    Yeah, I remeber I questioned that also. I am a dual citizen, but it hasn't helped me in any way yet. One time I was flying to Europe with a stop over in Stuttgart, Germany. They had 2 lines at the customs, one for EU citizens and one for others. The flight originated in the US so the majority...

    Why don't you just get your citizenship? I used to travel to Europe often in the past with my green card and coming back was always more hassle than it needed to be. After I got my citizenship I was pleasantly surprised when the first time I flew back to the states and just a couple of...

    solo straight how do you make it work

    Since it is more difficult to get into a straight, not everybody and their mother get into it. As a result, not that many around, more loads, more load opportunities, better money. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    I haven't changed my brake fluid either. After 774k miles it still looks like It did the first day. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    solo straight how do you make it work

    I'm a solo in a straight. I do pretty good for my needs. It might not be enough for you though. In reality, you don't know until you try it. Go with a fleet owner for a while and see if you make enough. I went about it in a different way. I bought a cheap truck that I paid cash for instead of...

    I haven't done this much maintenance on my sprinter in 775k miles, but I bought it new and I drove it like I owned it. Makes a bit of difference. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Fuel Tax

    GasBuddy gives you the price, but you need to figure out the cost by other means. This map is great. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Cargo Van To Decal or not to Decal...

    I've been bothered both with and without signs a few times. I would say more so with than without. I have been bothered the most in my FedEx years, probably because FedEx is a company that most people know, and they wonder why that FedEx van sits there instead of delivering packages. I got so...

    Later on today I will be on this airplane (Embraer E175S, registration C-FEKJ) from Atlanta to Toronto and then hop onto this one (Boeing 777-333(ER), registration C-FITL) from Toronto on to London. Air Canada, never flew with them...

    It will not go to court. United wants this to go away as soon as possible and will pay whatever it takes to settle. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Irrelevant. On the plane in big letters it said 'United' also every uniform of pilots, flight attendants, etc said 'United'. Most importantly, the gate agent that started the whole thing was a United employee. It was all United's fault, 100%. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    April in Load One

    This happened in front of a poor motorcyclist. He is still in critical condition. Don't know what the deal is there. Glad I moved away from there. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Happy Birthday. Good decision to deadhead home. Much nicer to celebrate your birthday at home than in a tin can. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Straight Truck Aero

    The new cascadias have a different kind of cruise control, I forget the name of it. I bet that one helps too. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Big Truck What to look for in a used straight Truck for solo or?

    Greg, now that I know your truck will be there I have to go to take a look at it. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    That is good to know, thanks. But for the expo there is plenty free parking right by the place. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Straight Truck Aero

    Well, the benefits are huge. They have a cascadia with dual rear axles and they are getting about 12.5 mpg if I remember correctly. But the biggest contributor to good or bad fuel mileage is still your right foot. They don't drive fast. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
