    OH no what will we do?

    You guys are reading it wrong. He's asking how independents will survive with J.B. Hunt still around. "How will us independent truckers ever survive 'without' the cut rate JB Hunt out of the industry."

    2009 year end revenue

    I'm glad to see '09 go, don't let the door hit you in the azz on the way out. I'm way down for '09, mostly because of a pathetic 1st quarter. I don't have numbers with me from previous years so I don't know exactly how much I'm down, but it's a significant amount. But, Obama's fixing...

    January 2010 Location

    Happy New Year everybody! I'm at the "J" in Wayland, Mo. Would this qualify as the middle of nowhere? I'll probably move closer to Chicago.

    OH no what will we do now

    We're trying to carry on in a world without Jerry Garcia and you're being sarcastic. You're cold Moot, very cold.

    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    Some would argue that integrating coolers into the golf bag was a big step forward in technology. But, there's a lot to be said for having a cute, perky little beer wench pull up on the beverage cart with a big smile, asking if anyone's thirsty.

    A day worth remembering...

    Nice pics, as always, Tude. I really do need to get a better camera than the one I have. The other morning in Laredo I had an 8 point buck helping me check my lights before I left for Houston. He actually waited for me to go get the camera, only to find out the light wasn't quite good enough...

    Question for owners

    Really? Then I guess you'd say that radically jerking the wheel to the point that you'd roll the truck would be an acceptable way to avoid hitting a deer? I've hit 3 in the last 25 years, 2 in a truck and 1 in my personal vehicle. The 1 in my pick-up truck I had enough time to react enough to...

    Mid-Atlantic Snow this weekend

    There's still no snow in Laredo, but it did get a bit dicey yesterday. It was overcast and a little breezy and for a moment I thought I might have to put on a sweater. I ended up being fine without one. Whoa! It's 80 in the sleeper, better fire up the Rigmaster for some A/C.

    I Just Received My EXPEDITE KING Card!

    Isn't this really a van only program anyway? I have the regular T/A card, and as a straight truck I see no reason to need a different one. I don't use the T/A much because so many of them are so ratty. Lots of those old, converted 76s really need to be torn down and built from the ground up. I...

    And now the Athlete of the Decade

    Wagering money when your in a position to directly influence the outcome of the game is pretty serious stuff. If you have true love for the game, why put yourself in that position? He got what he deserved, and that's not just because I think he's an arrogant pinhead.

    Who has it tougher and why?

    Leo's got it right. The perfect example would be the difference between me and Guido. He went from a straight to a van and is happy as he can be, wishes he'd done it sooner. Now let's go 180 degrees to me. I went from a van to a straight and I'm as happy as a pig in the stuff that makes a pig...
