    Who's staying out this weekend?

    Since I am about 2000 miles from home, I will probably stay out here. I have not been East of the Mississippi for about 3 weeks now. Some idiot keeps accepting loads going west. :D Not much van freight out here that I can see. I sure would like to go east for a change. Never thought I would...

    Nastiest Truck Stop on the Planet

    I vote for the one just east of Little Rock on 40. I think it is a Petro. Scary place, and mucho nasty.

    All companies pretty much the same

    I have heard a lot of people express the opinion that all expediting companies are pretty much the same. I could not disagree more. :cool:

    Missing boards

    Does anyone know why the Memphis board does not show up when I am in Russellville, Arkansas? Boards farther away than that show up.

    Grass always looks greener

    This is the greenest grass I have found so far, and second place isn't even close. Of course I have limited experience having been with only two other carriers. Wish I had come here to start with.

    Why do you do this?

    We get paid to do this? Ok now I know I love this. I second the Col's reasons for why I am doing this. I have been going places since I was born, and it is even better to get paid to go places.

    Fondest Trucking Memory

    My fondest memory was taking my 16 year old daughter from Michigan to LA, and all up and down the coast for a week. One night we spent the night in a Eucalyptus planting, and watched the Pacific Ocean under a big moon. She enjoyed Vegas, and South Central. So did I. I still talk to her on...

    How much money do you make?

    I give ballpark figures with explanations of what makes it go up and down to the best of my knowledge. It has never offended me as I never thought someone actually wanted to know how much I make, but rather how much could they make. I am always glad to answer questions about expediting, with...

    Canada Ultra Low Sulpher Diesel

    Does anyone know if USLD is available in Canada? I could not find any in Manitoba or Saskatchewan when I was there. I was told it was not available in Canada. Unfortunately people are always willing to tell you what they know even when they know nothing. I think I spelled sulfur wrong haha...

    toyota

    I have hauled Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai. Not really sure where that last company is owned. I made a lot of money making Toyota and Honda parts for years. I remember going to a UAW union office to deliver a book once, and the sign said no foreign vehicles allowed in the lot. Guess they...

    Confounded by Big Cat Giveaways

    They must not love me, I didn't get a message. And yeah, a mini or dry run is not a negotiated first out.

    Panther is cleaning House???

    I admit it, I have hauled several 40000 lb TT loads in my Sprinter. I just use pallet shrinker fluid, and fill the empty space with Helium balloons.

    Load boards

    Ha yeah, there was a van in Cinebar, but it moved to the Island with me. I am not really on the island, and the other van was probably in Tacoma at the J. The J in Ellensburg is different than any I have seen so far. Haven't been to George, but I am thinking of going to Martha for breakfast...

    Load boards

    Thanks for the answer. I wish I was south east of Seattle at the free shower place. Unfortunately that would cost me that coveted first place position as it is a different board.

    Load boards

    I took an empty move to Coupeville, Washington, and when I put it in my GPS, it told me to contact the Washington Ferry System to see when the ferry runs. :eek: I just went close to it on the mainland. Does anyone know how close you have to get to get paid for an empty move? I have called and...

    Unable to register for Bolt FIRST

    New medical, start up costs, and time lost, and trying to learn a new system. I guess a lot of money is a relative term.
