    Sitting in Charlotte, NC. Glad to be out of the snow :) So where did they hide the truckstops in the part of the world? Doesn't seem many to choose from.

    Finally back on the road and in service. Picking up in Cleveland and delivering near Muskegon, Mi in the early am. Sure the storm will hold off lol. What a way to start the new year :)

    Pretty good insight into the difference of trying to be a "Christian" and being "Christ like".

    I-75 NB closed just north of Corbin, KY

    I-75 NB is closed just north of Corbin, KY due to an accident on the snowy roads and near white-out conditions. We heard there was a 30 some car pile up. The police closed the interstate just in front of us, and we were able to get off get a room. On the way back from Florida from picking up...

    Starving this year?

    We drive one. We're quite satisfied. I might be mistaken, but I think the ones that came over from E-1 and Panther were all surface trucks. I thought most of the ones that left the Fed were WG / TVAL? All of the ones we have ran into were surface trucks, and some were solos.

    Starving this year?

    I thought those red Kenworths were there to replace all the Landstar defectors ;)

    Starving this year?

    December was our best month so far. From Dec.1 - Dec. 22, we ran 13 loads, 6611 loaded miles, 8526 dispatched miles. (We deadheaded 650 miles into Florida for one load, but we had reasons - got to see our son, who we hadn't seen in several months.) We were also off for 4 of those days. 11 of...

    New HOS Rules are out

    So in the infinite wisdom :eek:, of our government regulators, the new rule (mandatory break after 8 hours) will be much safer than the current (no mandatory break) rule. BUT, if you are hauling something that might possibly go "boom", it's OK to not follow the new (safer) rule; you even get...

    Louisville, Ky. Unloaded and thinking of heading home and calling it a year. Been fun so far. This last month has been busy, ready for a little time off, not been home since October. Merry Christmas everyone!

    Mc Donald's around the world

    We often stop at the McDonalds at exit 64 (Lincoln) on the QEW on our way back from Toronto. Their apple pies taste different (much better) than the ones we have here in the states. At least there is one thing to look forward to with Canadian loads. Nothing wrong with Canada mind you, just the...

    Pre dispatch load info

    We would like to see the load information sooner also. I like to look at Google Earth, our GPS and the actual c-link text routings to try to spot any "issues" as far in advance as posible. Having to wait until finishing a load to get the information sometimes doesn't allow us a chance to do...

    Expediter Services

    My wife and I have been team driving one of their trucks since August. Very nice folks to work with. We are leased on with FedEx Custom Critical. Just don't forget, when you are taking that week off at home, you aren't making any money. We have only been home twice since August 14th. Took a...

    We've been trying to get a load to Florida since we started. Our son is on an internship at Disney. He'll be finished this semester and headed back to BGSU. We go down to pick him up over New Years. Sure the first load opp after we go back in service after the 1st will go there. Enjoy the...

    OH SOOO Funny!

    Not even for double that would it find its way onto our truck unless it was delivering in my front yard and I really wanted to get home.:D We would still probably ask for more $$.
