    I-40 in Western Tennessee

    Avoid at all costs. We drove through the crap in Arkansas last night, then had to drive through fast-running water over the road at about the 58 MM this morning. No way cars are getting through. The westbound lanes are backed up about 8 miles, and there is no way to re-route or turn...

    Montague is the next town north of mine. You probably drove right past Doug Born's smokehouse. Pricey, but best jerky I've ever eaten.

    Syracuse, after Gatineau, Quebec. Happy to be back on the road. You smell garlic, Joe?

    i-80 in pa remains free

    I continue to be outraged over the NYS Thruway tolls. These tolls were in place to repay bonds issued to construct the Thruway, and were, in fact, retired in 1997. Matter of fact, Spitzer and Paterson campaigned on eliminating the tolls. Talk about back-door taxation without...

    BlockBuster Express...

    They're like Kodak finally realizing that there's such a thing as digital photography; about a decade too late. I bet BB is BK by year's end.

    That's it. I was too lazy to look it up on the phone, and didn't have the 'puter open. Thanks, Greg.

    Mercede Benz engine MBE260

    I have one, and like it thus far. Every opinion I've read states that the engine's destined to be a boat anchor after 400k on the clock. Mine has 430k, and shows no signs of dying anytime soon. There are a few here who have responded with 500 and 600k, and they're still running. A friend of...

    Owner playing with my pay

    Quote from Brisco: "Earn your keep and live within your means, period." Means plays no part in a credit score. You type just to see your handle in print. Speak of what you know. Further, if you are living within your means, why are you borrowing others' money? Et tu, Brute. Pot, meet...

    Owner playing with my pay

    Wow. Grilled and soupified (is that a word?) in the same thread. Is the "Cliff Claven" comment something like someone piping up about a credit applicant with a 600 Beacon score only being granted credit for a Ford Pinto and a courier job? There could be lots of reasons for a 600 credit...

    New trucker tax

    I sit in New York as I read this; a scant 7 miles from where I grew up. I now remember why I never moved back.

    Brockport, NY. Got a run Friday that delivered this AM 28 miles from sister's house. Nieces threw her a surprise 50th birthday party, and Sabre have won 3 in a row. Life is good.

    Panther & Expeditors Services. Why so slow?

    Ask them how long between PM's. Wacky maintenance schedule, IMHO. But what do I know? I'm just a rookie.
