I have listed my Sprinter for sale. (Check the classifieds) I'm not really promoting the sale here, just lamenting that a lifetime profession may be coming to and end soon. After 43 years on the road, I guess it is time .... It's time to stop going like my butt is on fire and slow down with...

At home for a few days, need to vote Tuesday, get a physical and renew my CDL ...

I "usually" get about 400 miles on 22 gallons ... 18mpg .. ALWAYS use mileage, divided by gallons for mpg, otherwise you are just guessing. I have done better, I have done worse .. depends on a lot of situations ...

I have both a 4G and a 3G wi-fi device. Since I purchased the 4G last June I have had it activated 3 different times. There continues to be connectivity between 3G and 4G service areas, (the last time activated was 2 weeks ago), I am once more back to the 3G device. Verizion knows of the...

Here at Watertown ..... they just opened the northbound lanes ..... I'll wait 30 for all the hot shot semis to get out there and occupy the median parking places. Hey, I'm old .. I don't get much excitment, except when I push on doors that say Pull. And this is my one and only storm of the...

Branson, Mo took a hit from tornado's, one dead in he area. And for the fishing folks .. Tracker Boats in Lebanon took a direct hit, according to the news .. Meanwhile, up here in northeast South Dakota, I-29 is closed due to ice and blowing snow .....

Like a dummy, I took another load from Chicago to Bismarck ..... took the senic route to avoid a lot of the weather, I-80 over to I-29 ... made it to Brookings, SD ... I-29 closed to Fargo ..... time for a nap!

The fact that a van is NOT regulated, (unless it is hauling more than 1,000 of hazmat), makes it more profitable. 10 hour breaks are not mandated, nor are 11/14 hour work days. I, personally, only sleep 5-6 hours a night, no matter where I am. When my rest is complete, I am free to accept a...

Honest answer? I am comfortable with the Sprinter I have, (2008 model), but I would not purchase another. There are options now, like the CargoMaxx that make it less than desireable. The ONLY redeeeming feature of the Sprinter was the large capacity in the high roof, extended body. Those...

The demands on oil ..... diesel fuel ... go down in the summer. The heating season is over. Unless you are in a major agricultural area, there becomes a surplus. Gas prices? Not so much ...

Landstar sure does! And I have to have a CDL with haz-mat also ..... company requirement. No shelter here ...
