    Seriously...He Believes this Tripe?(Santorum)

    Found a house in Belize for just $79K. Walk to the beach, down town, the reef is 30 minutes away by boat. Beautiful beaches, warm sunshine etc... So no matter which one of these nut jobs get elected or re-elected, there is a place in the sun with no taxes on income coming in from the US and...

    Finish this sentence...The coolest thing I have ever hauled is...

    They cable tie the body of the new Dodge Ram to the frame so its easier to swap out when it gets rusty. Those are very important cable ties.

    Everyone else gets cool freight, we get ball bearings and bolts. Not even an alien body or part of a flying saucer. I'm really bummed.

    Flying J/Pilot gives us the finger

    I do wish they would ban a few vans cuz we would enjoy a few more miles. I think "Ban the Cheap Freight" would be a better catch phrase. Or, if you are stuck in Tulsa, you get an extra $.50 a mile on your next run and a free steak at Outback! Just saying'

    Flying J/Pilot gives us the finger

    Dennis is anything but a moron so he really is the exception. I really though I could stir up more crap but I guess not. Man, what's it take to get a reaction out of this group? Life is dull enough sitting in Tulsa with a solo and team ahead of us. Guess I'll go back to Angry Birds.

    FedEx Custom Critical Rebranding Update

    When I first read this memo I was wondering how it will effect the Expediter Services vehicles. They have so many signed on. On our little van this is a non item. We can use the extra grand. It just goes in the savings account. Some of the graphics on the larger units look good to me but I...

    Doomsday Preppers

    The Benelli Super Nova 12gauge pump at Big 5 runs under $400.00 and makes a great home protection weapon. You can add an extension for 7 rounds and with a mix on 00 buck shot and slugs you can take care of your family in close quarters. Way too many choices in longer range weapons. Dave...

    Doomsday Preppers

    Sounds like Honey Lake country. We had some friends near there years ago when we lived North of Reno. The cheapest land we have found is in South Missouri. Try Texas County. They have a Castle Law that gives you broad protection if you find it necessary to defend yourself. The land is...

    ? on Health Insurance

    We called Blue Cross directly and bypassed the middleman (agent). It saved us $$$ but my wife's insurance alone is $540 a month. Mine is much higher but I am a cancer survivor. Good luck.

    A&E shipping wars LOL

    Could be but we haven't been down there in several weeks.(since last year sometime) Every time we deliver to Laredo, we head back North as fast as the wheels will roll.

    GPS can't find it's *&&

    We have been having trouble with our Garmin for the last couple of weeks. We are in Houston currently. We have had it about 2 + years without too much trouble. Just a quirk?

    A&E shipping wars LOL

    I watched the moron take the trucks into Mexico. I hoped they would keep him. Never a federaly around when you need one. Also he paid a $500 border crossing fee. No profit in that load. I am all for working hard and living the American dream. I guess these folks show everyone how not to do...

    How is your 2012 so far?

    We came back in service Monday in Dallas. We had one offer today with a ton of head head on the back end so we passed. One offer we did not get yesterday. There are 16 vans at the J and TA here on I20. Maybe tommarow.

    Info update on roadshredder

    We carry a spare headlight behind the drivers seat cuz the drivers side headlight goes out about every 6-7 weeks. A spare does not take up that much room. And they never go out where it is easy to buy a new one. It's always 100 miles to the next town. We always try to be prepared if we can.

    Trucker 8X over DWI - Article (NJ/NY)

    I wish that the US treated drunk drivers like they do in the middle east. 1st offense is 1 year in prison. 2nd offense they take you out behind the prison and shoot you. They don't have 3rd time offenders. I am really good with this.
