That's something to take into consideration before accepting a load. Detroit and DC are two more places... nowhere to sit for at least a half hour out of the city. Of course, you could always ask the consignee if you can sit the truck on their lot till you're legal again. We've done that a...

What? No chatter? You guys have no "gromba". *bump*

We use the toll road because we carry time-sensitive material. Same reason we go across the Ohio Turnpike. Though, I had forgotten how much Ohio actually was until Friday... $18.75 for the whole trip. From DC to Chicago, it's three toll roads in succession, totalling almost $50 for a 3-axle...

It's not cheap anymore. Michigan is only a nickle more, on the avg. Not enough reason to buy in IN.

They haven't said yet. My guess, it'll be restrictive to big trucks, but not straight trucks. We'll see.

If you haven't heard, Indiana is leasing their toll road to a foreign conglomerate. The vote passed with the VAST majority of citizens against it... as much as 90% of northern IN voters. So... they'll be voted out next time. What does that do for us? In the first year, truck tolls will double...

Since the Indiana toll road sell-off, I'm joining a lot of other truckers in boycotting Indiana. Once it goes into effect, the truck tolls will double. At that time, no more fuel and no more food in Indiana for us. It's not like we're killing our own wallet either. $2.55/gal at the Petro on 69...

Beware of those portraying themselves as "holy", Christian or otherwise. It's a tactic that good-hearted fools are quickly duped with. Good to hear you got what was coming, and so did they! ;)

There's one that's even older than them. Three Kings Expediting had a load of hot dogs and beef from the mid-east to Bethlehem, if I remember correctly. ;-)

Say cheese! Cottage cheese, that is. :7

I scored in the negatives, and I didn't even take the test. :P :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Three days. I'd give it till the end of the week. I don't doubt your only way out of there, as a solo, is to get a load on Fri delivering on Mon. One thing I see a lot of ppl do is getting a load to BFE, and seeing dollar signs. When they get there, they think the load getting out will come...

Hotone... I'd rather slit my wrists, thank you. Hope you guys had a good celebration knowing that you were handed a SB. Probably not the kind of party I would've wanted to attend knowing my team was a non-deserving champion. :7 Can't say I blame the Stealers tho... unless some dressed up in...

Next time, ask how many are on their way there. Hard to believe six trucks were on their way when you accepted the load, but it could happen. How could you go from 6th to ninth? Unless three took minis from there... highly doubt it. Something stinks here, and it ain't Mexico. I've seen stuff...

$15,000 down and $2500/mo payments? That's why ppl go broke in this business! You always have to take into account one or both drivers not being able to drive, for one reason or another. Not to mention how good freight is from week to week. A couple bad months, you're looking at the poor house...

A baseball bat would most likely get you a ticket back to the US, if going across the border. Also, pepper spray is illegal there, and most likely, they would consider wasp spray as a weapon. Pitbulls are, in my mind, questionable. I remember hearing from someone that Canada was thinking of...

I haven't seen any of their trucks, so I don't have proof of the o/o part of the business. This leads me to believe they're brokering loads. Of course, I can see this changing very quickly. So far, we've pulled two loads for them. Both to TX.

I said THEY can talk about their government without getting arrested. Didn't say anything about outsiders talking about their religion, or stuff about car bombings.:P Also... how much of the resistance force is actually Iraqis? My guess is around 20-30%.

>Even with the political problems out there, this is still >the greatest country. Where else could you have this kind of >banter and not get arrested? Iraq and Afghanistan ;)

Louixo... if you're in California, it's been nice knowing ya. I hear they string up bug torturers. :(
