    I'll most likely be at the house until the funeral early next week.Funny how things work out, I had an extremely good week early this week, and the last load was supposed to empty out in Tulsa, but got bumped until the next day, so they found me one delivering to Toledo yesterday, which enabled...

    I swear by Chicken noodle ringo soup, plenty of vitamin c tablets, and cold medicine all at once, with a few shots of whiskey.Works good. I hope you two get better,but at least it ensures you with quality time together.Make a fire, watch a romantic movie, and make the best of it, right?

    New charges coming at Pilot

    What's even worse is those who don't have a clue to what their cost per mile is ....at all, or what makes that cost per mile..Really scary.Real educational about the fuel, I printed it out and put it in my folder with my other truck maintenance facts.Thanks for the input. Gotta go shopping...

    You are absolutely correct,it makes more sense to eat at a non-truckstop place, where you get better quality and nicer atmosphere for the same price.One more good thing about being in a van. That I dont have a problem paying for.Although the Petro has a heck of a steak dinner on special right now...

    Well good morning, you toe wiggler, you!!! I'm sorry, but did I offend you in some way to generate a reply with the tone to it such as yours? Here's the deal.With it being the T/A, I sat down and ordered the fish dinner, thinking it was like any other T/A.No menu was needed or asked for...

    Youre right.T/A's have a dirty look and feel to them.The floors always look dirty, even though they are freshly mopped.I get the feeliing from most that they are doing me a favor by being there. Althought the Albert Lea Travel Center is noticeably cleaner and more hospitial than other...

    Getting a word in edgewise!

    Ain't that the truth!! But an excellent person to talk to, and, like I have said before,would make an excellent radio talk show host.

    The sad thing is, my Cobra 7700 pro gps lists only the major players-none of the mom and pop truckstops. Walmart travelcenters? That's all we need, more foreign crap here, putting more out of work.92% of goods sold at Walmart are from foreign countries, another 4% of the goods there are from...

    Dodge Sprinter Steering concerns.

    I am thinking the bearing plate may be going bad? It's a plate that the strut assembly rides on between itself and the shock tower, tat allows everything to turn as you turn the steering wheel.This is what I am thinking, if it has this type of setup.A Cadillac that I used to have did that and...

    Cargo van extra window?

    I went to Autozone and bought 2.5% window tint and tinted my rear windows so anyone cant see what I am hauling.It is real easy to do, and takes about 1/2 hour to do.Side doors have no windows, and have thought about buying a set of doors with no windows for the rear as well.

    Run on my own authority or go with big guys

    So basically youre working for free half of the timeyoure working..Van or not, when it is moving, every effort should be made to keep it loaded.The one-way freight mentality is a sure recipe for financial disaster.

    But why run empty after each load? Turn those empty miles into profitable miles and utilize yourself even more, putting more money in your pocket in the long run.
