    Just got #7 for this week. Warren MI to Holland MI. Didn't plan to go home this weekend, but that's really close to home. Plus it's been a great busy week. I could go home and hang Christmas lights and get the snow blower ready and put up the driveway markers. Unless the freight gods have other...

    Great week. Pickup #6 from KY/TN border city to Livonia MI. Delivers Saturday morning. That still leaves time for another weekend load!

    LOL. I just might try spending the next 2 months after Christmas in CA. Maybe we can find enough local stuff to keep me busy. Worked well last year. Missed all the big snow and cold while sitting in CA.

Following that I got a Muncie IN (less then 1 mile DH) to Altoona PA. Did 4 good loads already this week. Took tonight off and got a room to get some...

    At the Detroiter. Any one else here? I could use a second pair of hands for about 2-3 minutes to help change the timer on my Espar.

    Expediter in desparate need of help

    Wish I could help but I'm nowhere near Texas. But I got broadsided by some short quick running animal in Texas a few weeks ago. Dented the door, no blood or hair. Didn't even scratch the paint. My brother got broadsided by a deer in WI. Wiped out a front fender and his door. This is my van door...

    No complaints here! And they understand the importance of home time. They work hard to get you home when you request it. Plus, no escrow or Qualcomm fees. All dispatch is by text and email. Plus no charge to the drivers for the Macro Point tracking they use. Many satisfied drivers here. Brought...

    Was home all last weekend. Took a Monday morning load from Waukesha WI to Alexandria MN. Now a load from MN back to Pewaukee WI. That's way too close to home to risk going back out. Guess I'll start my long weekend tonight. Back in service next Monday. This gives me time to get new tires...

    Is there a Espar alternative?

    Your right about that. I spent about 10 hours installing mine. Plus had to have a shop drop the fuel tank so I could cut and install the fuel pickup. Lots of cutting, drilling, wire routing, and rereading the instructions. It's probably worth the installation money unless your really handy in...

    The new Ford Transit Full Size

    Early numbers have the Transit getting close to Promaster numbers. Promaster numbers are falling while Transit numbers are increasing. Neither has passed Sprinter numbers alone but combined they are really starting to hurt the Sprinter sales. All are ahead of Nissan.

    I assume you know I'm talking about Tim. He's working on getting his van owner to let him put the van with CRE exclusively.

    Got a friend sitting in Armarillo TX. He's wanting to know if that's a good location to get a load out? Or should he possibly head to OKC? I can't help him because I've never been there myself. He DH out of Vegas after being stuck there since last Sunday.

    Ctx

    Only been home since late Saturday night. Told Murray I'd be ready to roll again on Tuesday. Murray gives me very little rest! LOL. An 08:00 Tuesday pickup about 8 miles from home. Now I'll stay out here until close to Thanksgiving. Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, whenever I get too close to go...

    Where are you in Texas? I got to Laredo Tuesday late morning and was out by early afternoon Wednesday. I thought things were getting better down there. Maybe I just got lucky!

    Wow, some vans are really slow. I went back in service on Thursday Oct 30th after a week of home time. I've done an IL to KY then onto GA (double load), an OH (paid DH) to Laredo, Laredo to KS and now booked on an OK to MI. Then I'm going home unless they book a load while I'm between OK and MI...

    Sitting in Nashville. Would like to get out of here. Was at the TA downtown. I decided to leave after talking to the night manager. This is what the night manager said. The young female night manager says I'll have no problem parked in front. They have 2 security guards on weekends! Stay away...

    More like 15:00 est, I stopped for lunch on the way back. But, I need to return the rental car and pickup my van. Anything I pick today or tonight needs to have some nap time built in!
