I'm at home in Alpena, Mi. Ballot cast and ready to move some freight.

Well said! I deadheaded 150 miles to do my civic duty. I guess I should jump in the shower and get to it.

???? Per Diem covers meals away from home. If you're not away from home...??

Freightliner in Saginaw. I'm spending to much time in the shop lately. I love my job!

Brycey, one thing to keep in mind is that expediting ebbs and flows with the economy in a big way. Freight's strong right now, more so than we've seen in a while. This is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year. You can expect the 1st quarter to slow down. Vans that are gonads to the...

Beaverdam, Ky.

...Mayor Bing used to play some basketball. He musters up a vertical leap that makes him look far younger than he is and grabs the cat, dribbling him safely to the side of the road. The Fox News crew arrives and Megan Kelley (hubba, hubba) asks Bing for a comment. He says...

Kind of an abrupt halt to that thing...

I'm at the J in Indy doing a reset after a great week. I'll head up to Saginaw tomorrow for a Monday morning delivery. Being only 135 miles from the house I'll head home to do my civic duty Tuesday. Hmmm, anyone think I should "vote the bums out"? On the NY subject, I don't do Manhatten, but...

Not quite... If a CV is seen swerving all over the road at 0430 and is pulled over, the officer will probably cite the driver for driving while fatigued and put him OOS. HOS doesn't have to come into play. Edit: I just re-read what you wrote and I'm thinking you meant illegal? Or, I guess it...

Would we be in a lot of trouble if those things collided?

Yeah, right. You probably don't believe in Santa or the Easter bunny either.

It didn't scare me, but it does suggest some kind of therapy might do you some good. Or, on the other hand, maybe I need some help, because I've never even come close to wishing I was carrying a weapon. Not even for a fraction of a second. And I've been to inner city areas that are as bad as it...

I'm not so sure about that. Every time I've been to Honda, Toyota, ect., there's been other expediters there. Every time. The Big 3, (yeah, I know Greg), don't expedite anywhere near the way they did in the '90s.

Mine's an auto shift, not automatic. I'm sure the gearing in my 6-speed trans helps with the mileage. I'm not sure what the numbers are on the gearing.

No, I am the egg man, koo koo ka choo.

I think I'm getting a little verklempt...

Turtle's post is a must read for any newb, absolutely a sticky. As far as getting more miles, as a contractor you're at the mercy of the carrier. You'll get the miles they see fit to give you when it's your turn. When you deliver you'll go into the dispatch rotation and wait til you're next...

Mine has a 4.78 and I get as high as 12 mpg.

Picking up in the morning for Wilmington, N.C. Great place for golf!
