    We will never forget. 9/11

    After eight years going to the City, I think I know just a tiny bit how badly hurt New Yorkers were by 9/11. For years, and possibly even still, my friends there could only handle the anniversary if it was raining or otherwise gloomy; it hurt even worse when the day was as sunny and beautiful as...

    Looking into start expiditing

    Vanning is easier, that's why there are way too many of them. Literally almost a dime a dozen. Got a CDL? Drive a straight. You'll be glad you did.

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    Having fun painting Kentuckians as hillbillies and racists? A lot of states had antimiscegenation laws, especially in the 19th and prior centuries. Even the liberal paradise California didn't repeal theirs until 1948. Maryland was the last state to repeal its own such statute before the Loving...

    Mooresville is less-ville for freight, I guess. Off to Rock Hill for the weekend.

    Just had a penitentiary flashback....

    She came to Christ four years ago. In four years, how many husbands has she had/ how many children out of wedlock? As Skyraider points out, it doesn't matter. God forgives all sins*, even the ones we commit after we're saved. She is under attack because the world hates what she stands for. So...

    August. Where you at,

    Bye bye rumble! :D:cool: Turned out to be nothing more than a rear U-joint. I kinda suspected as much, but this was my first experience with a bad U-joint, so I couldn't be sure. Still waiting for next week to go out on the road; tonight I have the last of 3 diabetic ed classes to attend, and I...

    Dried Fruit: Good or Bad?

    I will indulge in a Cinnabon once in a blue moon. Last week I got one naked (the pastry, not me :eek: ). As usual, it was delicious:cool:

    Load gods? Nope! The Lord Himself smiled on me! Got a run right out of Albuquerque, back to Taylor, MI. Rumble is worse, tho, so now on my way home to visit the van doctor. I'll be dipped if I can figure out what the heck is wrong with it. Also, need to go home and TCB ;) , and see my...

    August. Where you at,

    OOS in Pittsburgh while the van gets fixed. Was offered a weekend run to NYC. Obviously, no way would I do that; after 8 years, going back into Manhattan with the van would be like a dog going back to the guy who beat him. Only way I'd go into NYC is to hand carry the freight the last few miles...

    Forum Tip New Features of the Forum

    Want a Friday load? I just got offered a Pittsburgh to NYC run. 1700 lbs, delivers in Manhattan. How would I unload it? Nobody in Manhattan has forklifts or Hi- Lows. If a building even has a dock, that means a dock-high truck. And don't even get me started on the cost of tickets! Obviously I...

    Couldn't dodge the excess capacity. Relocated east, maybe there's freight over here.
