In the yard. 2 degrees outside. Oh how I'm going to miss being home in Florida. High yesterday was 82.

Got our first team load. Good rate. 820 miles.

Back in service today with a new co driver.

At home in Lake City, FL. Current temp 79 degrees. Ahh, relief.:D

DH'ing home to Florida for a week. New co driver starting March 2nd. And lots of stuff to do for the adoption of our grand daughter. Home study, references, fingerprints, interview, etc. I might even have time to work on the truck. That is if I ever put the baby down.

Why do the larger carriers keep brokering fright to the companies that are under bidding them. I understand the partner carrier concept but it seems this just helps keep the low ballers in business.

What happens when your company is the cheapest and you are running your wheels off and suddenly a new player enters the game. This new player decided to undercut you buy $.20 a mile.

I am snowed in near Fort Campbell, KY. Managed to drive 30 miles in 90 minutes. Apparently Kentucky doesn't have many plows in this area. Most roads including major highways are not driveable from here. Hope this clears up soon.

If you have a class A use it and drive tractor. If you drive a straight truck for a few years you won't have any recent tractor experience and will most likely have to start over again to get your experience back. Starting out in a tractor also gives you some flexibility. If you don't like...

One winter my wife and I were on a run that went past our home. We stopped in to grab a few things. No one was living there at the time and everything was shut down. When I went to use the restroom I was shocked to discover that the toilet bowl water had frozen. The reason for the big surprise...

You could probably get a good discount buying in volume.

I didn't get to hunker long. Now in Oak Grove, KY. A little nicer here than Indy.

Wind is ripping across I 65 near Indy.

At a Walmart near Indy. The wind is ripping across I 65. Heading back to the J in Whitesville and hunker down until I get a load.
