In case anyone was wondering, there were 135 fires in Detroit on "Angels Night", 65 of which were classed as "suspicious". It took 35,000 volunteers on the streets to keep the numbers that low. If you can call that low. They wanted to get 50,000 out but fell short. I tend not to tell people I am...

WE have noticed the drop in the FSC as well and I know that it accounts for some of what we are seeing. We look at short mile loads the same way that you do. We have a good idea what we need to make per day, more important to us, than what we need per mile. A $4 dollar per mile load that is only...

We run on the same idea. We don't like to take too many short loads in a row unless they pay very well. We once got stuck in CA running one day loads that paid good per mile but it was a pretty bad week in the end. It is not always an easy call. The best of this bunch we turned down was barely...

Sounds like fun!!! I will bring the ice cream!!! layoutshooter

Not worried, just a little surprised. Some had a lot of dead head some did not. We are at least at home so waiting is a lot easier with home cooked meals, a clean shower and your own bed. We have an appointment on the 11th with Morgan to go over the specs for the new box. I am quite sure we...

I agree but I have NOT ever seen 11 in a row. That is how many we have turned down since Friday. It will turn around. We too have had a rough year outside of the business. Home problems etc. Now we have been out for a week with a dumb repair. Oh well, 2009 will be here soon. Layoutshooter

Anyone else been getting goofy load offers? Like WG loads with all the trimmings that only pay $1 per mile? Last 4 load offers have been that or less. We are home so we won't take loads like that. In fact we hardly ever take those kind unless it brings us home after we have been out for a long...

I think that every adult relative I had whopped me from time to time. Extended family. It has helped me as a driver, I have life long callasus on my butt from all the whoppens. Layoutshooter

Let's see, this is really too easy. Barstool economics is what Ted Kennedy goes by? Layoutshooter

Sure Russia will go in, in thier own goofy way. They are ready to sign a gas deal with Iran. Watch out, it is comming. Layoutshooter

We have been training them for years. It is one of the things we have been working towards. The problem is politics is soundbites and the real world takes time. Look how long we had to occupy Germany and Japan after WW2. Look how long we fought Russia after they started the occupation of eastern...

Strawberries too. Layoutshooter

Maybe they should raid Osama Obama's headquarters. Much higher concentration of bad guys there. Layoutshooter

Now I can see the pic OVM, close but it's the wrong finger!!! LOL. Layoutshooter

The biggest problem I see with that is it opens on the top. Kinda hard to use on my truck. I can't picture how to mount one in a way it can be used. Who is "Jimmy" and what does he have to do with Lowes? I must be missing something. Layoutshooter

So glad to hear your roof is on. At least that will stop any further damage. You can take time to fix the inside stuff. I know what a pain it is. We FINALLY put in the P.O. on the new cargo box today!!! YEA!!!!!!!! What a problem it was. It looks like it will be on the truck before the end of...

All of the above and then some. Layoutshooter

I used to get my butt whipped at school. Went I got home my mom would get me and then my dad would when he got home from work. What did all that child abuse get? A hard working responsible adult. A man that took care of his family. A non-criminal. A man that respects others. Yep, whoppin a child...

Don't you just love it when they sit in the fuel isle? We were once stuck behind a jack *ss for over 45 minutes. We could not get around him and we could not back up. Luckily were were 18 hours ahead of schedule and the lost time did not hurt us. Layoutshooter
