You were probably there for a while but I was hooked on a computer game and unaware of my surroundings. I would have stuck around until you showed signs of life but I had already told dispatch I was relocating. Next time I'll buy coffee and you can tell me why peculiar isn't a very appropriate...

I spotted OVM in the Peculiar MO flying J last week. He was sitting in the passenger seat and obviously dozing so I moved on without disturbing him. Peculiar seemed like a very appropriate place for him to hang out. I also spotted Terry at the Pontoon Beach J but he was working so I left him...

2 mounted aircraft tires to under the concourse at the Philly airport. Had to go out on the runway (escorted) to deliver them. I think it was the Delta concourse but I don't remember so good. A small jet engine to an aircraft dealer in the Jackson TN area. An auger attachment for a tractor...

I feel your pain

I have no experience with Transtewart but I hve to agree with you on Expressway. Great folks and strait shooters.

Business is slow but the pay is on time and right on the money.

YUP ..... I do

I think I need to thank these guys for this thread. Times are hard right now and I'm frustrated but I think we become our own worst (worstest??) enemy sometimes. Sitting and thinking about all this stuff just gets the juices flowing and we get mad. I was feeling sorry for myself all last week...

Jmore1276. This very thing happened to me in 2001 and with the same company. I did not get my money for 6 months and then only because I contacted my lawyer. I have had experience with other companies and I have not been treated unfairly by any of them. This seems to be something that these...

I have always used the Flying J because they seemed to be the most expediter friendly truck stops. When I changed from a D truck to a Sprinter they were the only truck stop chain where I could earn a free shower with my loyalty card. Lately though, I have noticed many of the locations going down...

I'm sure this has happened to someone else recently but I looked for it on here and couldn't find it. The "J" in Waterloo IA will not allow you to park out in their front lot anymore. They want you to park in the truck lot or move on. Obviously, since I drive a Sprinter and I'm not welcome among...

Yes - I saw it, and no - I was not unmoved. I believe Mel's intent was to slam me between the eyes with a two by four and it worked. I believe it was a fairly accurate portrayal of the events that occurred and it was very well done. Still. I don't think that I want to see it again.

"To Each His Own" by Eddie Howard. October 4, 1946. I never heard of it but I was kinda young at the time. Thanks for making me feel really really old. I searched the internet but it was not available on any of the sites I tried. It must be obsolete.

I think there must be some consideration for age in this here line we're in. When you think about the speed of government action in most instances, there is little chance of relief in my lifetime. I have established a lobbying agency to represent old, ugly, balding, and chubby Sprinter drivers...

I plan long runs around one or two 2 hour naps. If the run has no room for those naps I turn it down. I'm usually quite refreshed after a 2 hour nap and ready to roll. I stay in motels when there is no room in the truck or if it's in the shop. The only other thing that may make me get a room is...

I did listen to XM but my favorite channels repeated so much that I didn't renew this year. I listen to local channels and audio books. Oh...., and I did still hear my water pump when it decided to give up the ghost. I'll have to admit the steam was a fairly good clue too.

I use my Credit card for fuel, some meals, and the occasional motel. I pay it before it's due. The thought of paying interest causes this old scottsman to have heart palipitations, shortness of breath, and itchy watery eyes..

Happy New Year from the old chubby guy to all of you

I guess it doesn't really matter how you get your pulse rate up.

Ah yesssss. We had those little beauties in the 30' and 40' crash boats back in the old U.S.C.G.. Those things sounded great. That was back in the 60s so we called them Jimmys because they were made by GM Diesel. There was no such thing as Detroit Diesel yet. They were great engines and easy to...
