    My first big problem...

    It's beautiful here in sunny Laredo. It's only about 94 at the moment, humidity is way down at 39%. It's supposed to get to 103 again today. Every day it's been between 101 and 106. And people live here. On purpose. I wonder if they let you swim in the river to cool off? be sure to report in...

    Internet access on road

    like rlent i pick the j. it is certain to work. there is an area for computer users to get out of the front lot and look at the world thru someone elses windows. ta has been spotty for me. works well in one spot and not at all in others. more often than not.

    cargo van sleepers

    maybe a final note, i don't know, the spartan cargo van has a width of 79" and stays pretty much within the width of the cab so a 75" sleep space could be carved out. they look pretty nice inside in the frp box.

    Don't be stupid (II)

    layout i still think "stupid" is too strong a word for what happened. anyone can have happen what you had happen. paying attention to what has been done is key. inspecting the work after it is done is the cya we all MUST do to prevent this happening.

    Drivers for Owner Operators

    one of the things that kills me is when the fuel receipts get totalled and put to the settlement. one week there is 1400$ in receipts for 1700 miles and the next there is 74$ for fuel over 1000 miles. seems to be no consistency in applying the fuel used to the settlement period. makes for great...
