    April locations, but I won't promise spring!

    Wednesday afternoon, Carlisle PA to Richmond, VA. 245 miles. Thursday, Surry VA to Seabrook, NH, thru the night, 625. Yesterday, Boston to Indiana, PA. 550. Not bad for 3 days. Now home awaiting the second-to-last two-days-in-a-row NYC run, Monday & Tuesday. When done on Tuesday, deadheading to...

    The cell phone is 40 years old today....1973

    Any unused cell phone (at least the digital ones) can be used to dial 911. That's a good reason to give your unneeded phones to charities, especially ones that help victims of abuse.

    The cell phone is 40 years old today....1973

    My first one was a bag phone. My first bill was $188. My wife blew a gasket! :o

    Getting Started. Advice Please. Out of Las Vegas, NV

    Cheri's idea of "pretend logging" is a good one, but I'd do a real pretrip. Even on a car, the essentials would be the same, the practice would help significantly, and you'd end up with a safer car if you follow up the problems. Good luck! :)

    April locations, but I won't promise spring!

    First night on the road, didn't freeze to death. Next stop when I get home: medical supply place, for a certain "bottle". Available in Colonial Heights, Va. at the Pilot.

    Cargo vans/Sprinters not welcome at Flying J in Houston

    Taking bets as to how long it will be 'til the ol' padlock gets thrown on this thread. I'll be back on Friday, figure it'll be locked by then. Any takers?

    Shunpiking- wise or foolish?

    Did a run yesterday. The paid mileage matched my GPS's estimate, and the route suggested involved the PA & NJ Turnpikes, and the GWB. Add 'em together, over $25 for a lowly cargo van. Can't afford that luxury right now, so I took another route. Ended up paying $5 for the Tappan Zee and $1 to...

    MARCH LOCATIONS spring is on it's way

    Got the first run in yesterday. Coatesville, PA to Trumbull, CT. Not a lot of money, but fun nonetheless. I'm looking at the first few weeks as sort of OJT. This is my first expediting gig and I can't go full tilt for a month or so, until I'm weaned off of my NYC run. So, short runs for now...

    chest pains

    A baby aspirin, 81mg, chewable. However, like any good internet medical advice, especially from a non-physician, this comes with a disclaimer: NEVER JUST MEDICATE YOURSELF WITHOUT ASKING YOUR DOCTOR FIRST!!

    MARCH LOCATIONS spring is on it's way

    In service, at home, waiting for a call. Get one. Can't do it because I have to be back so I can do my dreaded NYC run. Unfortunately, I can't just drop NYC, I hafta give it a couple weeks yet. Did I do the right thing, or should I have done a trip from PA to Laredo on my FIRST run?

    Saw the offending Pop Tart on another site. If you turn it 90 degrees to the left, it actually looks like Idaho :)

    Carrier cutting rates

    B114, just imagine yourself in a 9-to-5 job. Your boss tells you that your pay is going to be cut by 12.5%, but that you will be able to make it up with overtime. So you go from $16/hr to $14. Instead of grossing $640 for 40 hours of work, now you have to work 43.8 hours* to make the same $640...
