How could I forget jerky? Some of the best jerky I have ever had is from McDonalds Meats in Clear Lake, MN. Don't let the name scare you off! About 5 miles north of the Clearwater Truck Plaza on MN 24. On October 1, Minnesota went to a state wide smoking ban. This includes all indoor public...

Thank you Native (Early) Americans for energy bars, tobacco, maize, canoes, moccasins and casinos.

SNOW? The high temperature today in Minneapolis was 85 degrees. I washed my van but couldn't bring myself to do any serious winterizing stuff. I will be doing that soon, but not today.

Does that stuff work for dry tired eyes?

Get yourself a good sleeping bag. I bought a large rectangular one rated to -30 at Cabelas for $80. I also have a down mummy bag which fits inside the rectangular one. When driving in snow I keep my cab as cool as possible and have the heat coming out of the floor vent. Most dry snow will...

Back in the 73,280# days I did some pulp log hauling in Minnesota. After the state deemed the roads sufficiently frozen we were allowed to haul 80,000# on designated routes under some agricultural exemption. It's all about who has the clout and money to change laws.

Parenting is a life long job. How's that for job security. Sounds like you done good! That scooter looks like it is doing 90 mph standing still.

Greg, do you know the history of Michigan's weight limits? I'm guessing the Big 3 and U.S. Steel had a hand in this. What's good for them is good for Michigan, right? I can't see the 80,000# limit going south. But I would hope it doesn't get increased. As for the I-35W bridge, I believe it...

Canada is very necessary for Canadians. If it wasn't for Canada, Canadians wouldn't have a country. Therefore they wouldn't be Canadians or Canadiens. Aslo there would be no "ultimate fighting", I mean hockey. Eh!

This entire thread has my little brain in a tizzy. So I took the liberty to cut and paste some key sentences from some of the posts. The following is a cohesive and comprehensive nugget. Sounds like he generated a BOL in order to get paid from Panther, which it sounds like he did...

Wasn't Padwrap a Biblical character that hung with Meshack and that other dude.

John, when not on the trail, nuke those brown sugar and cinnamon Poptarts for 12 seconds. Yummy. Fruit Poptarts get 11 seconds.

Go with a truckload carrier that does grocery houses. Better yet a reefer carrier that specializes in boxed meat. You will get a good workout lifting 44,000 pounds every other day.
