    Unplug the jetpack when it's not being used.

    March Locations and Nonsense...HAHA

    He figured out what the deal was with that mess. At the same time he had everyone in the building focused on finding me a load, which, frankly, is something they should do anytime a truck has been sitting for 100 hours, much less the 150 I was sitting. Thanks for making the call. :)

    March Locations and Nonsense...HAHA

    Might want to check on the brokered-out load from Miamisburg, OH to Jonesville, MI today. The unmarked Ford cargo van that was sitting next to me at the TA is the one who got the load. It most definitely wasn't three pallets. It was one box. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to conclude from that.

    March Locations and Nonsense...HAHA

    I know it's flawed logic, but clearly I have nothing but time to come up with such flawed logic. That, or I have to figure I'm on someone's crapola list or something. :D OTR cargo vans and auto freight don't mix, mainly because they're not tall enough moreso than because they're two pallets, so...

    March Locations and Nonsense...HAHA

    Based on the number of loads that the two pallet vehicles that have been sitting next to me for the last five days have gotten, and based on conversations with other drivers of two pallet vehicles who have been loaded more days that not over the past three weeks, I'm left to conclude that...

    Cargo vans/Sprinters not welcome at Flying J in Houston

    The Michigan rules apply ONLY to vehicles plated and registered in Michigan, or running for companies operating out of Michigan. You stated, unequivocally, that "Anytime you do not have lettering on your van, you are in clear violation of DOT regulations," which again is not true. It's a...

    Cargo vans/Sprinters not welcome at Flying J in Houston

    Which word? Never mind, doesn't matter, I understand them both. Yeah, so? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Because "commercial hauling" is not the definition of Commercial Motor Vehicle. Not if they're not hauling a trailer. Unfortunately, all of the inaccuracies are...

    Another day another TA. Well, it would still be the same TA, but I didn't want to wear out my welcome at the one in Florence after five days, so I moved down to the one in Walton.

    For Android there's My Data Manager that tracks data usage per app. Also, depending on which version of Android you're running, in the Settings, Data Usage, there's the same thing. For the insanely great iPhone version, you can fine it here.

    Cargo vans/Sprinters not welcome at Flying J in Houston

    It's certainly not because the DOT requires it. The DOT only requires DOT numbers on Commercial Motor Vehicles, of which Sprinters are not. Your statement of, "Anytime you do not have lettering on your van, you are in clear violation of DOT regulations," is simply not true at all. DOT...

    Thanks Guys!

    Michigan is like the duck capital of the world. It should have been the first state with the plate. About time.

    Thanks Guys!

    Wow. I'm surprised that Michigan didn't already have that. That's why I've never noticed a Ducks plate in Michigan, I guess. Kentucky got the Ducks plates in 2000, and I just assumed the other states did, too. In Kentucky the plate is $31 a year (plus a $14 initial fee that first year). $10 of...

    Adding # to speed dial

    You just need to enter a pause (or 3) in between each set of numbers. With most phones you simply enter a comma, with some phones you enter the letter "p" for pause. The pause is usually about one second, so you may need to enter several in a row to get the timing right...

    It's pretty simple, really. One can have a contrary opinion and disagree with the Code of Conduct all they want, but when they agree to abide by it in order to post here, and then they decide their contrary opinion about it is more important and they post in contradiction to what they agreed to...

    They were not. They were not quite as bad as March is thus far. Buuut it's close. Three days for doctor appointments, and two days for minor repairs. Other than that, no time off since the first week of January.
