I just had ours washed at the Blue Beacon at exit 6b on I-270 in Illinois, just east of St. Louis. They're kiddie-corner to the Flying J. I've had just 3 truck washes since we started this adventure; two of them at Blue Beacons. Complete pieces of crap. I will never spend mine or my owner's...

We're at the J in Phoenix. Delivered very early this morning to a power plant in upper slobovia, er, Page, AZ. Ran into a nasty snowstorm outside of Albuquerque, and were dead tired when we got to the J today. We've all but given up trying to get home (Michigan), and instead will focus on...

Too lazy to read the Wiki....for now, but remain in awe of the blackbird. There's one parked at the air museum just outside Eglin/Hurlburt complex in FL that I have pics of...somewhere. I very vividly recall having specs drilled into our head in basic training (the SR-71 was still a very...

Mental Giant- That crackhead was there yesterday, and called my wife 'sista'. If you'd like, I'd be happy to cart her up to Lenawee county for you..... Mod- Sorry for the 4-lettered words. Mild, IMHO, but not my site. I apologize. Maybe one of these days I'll actually read the TOS:)

I was there last Sunday night, as the rocket surgeons I subcontract for couldn't figure out with a phone call that the soda pop bottling place had been open on the Saturday when I really could have delivered the load. To top it off, I got these really wonderful two sets of directions on the QC...

This weekend, and this post, have really opened my eyes. I'm sitting here in the TA in Dallas, and, after having purchased 60 gallons of fuel, got my free night's stay here at the hotel TA. There is a Dallas police officer or Sheriff here 24/7 (wondering who they ****ed off to get this...

Forecast for Buffalo is wide right with a 90% chance of a skate in the crease. True Buffalonians, or Western New Yorkers know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm at the J in Tacoma, WA on I-5. Spent the last 2 weeks bouncing up and down CA and a little into SLC. Actually enjoyed warm weather in February, but am now ready to go home for a few days. Delivered in Delta, BC this morning. Hoping for a load other than Portland to Boise for a consumer...

I agree with you 100%, pjjjj, my Canuck friend. I should not be so cavalier in my business dealings. Maybe I'm just a slow learner. That being said, I have at least two things working in my favor: The verbal contract is the weakest link. I have spreadsheets showing runs, total dollars per...

If all of we Michiganders are here, then whose job was it to turn off the lights?

I had to laugh at your comments, flattop, as I am a former mortgage broker from your state. When our state's financial status started taking a dive, the NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids was interviewing a financial planner that had taken out a pay option ARM. The dingbat was crying about the...

Excellent idea, termite! I'd have been all over that original load like stink on poop.

Someone in the 'location' thread just suggested EO merchandise. FWIW, the better half does custom embroidery, and has access to wholesale hats/garments, should you ever desire some. Thought I'd leave you a message here, so as to not violate any TOS rules directly in the thread. Enjoy your...

I call bs. I firmly believe every expediting truck in the nation is currently occupying the 2 TA stops in Ontario, CA. Holy, moly, there are a ton of expediters here! That's where I am, for the second week in a row. I'm not complaining. Making money, two weeks running. I grew up very near...

Like pelicn, I am also thankful to spend my days right alongside my much better half. A year ago, I was a struggling mortgage broker, landlord, and home remodeler. I am now an expediter. I am a scant two weeks into this profession, and am having the time of my life! My wife is also...

While taking the pleasurable drive through Wyoming this week (sarcasm intended), I noticed that gas was $1.59 and diesel $1.99, FYI.

Only 2 loads under my belt. Second one has me a bit puzzled: 2 skids, each about 3' tall, of brand new, flattened cardboard boxes. That's right, cardboard boxes....empty ones. PU in Louisville, KY, delivered today in Lathrop, CA. Empty friggin' boxes over 2300 miles. No one knows how to...

What an exciting week! Left home late Sunday, and parked at a truckstop near our home, and slept. Got a few crap load opps the next day (got all excited when they did, but the money was bad), then took the last crap offer from Chicago to Evansville.....had to get out of Michigan. Picked up later...

Nashvegas......hahaha. I think you and I might be from the same neck o' the woods, mstar55ny. However, I haven't lived there in 21 years. Wife and I start our expediting adventure tonight, and we are super-excited, nervous, and anxious. Hope to see you out there!
