    Almost over 2015

    Fan-f-in-tabulos Not sure if it's one word, but after years of others, it's great to be in charge on me. Plus I have made friends with all my new EO brothers & sisters, some normal, some questionable - a wise man in a shell, AND, of course, that crazy old unkle from Bison!

    OK, let's remember what time of year it was. The late December miracle was already claimed 2100 years ago. So, grab on to the reason for the season - EggNog! 2 parts Bourbon to 1 part Nog. Once an hour for 10 days. You will have a great time, remember nothing AND when you wake up freight...

    Oh what a thought. Think about what Uber has done to the Taxi industry. It is only a matter of time until an APP arrives for our industry that posts freight available and EVERY driver see's it and the first one that bites gets it! No Bolt, no TriState, no Panther - Think shark feeding frenzy...

    WOW! That is a super good response. I had to check because I thought it was Turtle posting And to answer the question that started this post, my carrier has offered .50 to .65¢ with no FSC to get back out of the dead zone, which sucks - but (IMHO) is better than sitting. Are they pocketing...

    I could not take the North Jersey traffic. Lived there for my first 50. And today an 1800 sq ft 3 bedroom home is about $600,000 and real estate taxes at over $10,000 a year.

    I too pulled the plug, realizing that I was just as likely to get another Thursday Shortie in the wrong direction. Dropped in Marysville, "exit stage right", arrived in Jersey at 4 am. OOS for 2015 now? We'll see?
