What Greg said.

I would not draw many conclusions from such a story. It is far easier to find a story about children that killed their parents than it is to find internet rage stories like this. Does that mean that people should not have kids because of the risk that your children may one day murder you?

We are home. Picked up in Akron, delivered 42 miles from home. Staying put for a couple days to go through mail and do truck maintenance. Otherwise, we'd be running.

Here we go again. :(

Do you have a photo of the truck that you can share here?

If a driver does not know how to get from point A to point B in the expediting business and does not know how loads are dispatched, that driver would do well to make a careful study of the numerous previous posts on such topics here in the Open Forum. Open Forum members who have sat with...

While the study results are impressive, it seems to me that benefits of nitrogen-filled tires came not from the nitrogen itself but from the fact that with nitrogen, the tires maintained proper inflation longer than with ordinary air. It's not about nitrogen. It's about proper tire inflation. A...

Long post, about 2 printed pages. Those who object to long posts should skip this one.) Keeping a diary or personal journal is a time-honored activity. The continually-developing internet now gives people the ability to publicly share their entries. An online diary or journal is called a web...

Diane and I run a class 8 Volvo straight truck and the front end is NOT too heavy. Front axle weight is a function of many things. If we moved the rear axle a few feet back from its present location, the weight on the front axle would increase. If we put a bigger sleeper on the truck and...

A driver's CDL is one of his or her most important assets. No CDL, no truck-driving career. One's CDL should be protected at all costs. Law firms that serve truck drivers advertise in trucking publications. They are familiar with each state's system. While Diane and I have never had cause to...

It will be a few days for the blog post. We're busy now and heading into Canada where roaming charges apply. We stay offline then. Back to the original topic. I believe the prototype truck was built on a used Argosy chassis. I think a new one now would be built on a new cab and chassis. It is...

When I view the coach, my mind goes not to RV but to expediter straight truck; a shorter coach up front and a freight box in back. Regarding the blog piece, it disappeared without notice or explaination. I plan to repost it. Start a topic on blogging of your own if you wish. I can make my...

Not bored here. This poetic burst is an entertaining change.

Rich, Will you be writing anything about your travels and experiences? I envy the opportunity you had. It got you face to face with a number of people at a number of carriers, and with expediters on the road too. I think folks would be very intersted to hear about what you learned and observed...

Sorry we'll miss it. For the same reason we missed MATS, we'll miss the Expo; we have a truck to pay for and a goal to do so within a particular time frame. Better to run than to take time off for deadhead and show attendance. Maybe next year.
