    March into Spring 2020

    I guess my natural inclination when supremely comfortable is to sleep...got that knock on the van (wife and a daughter found me. I'm in my own driveway ;))

    Finally some off time. Enjoying the sauna I installed in the sprinter (heat pipe aimed directly into my sleeping bag) 10 minutes = no aches and pains. What luxury

    32 runs this month. And I had nearly a week off in between Investigating the possibility of depositing my pay in a tax free savings account - only withdrawing expenses. Gotta be some way to cut the useless government out In reading about that, somebody actually was defending our taxes saying...

    I understand now. People from Massachusetts and Connecticut are dyslexic and think 50 mph speed limit says 80 mph Been camped out away from home since Wednesday again pretending to be an expediter. February officially equals a normal quarter's income on its own Sent from my SM-A705W using...

    Well it didn't really slow down. In a 2 week period, I made close to my normal income for an entire quarter. I did have 4 full days off in that time, but the tax collector made it seem like work. Lost an entire day doing that. Something called "disclosure" the last step before jail I guess...

    Yep. I make quite the profit on that in a 2005 with 20 mpg, and $60 usd oil changes Not to say I won't take $1500 USD for 250 miles, I did all last week (Edit: ignore that if you are sensitive. You wouldn't have had the opportunity to get it anyway) (Further edit: I returned empty, despite...

    Story of my life. Even today, a nice 4 province run but they won't go under $1 a mile as corporate policy (no arguments here) Bids vs loads is about 5 to 1, and that's just what I hear about. I only get what others think is too.complicated or troublesome Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    Are we out of a job?

    Well, truck stops will be "travel centers" and cater to those on long trips, their new captive audience will be those charging their electric cars and needing something to do for an hour. I don't think those delivery trucks will be staying in the truck stops. They'll be staying in their...

    Are we out of a job?

    I forsee a time where there will be designated parking for these (like the lots you see trailers stacked up in - probably those same lots) and they will simply dispatch the closest driverless truck on demand. When? No idea. That delivery van has a top speed of 25 mph, so it may be a WHILE lol...

    Thanks Turtle. For that offhand comment you can break into a sprinter thru the small window. (Several years ago) I undid my license plate bolts with my fingers (which were numb from trying to pull the rubber around the window out) and used the license plate to pry around the window till it...
