I'm not going to complain well maybe a little, sitting here south of Portland, OR where we've been since Monday morning. Nice load out here, but dang I hate sitting this long. The upside? The weather is heavenly after last week in Ohio. Temps in the 40's at night, and the 60's during the...

Who is Generation We? Those born between 1978 and 2000. If you'd like to hear something that is truly frightening listening to this Generation WE: A Generation 95 Million People Strong Progressive, Global, and no one mentions freedom. We "old farts" are in trouble, as one twenty-something...

Moving like they did on the promise of "free stuff". There has to be more to this story, but the way it was written, it sounds like these people moved to town and tried to make it Miami.

I couldn't even imagine doing something like this

Were you not allowed to park with the big trucks or just out with the cars?

Be aware of your surroundings, walk with purpose head up and watchful. Stay away from dark places, park near lights and avoid walking between trailers if possible. We won't stay at any of the truck stops on the loop around Atlanta. We also won't stay at the TA east or west in Ontario, CA...

Headed for Oregon...first time out west in almost a year!

It sounds like they gave you a 1st out because load A was a dry run. So, load B was your 1st out. If your dry run put you on a board that had 15 trucks, you went to the top of that list and got offered load B before the other trucks.

Ooohh...all that power and a new toy too! LOL Happy Birthday Dale! ;)

Although I think EO is a great site, and has many great people, I'm thinking that a true "Hall of Fame" for expediters would have many people that have never even heard of EO.

Yes, the "other guys" abilities do scare me. When in bad weather, space space space.

Col, our bag of chains say "do not open" ;) We've pushed through snow storms before, but never to the point of feeling unsafe. Freezing rain/ice is a different matter.

That was interesting! How times have changed

OVM...You're such a ray of sunshine...:eek:
