Wednesday: good paying shortie to Wichita. Thursday: got a whale, heading to Maine. Arrived at shipper, load is 120x24x30. I could have fit it in but I would have lost my bed for two nights. Thankfully, the shipper re-crated the load down to 68x48. Keep the load and the bed [emoji16] Now in...

I'm not a big fan of casinos, but thanks. That said, a few months back when we were having a peanut butter and ramen noodle weekend, one of Murray's finest took us to the Hard Rock Cafe inside a casino in Tulsa. Great food good price, and he bought [emoji4]

Tune in around 1:30am; you'll see things they don't show here in the States [emoji15]

I'll update this post with the exact chapter and verse when I Google it, but in a nutshell, PA state inspection is an acceptable equivalent to a DOT inspection. If I were you, I'd just send your dispatcher a picture of your inspection sticker, both sides, or a pic of your invoice from the garage...

Almost the reverse of what we just did (Lancaster, PA to Des Moines Iowa)! Drive safely and be well [emoji4]

The problem will be if you end up with a dual rear wheel vehicle. There's not enough room between the wheel wells for a US-standard pallet. European-designed vans like the Sprinter are made with Europallets in mind (800x1200 mm, or for us Yanks, 31.5"x47.25").

I left NJ in 1961 and I have no plans to ever move back.

Philadelphia people like me cannot comment about the Cowgirls; it would be a violation of the EO code of conduct[emoji19]

Picked up winter jackets, etc at BIL's house, propane tank at younger son's house, then went to oldest son's house for some Grandson Time[emoji7] Van needed a blower motor switch and other minor fixes. Hallelujah, the sliding door is now quiet! Now on a nice weekend jaunt to Iowa.

Stayed in the Forks until yesterday, then moved down to Fargo. Four calls since; no joy at .70 or .75 [emoji19] Not sure what to do, because Minneapolis is crawling with vans. May change Dakotas, but idk yet. Sent from my KYOCERA-C6745 using EO Forums mobile app

All-nighter, Council Bluffs Iowa to Logansport, Ind. Finished at 1030. Told pimps we need some downtime then will head to Indy at 1600. They call at 1205, need me to cover a customer. 2500 lbs, 77 to the pick, 31 loaded. I turned it down. My payload capacity is 2300. I'd probably have done it on...

Had enough of sitting in KC. Deadheaded to Des Moines last night, today got a shortie at a good rate, to Omaha. Dispatched on a Lincoln, NE to ATL. Fell through, tho, cos the freight is 85" tall! Somewhere in Lincoln, a straight truck is loading a 500 lb load, and someone is paying for the...
