Loaded PA to Urbana OH, then going home. Pre dispatched for Monday going up to Richmond BC. That's a 2,300 mile run, delivers Friday. Not seeing the slow first quarter! It seems like we're all busy based on what I see on EO. That a great thing!

I do have the correct size "E" range Firestone truck tires, so that's not a problem. And it was 2 equal weight 48" skids, on my short van it was very evenly loaded. Being its a 3500, even loaded like it was, it didn't look overloaded. I know I see 1500's on the road that look like they have no...

Another stupid van question about weight. My van weighs 6,160 with me, my gear and full of fuel. I took a heavy load to get out of Atlanta. The load was 3,368 plus my van weight of 6,160 for a total of 9,528. Thats almost right at my 9,600 door sticker. Question is, at scales do they go by what...

Sat about 24 hours in Mississauga Ontario, needed the sleep anyway. Got a load from right where I was, going to Exton PA. Been a busy week with almost no DH. I'll be sitting at 2,400 miles by midnight tonight.

Started with a shorty Monday morning, Milwaukee to Monroe WI, paid both ways. By the time I got back they had a load from Milwaukee to Atlanta. Before I even got to Atlanta they had a load for me from Atlanta up into Ontario. Sure doesn't seem like the quarter is starting slow. Second great week...

I'm in. I need to lose weight and a challenge might be exactly what I need.

I have the Professional Driver card and you get a free shower after two 15 gallon fills. I also have the RV card for 2 cents off per gallon. I use Pro Card twice, then use RV card for the next few fills. Works well, free showers and gas discount. And they both work at the pump. No need to...

Florida was my first request. Now just need some frt.

Problem is most drivers aren't on this site. So, they have no clue that their doing anything to hurt rates. Need to put cards on windshields! And I don't have a "slow" cargo van, mine rolls along really well. LOL

Anyone else hear a vacuum? Finishing 2nd load for the week later this afternoon. Over 2,650 miles this week. Going home for tonight (20 miles) and requested a relaxing southern bound weekend load. Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada or California. I'll see what they can do. OVM, thanks...

Never mind. Just got a load going back to Racine WI. Happy camper!

Empty up in Saskatoon SK. Been empty since noon Monday. Hope something happens today.

Always North Portal. Less Canada road miles, their gas is about $4.25 - $4.50 a gallon. And yes, CNH load.

The Ford people are very aware of the 10,000 law and stated to me that they will be just below that number with the srw. No worries!

How did we get from the van into the laundromat??? LOL

Pre dispatched for Sunday morning. Milwaukee to Saskatoon SK again for Monday early afternoon delivery. I go there so often I know where I'm fueling, eating and sleeping before I even leave home. LOL. With the SK runs, if I don't get a load its a good week, if I get a return load it becomes a...

Got lucky yesterday. Two different shippers both near Milwaukee with freight going to the exact same delivery address in Burlington IA. Picked up yesterday afternoon, went home and got some sleep and now I'm sitting at my delivery address. Got paid for both loads. Cha Ching!

I think with today's new Diesel engines and their problems and expenses, I'll stick to my gas van and Pilot/Flying J for now. When I get my new long, tall Ford, it will also be gas powered.

Decided to give the TA in Kingsville OH a chance tonight. Same problem at the pump, no way to swipe your rewards card. But, I'm eating at the Country Pride restaurant inside. As always, the food is really good (I love their cheesy potato soup) and the menu has plenty of options. It's nice that...

Chefjesse, I'll bet your driving something with a diesel where you can swipe your card. With gas you need to take your reciept inside, stand in line and maybe they'll be able to give you your points and credits. Some won't or don't know how to manually do the points thing.
