Hi all. Just catching up on posts. Same old deliveries, but double the money with the sprinter and lots of home time too, been staying out in dark parks till 4 in the morning with the wife playing Pokemon. Neither one of us have walked this much in 10 years...

In all truth, local pays just as well as expedite now that American rates are in the toilet...500 dollars for 8 hours work and 200 miles...

6000 miles a week? That's a hard way to make a living:D

36 loaded mile run, 131 empty miles:rolleyes:...figure I scratch their back they'll scratch mine...dispatch has been great so far

Only tried that once, got woke up by a park Ranger after 2 hours asking if I was OK and if I was alone in there At 20 bucks a day I'd have to go hunting for food too, that's too much for me

Stay cool everybody. Thought I was OK until I slept 12 hours and I'm still tired Much nicer today, 91 in the shade

It's grilled all right

Oh, that's useful. So a scan tool is needed to see the interior temp...

I do a good amount of local to fill in between expedite runs. Expedite still pays better, but being home same day and doubling up runs makes up for a lot. I've heard it's a hard day doing an Amazon run, piece rate and home deliveries. But better than sitting. Expedite I find air freight and...

I think to make it you have to mix in lots of local, Canadian expedite only deliveries aren't where they used to be...look for a company with their own customers If you're worried about empty miles, the best solution would be to move to the United States...

Yes it is. Talking about the heat I was sitting in tho Or is 121 F just normal to you? This poor Canadian got fried

Wimps. Here's the Temps in my van while moving (It actually hit 49.5 C which is 121 F) Started last night in PA at 11c (52 F) and it just kept getting hotter (as I drove northeast!) . Now home and under the comfort of an air conditioner roof, contemplating the sprinter condenser on the front...

Had to post my cab temp while driving with the windows down Think it's a record (49.5 c is 121.1 F)

Got one of those galaxy units before they disappeared at Pilot. Was great in the winter, had a couple warnings about trucks sliding backwards downhill I avoided...spilled an entire pot of coffee on it a couple years ago and I've been afraid to plug it in

Just had the best dream. Flying down the highway on my motorcycle with a modified windshield washer squirting coffee in my mouth

Ever since they let the price get to 4.40 a gallon I've been trying to get my money back...they stole from me first:p

So my idea that since it wasn't on a sign not to use the plugs at a truck stop it was OK wouldn't have gone very far...

Like sleeping in a vehicle:p

Welcome! Your username wouldn't happen to be a reference to very old tech would it?

I just hope these apps aren't creating a false idea of cheap shipping like I think they are. Every bit counts if it's worth the hassle I guess
