My questions is..... is where is all of this going to get us. This is how I see the whole NAFTA thing. Get it made as cheap as possible. Sell it for as much as you can. I'll have enough money so i'll never have to worry. Eliminate the middle class people all over this country. Create a...

Chicago is not a problem hubby ran rail there for 13 and a half years. He knows all of the coffee and diners where we can stop overnight. Please don't tell dispatch we don't want to go there all the time. He has never been happier then now driving truck and doesn't care if he ever goes back to...

You ever think that maybe they get them filled thru the mail and have to pick them up at home. This can be much cheaper. Usually you can get a 3 month supply at a time. Unless it is a controled substance and then you can't drive any way. Or maybe they think that being out a month at a time is...

We were offered a load going to delaware this afternoon and was asked what it would take for us to take it. I said a new truck if we crash... not a used one because that is what we already have... Dispatcher laughed and said no really what would it take and I repeated the new truck thing. We...
