets, they own their own air space. They both probably own their own country and travel on their own countries passport.

No matter where we need to go in Philly, our GPS always takes us to a bad part of town. The streets are really narrow and we end up going in a back way. Maybe we should look at the directions the company sends us for truck routes and we would be much better off. Good sandwiches though and...

Dasani by the case at Wally World. Never go home to refill and refresh. Glad there is bottled water that tastes good. Just drop a few in the ice chest and enjoy liquid libation on the black tops of life. In the new recyclable bottles it is a perpetual motion product. We did our part to save...

Stuck in Kansas City, ready to rock and roll.

This is one of the most amazing uses of the iPad. We love our iPad. Guess we need to learn how to use it better. where do you add the water?

We just found a great do-it-yourself dog wash on the east side of Detroit. It is the Dapper Dog Wash in St Clair Shores MI. Best one we've ever used! They also have full-service wash and groom services. Check it out at index. If anyone knows of others elsewhere, please post info for us. Thanks!

I feel much better now. Been sitting since Sat but at least we have not had any cancels. We have had a few "sorry loser, didn't get the load" calls, but no cancels. There is still another team ahead of us so we may sit another day in beautiful Canton watching the grass grow as the rain falls...

Canton, OH. May go by the office and pick up supplies tomorrow. Got 3 including another team ahead of us so we should have plenty of time to kill.

We are still on the fence with the rebranding. Just can't get excited about that much advertising. Way to big. We are slower than we would like, but it is our own fault. We try to stay out of Canada so we turn down more than we should. I am sure it is biting us in the back side, but it is a...
