I'm so sorry. My bad. I'll do better. I promise.

Dispatching is HARD!!! Doing that and bidding the "right rate" on loads is brutal. I sympathize with every dispatcher Bidding low enough to get the load and high enough to make money on the load is virtually impossible these days. I feel that a lot of the awarded loads out there are truly...

Sally and I are in a unique boat. And we know that. But $X.XXXX per mile to VA helps a little.

IN to VA....

Yes, CargoMax would be nice. But 12-15 MPG is a tough nut with some of the current rates. I just lost another bid because I wouldn't go down to $1 a mile. Not that I don't, but I wish ALL carriers would inch up their per mile. A boy can dream, right?!?!

I guess I should lighten up a little, then.

As I consider the next one, I feel I'll probably end up with a Chevy 3500 chassis with one of those narrow boxes like yours. But I'd love to get about 12.5'-13' inside the box. I can get a FULL 12' in my van and would NOT step back into a shorter cargo area. It's just helped pay for this van...

That sounds nice. I need to get away from the truck stops for sleep. But I always worry about security at places that don't have a 24-hour presence. Especially after I start getting my generator out more. I fear a quick set of big arse bolt cutters could make off with it, despite the huge cable...

Wow, I thought that was just me. I wake up wondering on occasion. I have some very fond traveling memories from the past 19 months. Most of all going out west (by ground) for the first time in my life. NM, AZ, ELP, Las Cruces, Nogales, crossing through the Guadalupe Mountains National Park and...

There goes my memory again!! That's a lot of beer ago. LOL!!

Was EMT in Plainfield. Shutting down in Indy. Earplugs in. I hope it works. It's sooo freakin loud at this Pilot.

I think it may be all the miles. It's great to get 140,000 miles out of a set of tires. But I'm not sure doing that in 15 months is ideal. LOL!! Love me some Michelins!

Your name does sound quite familiar. I know it was while I was there. Or at least I seem to remember seeing your name, if not even meeting you. Maybe about 3-4 years ago?

Or feel free to email me at [email protected]. I have trouble responding in a timely manner to PMs. And my mailbox fills up every other day, or so.

Were you out of Shelby back then?

Yes. 9 years & 4 months. Were you there? I'll have to check your profile. Or PM me any info you don't want public on here.

Chitown burb to Indy burb.

Chicagoland, by way of Boonieville, OH.

I'd also like a sign on the back if my van that had a dash-mounted switch.

Yeah, have your forward email ready to type in their email addy, walk in like a boss and say "I need to email you a PDF attachment to print". If you only need one page of a multi page attachment be sure to specify that to them. I've saved 9-11 cents several times. :) But they ALL are used to...
