    Put Out Of Service

    Just as bad as being OOS WYK(without your knowledge), is being posted in the wrong city. A few years back I emptied in a small town near Knoxville and went to Knoxville to wait. This was very early AM on a Friday. I checked in Friday afternoon and was told they had bid a few and we just hadn't...

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    I was doing this with the info from my day planner, so I went back and checked my logs. I delivered early AM the 18th, making it a 48 hour run. My bad. I guess headquarters heard me yelling. My month will be topped off with Romulus, Mi. to Atlanta, Ga. The truck's doing well, I really like it.

    The exciting world of a straight solo

    Are you worried?

    What's even more messed up with agriculture is that we have farmer's receiving subsidies to NOT grow things. My former father-in-law quit farming to take a regular job and continued to take his subsidy for years. He would get irritated when I told him he was taking money from me and other...

    Warning about Streets & Trips 2008

    My Garmin does that too. Sometimes to the point of being just plain stupid. I picked up in Jasper, In. When I got back to I64, the ramp to go west was closed so I followed the posted detour. Of course, the Garmin is recalculating along the way. When I got back to 64, it wanted me to go east in...

    Sex on the road.

    David, I've got a holder with suction cups for my ez pass. I got it at the Petro in Elkton, Md. I don't recall the price but I'm sure it was less than $10.

    Your first time

    It was either Rod Stewart and the Faces or Elton John. After 35 years, I just can't recall which came first. I do recall the ticket prices, $4.50! Rod Stewart had Badfinger and some other band opening. During set change there was the "Rock n Roll Circus". The highlight was some guy hanging by...

    Baby Jessica, 20 years later

    Baby Jessica is the girl who fell into the well. I hadn't heard about the suicide, but I have to think there was more there than just the well incident. That may have compounded whatever else was going on in the guy's life. I mean, it wasn't the kind of trauma like being at a plane crash or...

    An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Now

    RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Alan Greenspan was quoted on one of the Sunday talk shows that there was a 50/50 chance '08 would be a recession year. Even the Great Greenspan has no clue! So, should we be doing anything different? Those that are on sound financial ground...
