Welcome to my home town. Be sure to wear your long johns it's really cold over here. I've blown snow out of my driveway three times in the last 24 hours and it needs it again. There have been 50+ car accidents that closed US131 both north and south of town but last time I knew the east west...

Great news and a great looking baby. I guess I had better get a wireless card or something. I missed the first post.

I've spent a lot of time on lighthouses more years ago than I care to think about. We generated our own power and had a battery bank that filled a large room. They provided training to maintain these systems but I've never had batteries and battery systems explained so simply by anyone. This...

There are those who will tell you that they were never slow in January. Especially this year. My belief is that they are either very lucky or being less than truthful. January has always been my slowest month of the year. It also seems that size does matter. The smaller the truck the slower...

You were on my mind WE 5 The first time I ever heard it I was in Cape May NJ and feeling sorry for myself. Sitting there on a 36 hour pass, first time away from home.

Thou shalt not graze overly long at the buffet.

I think maybe someone thanked me once for being early but that was it.

I almost always leave a dollar in the shower. If the place is a mess...no buck. As far as the mechanic goes, I seldom tip someone that's making more than me. When they go out of the way to give good service the six pack or pizza idea seems more in line. I can't imagine tipping at the Blue...

At least you brushed your teeth. I've meet a few that don't seem to take the time. I don't wear uniforms either but my jeans are pressed and so are my shirts. Well, they're pressed when I pack them. Sometimes they don't fare too well in the bag. But I try. It always amazed me when I would get...

I spent 30 years in outside sales and all that time I really wanted to drive a truck. I made very good money in sales and I was fairly good at it but it really didn't suit my personality. I worked my way into management but all that did was increase the pressure. One day I saw a really neat...

I've been thinking about this for a while. I'm thinking about making a change but I currently have a good source for disability insurance and also a really good rate on passenger insurance. If I make a change I'll loose my source for this coverage. Does anyone know of an agent where I can get...

I had a young dog that chased the milk truck and caught it. He never got to be an old dog, jusr road rash.

I'd never turn down a load to Laredo and this time of year especially. Still, in the summer when it's hot enough to melt the glasses off your face it does detract a little bit. I just don't like the place. There are several places I really don't like but a load is a load so I'll go there. I'll...

they remodeled the Flying J in West Memphis so now it isn't nearly as bad as it was. It seems cleaner too. I've really not had much luck with my company getting loads out of that area so I avoid it as much as possible. Besides, it's not exactly a vacation paradise.

I have several games I play that can burn up hours and hours. I also enjoy movies quite a lot. Now that I have downsized to a Sprinter I can explore when I'm in an interesting area. I especially enjoy museums and old ships like Patriot Island in Charleston SC. I really really hate to sit but it...

I don't think I'd like Laredo even if they could get me back from there like they claim they can. The place just doesn't have a friendly feel .. if you know what I mean. Man I hate that place.

What's the deal? I go away for 10 days and I find you kids fighting when I get back? Play nice. By the way what do the other drivers think when your truck is rocking while you're working out? Personally this old chubby guy gets tired even thinking about it. Maybe I should work out just a little...

Time to start over. 2006 was an uninspired year for me. It seemed like it was worse than it was. Anyway, here we go for a new year. I hope everyone has a safe and profitable new year.

Sounds like a really good deal. Makes me miss my old truck. good luck. I hope everything works out well at Landstar.

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver I've been at this for about four years now and in two different sized trucks. I'd say I was still a newbie. The people on this site have been very helpful but sometimes I was disapointed because there was no easy magic cure for my problem...
