Thanks for the hookup, Dynomite. Maybe I can talk the guy into letting me stay there. Has anyone ever seen it so dead in Ontario, California? 13 of my size trucks there, and I believe 3 loads out. Should be more there today. By the way, some of my best Spanish grub has come from some of...

We're at the TA East in Ontario, California. Like the area; despise the truckstop. Laid over en route to a crappy $500 run. I'm not holding out hope that we'll get another run to add to our $1100 we've brought to the truck this week. Worst week in the short time since we've been out. What...

Parked outside Sally's Beauty Supply in Ontario, CA. The Puerto Rican likes to not look like a truck driver. Never seen it so slow here, although we've only been a few times. Eight D trucks and 4 E trucks here. One load left yesterday. I'm hoping things pick up, and soon.

A couple of years ago, en route to Mexico, we stopped at a place in Little Rock called the Whole Hog Cafe. Absolutely phenomenal barbecue, and even better potato salad. Swore I'd go back. Just got done with a run from Virginia Beach to Albuquerque. En route, I spied a sign in Conway, AR...

Sitting at the Sterling dealer in El Paso; Juarez in my mirrors.......waiting in line for the Rigmaster mechanis to tell me what I already know. This thing is a POS. Anyone know if they've gone back in business yet?

As a NYS native, I am ashamed to admit that tolls were supposed to stop being ccollected in 1997 after an extended bond payment period. That being said, I travelled a ton over it during the last month. I hate the thruway. If you're coming into the state from Canada, take the 37 exit on the...

We're at the TA in Albuquerque. Finally got a nice long run, with good pay to go with. Now if I can just get this POS rigmaster working...

I have a little experience in this arena, so I'll chime in (look at my handle). I have worked for the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of SHAPE, and NATO Commander. If you've gone into a a military installation, the detection dog searching your vehicle/person/belongings was...

It would be a great t-shirt, if I could understand it. Mind translating? Wish I'd have known, Jack. Hadn't seen my sister in almost a year before this month, and have now been through or laid over at her house 4 times since. She's in western NY and my Puerto Rican spousal unit cooked us all...

You suck. I'm just sayin'.

I would kill to be in your shoes, layout. When we were out west, we stayed busy. Long runs, good money. We've been stuck on the east coast since a home break last month. I should not complain, however. Got a load from Owings Mills, MD, to Toronto, that took us right by sister's house for...

In prison, having met and married by beautiful much better half there just one year prior. True story. I was a shift supervisor of corrections officers. Thought I'd better explain.

How about accidentally walking into the women's restroom tonight instead of making one more step to get to the hallway/coffee bar I needed to be in? I thought it odd that there were a whole lot of women in there to be getting coffee this late at night. Then I saw the mirrors. Yep. I got a...

At the Petro in Bordentown, en route to a 0700 delivery in NYC.

That's news to us, Bob & Linda. When we were at orientation, we specifically asked that (as we were told the same thing you just stated), and were given a brochure for NASE, which anyone can get. If I am missing something, please guide me. I am in a similar boat. We have to satisfy the better...

Looks like just the one load for the week. Sitting at the J in Pennsville Twp./Corney Point, NJ. Good time to catch up on paperwork, start taxes, and work on father-in-law's mortgage. I may actually get the satellite dish mounted today.

Went in service yesterday afternoon in W. Michigan, and left for Chicago a few hours later. Much more freight there, and we thought we'd expose ourselves to it. We were right, as we're headed to NJ tomorrow. Pay is not the greatest, but it is profitable for us and our truck owners. Nice...

The randomness, or irregularity in the type of search is, in and of itself, a psychological deterrent. I realize that we as a 'community' are largely law-abiding, and try to have our feces coagulated long prior to an actual search. However, I am fairly certain there are those among us who...

I, for one, am dying to know the correlation of Gracie being pregnant and Phil's inclusion in said exclamation have to do with one another. I kid. Sitting for a day, and the penitentiary humor is getting the better of me, once again. I'm new to the biz, and like the numbers we've...

Must be a flashback from my years in the penitentiary rearing their ugly head, Turtle. That's a story for another day. Speaking of the truck washes (we were, weren't we?), a guy just walks by the truck where parked, and I knew he wasn't the average lot scum (I know, I swore off truck stops)...
