    Picked up in Markle IN and taking it down to Laredo TX. Saturday delivery, get to spend the weekend exploring Laredo. Plan on staying at the state park there instead of the J. Bad week just turned out to be good. Only 3rd load this week but I'll have 2,750+ miles when I arrive in TX.

    LOL. Hey OVM, I got a very good rate for this run and we get lots of freight out of Ontario. We'll see who's laughing when it turns into a round trip with no DH. Enjoy Milwaukee. BTW, I saw your truck in the NW corner, didn't know it was you. If I did, I would have woke you up and bought you...

    weather band radio

    I saw a weather band radio at Menard's on Saturday for $11 or $12 in their Christmas specials area of the store, by all the other electronics like headphones, radios, DVD players, ect. Looked like it might be what you want. Not sure if it auto tunes or not.

    Happy Thanksgiving from Load One!

    Thank You John. If I was close I'd take you up on your offer. But I'm one of the lucky ones who made it home. Sharon and I are going to visit her parents in Northern Wisconsin for a long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to Load One and all the EO members. Bill

    NEW Cargo Van O/O, Do not want to be taken advantage of!!

    I've only been doing this for about 15 months. But I bet over half the loads I take would not be legal in a 1500. Just ran 2,200# across the Rockies to Utah. Couldn't do that with a 6 cylinder 1500. My Loads range from a small hand carried box to 3,500#. I can guarantee I would be driving less...

    CV Tires

    The Firestones are HT, not AT. I'm guessing here, Highway Tread or All Terrain.

    CV Tires

    I have a choice of 4 new Bridgestone Vsteel tires or Firestone Transforce HT tires on new GM wheels. Which would be the better choice? Which would go more miles and which would have better winter traction? Also has Hankook or Michelin but those are on Ford rims. I really don't want to swap out...
