    Now I feel left out, never been shot. (Wife said she'd have no problem shooting me in the leg if I want to know what it feels like)

    Oh I did forget falling off the roof because I threw a hissy fit. The wife didn't take off on me, she was getting me a coffee. Still not healed

    Hey glad you're ok Periodic. That was the first thing to pop in my mind (self inflicted) but I didn't want to ask. No judgement. When I was 17, at the beginning of my backyard mechanic career, I was working underneath my 1980 ford F150 jacked up in the driveway. Can't remember if it was sweat...

    Its an acquired taste, but I solved that by cutting my hole in the door or mounting in the window. No rain (on exhaust setting, hinge toward sky)

    Wife said no to Texas. She hates snakes. Interesting fact, TX is home to 105 species of snakes. I could always do the snowbird thing.

    Timed one run for cheap reserve fuel in the southwest part of NY. Going thru PA I saw 1 lane roads with 15 MPH speed limit. Full throttle hills and turns the Sprinter could barely make at full lock. If you stretch out your google maps line straight, be prepared for 4 hours extra driving time in...

    Murray is NOT the problem. Too many people are happy there (like, all of them)

    Uship rates absolutely suck. Just maybe a little less than zero I won't, but then I have no truck payments either

    Been there done that. The best thing I've seen lately, an expediter on here got sick of it after about 60 hours and took a uShip. Is it worth it? Well if you're going to deadhead home getting your gas paid for on the way was brilliant IMO

    I've been stupid enough to wait 4 days. My personal take from those experiences was to move after 24 h, from now on, to a better area within reason. Where you are in a lineup factors in as well

    Rates and Rants

    I'm getting a small hint that some may be upset about the rates as well, and thinking I'm trying to tell them what to do as a driver. This is aimed more at carriers. Its my way of saying smarten up before you force everybody out and have no option but to buy equipment and hire employees. If...
