You're welcome. I did NOT intend to offend, even though I came across a bit harsh. I do this work because I love it, but it's a struggle, no lie.

I've driven a desk, and it's boring. But to be perfectly honest, unless you're about to be fired/laid off, or you desperately hate your job, stay home. Your wife, children, etc will thank you. Ya wanna play trucker? Get on Uship and do some weekend runs with your minivan/SUV/whatever.

Exactly! Low means slow ;)

I'd be curious too. On the one hand, it sounds like Tim got a mileage woody, but if he wants to go home, it's a great run.

I second this ^^^ :D

And just as you get to the dock and need to go check in, that's when you discover that you've found the one radio station in a thousand that plays the songs the way you like them! Example: most oldies stations play the two minute version of the Doors' "Light My Fire". How often do you get to...

I assume your odometer reads in kilometers; if so, your van s/b in great shape :)

Happy Birthday Star!

As in Dallas? Hell no:mad:

I looked at All Types' website, to get an idea what I needed to bring out on the road. That section makes some sense, at least for a clueless noob. I did not run for them. In Cali, you might try Albatross Express; I haven't run for them either, so I'll let wiser folks weigh in on them.

Just please, don't do this in a van. We're fighting over table scraps as it is. If I were allowed to do so, I'd be in a straight truck.

I wonder, tho, what would be a fair price to be able to do this legitimately?
