The "Rebels" would have most likely considered themselves Virginians, Texans, Georgians or what ever state they were from, rather than Americans.

Knoxville, TN. Church this morning, then maybe head toward Nashville later tonight, if we don't get any offers this afternoon.

Gettysburg is an amazing place. We spent a Sunday there last year while getting the truck worked on in Carlisle. We started off the day by attending Christ Lutheran Church downtown. They have a memorial on the front steps marking the place where a Chaplin died during the fighting. A sobering...

The Ohio Turnpike east of the 80/90 split, just west of Elyria is closed. They are having everyone get off onto I-90. We haven't even made it to the toll booths yet. Traffic was stopped about 1 mile west of split. Be safe :)

Picking up north of Detroit in a bit, to Philly in the morning. Then a short run from PA to NJ. Probably head to Bordentown, unless of course, we get a load out ;)

My wife and I get a laugh out of "silly" signs all over the country. Having worked in education (government) for many years, one thing is certain; if there is a sign, there is a reason for. Sometime in the past, someone did the behavior the sign is warning against, lol.

Ditto for I-95 south of DC. Wife hates it. Mine is 95 east of the GW Bridge. Rough does not begin to describe it. :(

Lexington, Ky. Weekend run to near Macon, Ga. Unloaded in Toronto yesterday morning. Got a load picking up in Hamilton on the way out "ready now". Head to pickup, told it wont be ready till noon. Wait nearby, at 11:45 we got the dreaded, "This load is cancelling" message. Dry run. Head back to...

Greensboro, NC at the TA. Having PMs on the Truck and APU done, as well as a DOT inspection. Hope to be back on the road by this afternoon.

So do you get anything for unloaded (deadhead) miles? Say you start in Atlanta, deliver to say Dayton, OH - 500 + or so miles. Do you make anything on the way back?

Us 93 between Phoenix and Kingman, AZ. Large billboard in the middle of nowhere that simply states, "NOTHING" Have a pic of that somewhere. Will try to dig that one up, later.

I think this will come back to haunt them.

Just leaving the Breezewood TA. Headed toward the Jessup, MD TA for the night. Unload outside Baltimore in the morning, then on to NC on Thursday

Yes they are. From what we have heard, ES is going to white Cascadias.

Yes we do :). Been with them for about 13 months now.

We are on a 40/60 pay. We receive 40% of the run pay (including the small amounts paid for deadhead from previous layover and delivery.) The owner gets 60% of the run, and all of the FSC and toll money. Our only expense is for the occupational accident insurance. Owner pays all maintenance...

Looks like there have been changes, and it would be nice is we were informed. We had a dry run earlier in the month. Ran around 60 or so miles toward the shipper before getting the dreaded "This run is cancelling" message. Went to the nearest truckstop to wait on the next load. When the dry run...

Just an update. August was even better than July. Almost $25,000 to the truck. Got our TVAL cert back. 13 loads hauled, of those, 7 were TVAL. 2 dry runs. Total per mile is back up to $2.10/mile all miles for the month. 11,794 authorized miles down from 12,636. We ran less and made more :cool...
