Depends on where we are at. It also depends on how the load offers are, or are not, showing up. 9 out of 10 times I will leave Canada as quickly as I can. We have seen fewer and fewer good loads out of there of late. We also have to leave to take advantage of the little bit of DH pay and F.S. we...

Our Governor in Michigan signed into law a new PRO-HUNTING law that takes affect now. It gives the DNR the power to run our hunting and fishing solely based on sound science and takes away the power from the goof balls like PETA and The American Humane Society and other sleaze like them. It...

Delivered this morning near Toronto. Now at the Petro on the N.Y. Throughway. Few load offers, fewer good ones, VERY OFFICIALLY bored AGAIN! :(

Let's see, as a federal employee I paid 60% of the cost of my health care plan. I paid 7% of my wages into a bankrupt retirement plan and did not get any credit with Social Security for all those years I was employed by the Feds. We were paid sub-standard wages and during the Carter years we...

You ALMOST have it right. It mostly happened over the late fall and winter when all good turtles are HiBurNaTiNg!

That's what you get for staying in your shell so long this spring! :p

I don't like to use them all that much. I prefer to get my work done when I am home. Sometimes you don't have a choice. Like my wheel seal and the brake problems that caused. It had to be fixed. I really don't trust the TA/Petro/Wingfoot's etc.

I have carried several particle accelerators in my time as an expediter. I have carried them for Colt, Barrett and Morton Thiokol to name a few!:p One of my very first loads had us moving some kind of bio stuff. The shipper was a real "nervous nellie". I asked him why he was SO nervous. He...

I just laughed SO HARD watching that kid and poor Mr. Ford trying SO HARD not to laugh. Great stuff. I don't know if you are aware that Mr. Ford was a navigator/bombardier in WWII. Check out this "Ghost Squadron" YouTube. Col Tennessee Ernie Ford singing the Ballad of Ghost Squadron. - YouTube

In days of old there used to be live television shows. Many of those shows would sing religious songs, hymns. It was a time when we could allow children to not only watch TV but participate, without worry about what they may see or hear. The combination often led to some wonderful TV. The link...

The roads are bad, in part, because of things like "light rail". Generally speaking those systems are money losers and are subsidized by taking money out of the transportation fund. The ONLY way public transit is going to work, and still have money to keep up the roads, is to insist that ALL...

Human life means nothing to a lot of people. It would seem that it may be the case with California law makers, not that it is all that surprising.

Must have been only to company owned then. Every time I swipe at one my info shows up.

Their computers are tied together. You do, however, have to swipe your rewards card. It is what it is. We try to use TA/Petro as much as we can. We get the best fuel discount at those chains.

We tend to sit in the truck. Why? One reason is that MOST of the drivers lounges at truck stops are far too filthy to sit in. The other reason is that it is easier to keep an eye on things if you are out there. Many of these shops have been known to take "short cuts" on work. Having a body in...

I have posted a link to a VERY interesting OP-ED in the WSJ from back in January. It echos what many sane people have been saying for a very long time. Control laws do NOT work. They often, as in this case, can lead to an INCREASE in crime and crime rates. There ARE better ways. It is obvious...

Looks like I-285 around Atlanta at 4PM on a Friday.

Infidels too.

I don't understand. Did you swipe your TA/Petro card? If so, all the info is there. I don't mind if they know I had work down there on my truck, get points too.
