It's extra Christmas spending money.

I saw that truck, or one exactly like it, just the other day. I think it was on I-80 just east of Toledo. Friday. I was heading to Sandusky and it passed me heading in the same direction. I was surprised to see a sleeper that large on a truck that wasn't a household goods carrier, and it wasn't...

Happy Birthday to Lawrence AND Bigdogg!

No, that's more like Ranch Dressing. If you don't know the difference, then, whoowee, please don't go to the Cadillac Ranch.

A close second is someone who is blinded by their own vision. We know the failure rate for people entering this business, and that 90% figure you're probably scoffing and/or laughing at isn't far off. Those who enter this business driving their own cargo van (meaning, all vehicles other than a...

In all fairness, when I'm at home and need to to go Walmart or Kroger or Lowes, "It's aaaallll the waaaayyy on the otherrrrr side of toooowwwwnnnn!" It's like 2 miles. Maybe.

You weigh eighty four pounds dripping wet.

is from Kentucky.

Think of it as going from Detroit to see the Space Center, and you'll eat while you're there. In your case, you're going to take a weekend road trip to see Cadillac Ranch, a rootin' tooton' Texas tourist attraction if there ever wuz one. Then, as long as you're in the neighborhood, ya gotta eat...

Yeah, well, nearly everyone who's ever gotten into expediting has thought or said out loud, "I'm gonna get me some more trucks, hire some drivers, sit back and make a killing." Six months, maybe a year later, they look in the mirror and go, "Wow! Were you one stupid moron back then!" The...

A burning lamp being protected by the Fire Angels.

Well, that was for an eating contest. When you're just there to eat and you want to try the 72 pound steak, they don't put you on a small stage like that. They do, however, stream you live on the Internet. The Big Texan Steak Ranch - Live Stream

There's something really funny about that image being hosted at AngelFire.

Molly Schuyler not only ate one of the 72 ounce steaks, plus the side salad, baked potato, dinner roll and shrimp cocktail, in under one hour, she did it three times. Thirteen and a haf pounds of steak, plus a pound and a half of sides. And she did it all in 20 minutes. It's crazy, but true...

Well, 30% times a snotload of trucks. If the fleet were suddenly halved most those bonuses would have to go away. If you have enough trucks, then a penny profit can make you rich. Also, you're incorrectly assuming that the company trucks only make 30%. And you're completely forgetting the...

Yes, it was. Thanks. The museum in Huntsville should be a fun visit.

Never trust a psychic wearing a Band-Aid.

Yeah, but all-miles it's about a dollar a mile, and you sit for, like, 10 or 11 days a year at red lights. :D

Well, I see that I'm not the only one that caught the NY Times front-page editorial. I wanted to shoot it myself, but (a), I don't have a gun in the truck and (b), I don't want to shoot my laptop screen. The editorial is an insult to intelligence and critical thinking. There's not even a hint of...

Much ever. I don't know that there's ever been much running out west, but there's some. The farther west of the Mississippi River you get, the more iffy it gets. Depending on the carrier, you can run like crazy up and down the West Coast, though. Always? No. The overwhelming majority of the...
