You're welcome. God knows I've got time to answer; we've had 3 loads in two weeks [emoji21]

Insanely jealous [emoji57] Wait, tho: how did you get from Chicago to New Hampsha?

I'm a vanner because I have to be: I can't get a med card. My wife is out with me as well. My advice, to a couple who both have CDLs? Straight truck, all the way. More room, more money, more freight, you name it. As newbies, your first run should be to Lexington KY, for the Expo in July. You...

Yup. Sat in the STL area from Thursday to Tuesday, then a short from there to Owensboro KY on Tuesday afternoon. Been at the J in Franklin KY since yesterday morning. I "should" be taking care of the van; it needs an oil change, a windshield replacement, a blower motor, and it desperately needs...

Looks like I've earned a new Arabic name: bin Sittin' [emoji22]

One morning I took my son with me on my run into NYC. We saw a Prius with placards on it in Allentown PA. Not sure what the person was hauling (thinking maybe parts for an x-ray machine or CAT scanner), but when I told Andrew that the driver of said Prius needed a CDL to drive it, he burst out...

She's in the Dakotas. Summer was on a Thursday last year [emoji1]

Same here in STL. Good luck[emoji41]

You should look into getting a valet key or other type of "dumb" key that just unlocks the doors. My wife's Buick has one.

Pennsylvania makes no distinction between personal vs commercial use, for vehicles titled as trucks. My van's plates cost $173 yearly, for a class 3 plate (7000-9000 lb GVW). To register it as a passenger vehicle ($36), I'd need to convert it into a luxury van or RV.

Good deal, Sir Opel! This it?

Yeah right. I lost a STL to Laredo yesterday at .75. Guess factoring in a nickel a mile to pay for the DH to Houston broke the bank for someone [emoji35]

I must have the patience of a saint; I lasted two years at McDonald's. I once described it on Facebook as a "deuce" and said I'd never go back in; even a friend who had actually done time liked that comment [emoji38]

Dallas to Mountain View, Mo overnight. Now at J in Sullivan. Tomorrow we'll see if we're close enough to STL to get out...

I hope not as well. As for Comey, his next job will be choosing from a myriad of juicy offers; everyone from Harper Collins to Hustler will be clamoring to do a book deal. That, speaking engagements and possibly a professorship somewhere? Yup, he'll land on his feet [emoji5] Meanwhile, if...

Basically, he became dead wood; that's why he got fired. I agree, it's time to bring the FBI back to neutrality; that's the only way a police force can properly operate.

EP to Arlington, TX overnight. Now recuperating in Weatherford. Forum won't allow me to post the picture, but the old wagon reached 400k last night. Please pray for continued blessings [emoji41]

Part of it is knowing where to go to rest, also. That's why I'm in Weatherford TX, instead of the J in Dallas. By myself, I wouldn't care; with the missus aboard, it's a whole new ball game.

Not snowing in Anthony, TX [emoji16] Thursday morning found us picking up in Mankato, MN, for a 1500 mile run to Douglas, AZ. Took a room after that one! Saturday, we did the turista thing, and spent the night in Tucson. Yesterday, we came to El Paso area. Let's see what happens now [emoji16]

An um, interesting run overnight. Danville, PA to Virginia, MN. Diverted around a tornado warning in Western PA, but still took out a wire of some description with the top of the windshield. A star turned into a crack that just barely crosses the A line, so I'll hafta squeeze a windshield into...
