The kind of things that are usually stuffed into a weekend report. Strange occurrence. I arrived at a shipper. It was the typical crossdock configuration of a bazillion back-to-back docks with an office at one end. It was one of the most ship shape crossdocks I’ve seen. I checked in at the...

Everything last week fell into place quite nicely, this week the roll continues. Seven loads for the week. One load was over five hundred miles, one was less than two hundred, and the rest were all somewhere between three and three fifty. READ MORE...

Due to trucking we are able now to witness the seasons changing all over the country and it is amazing. The first time I topped a hill and saw the fall colors on the mountains in Pennsylvania I thought I was going to have to stop the truck so I could regain my composure. Pictures do not do...

Sticker update: I've ordered 'repositionable' stickers that claim to be removable without leaving residue on glass, metal, etc. Order an extra one and test it out at the house. The size is 7 x 3.75, and look like the image on the ordering page. The stickers should arrive tomorrow, so I will get...
