    Health Insurance

    That's news to us, Bob & Linda. When we were at orientation, we specifically asked that (as we were told the same thing you just stated), and were given a brochure for NASE, which anyone can get. If I am missing something, please guide me. I am in a similar boat. We have to satisfy the better...

    Where is everyone today and how is the week

    Looks like just the one load for the week. Sitting at the J in Pennsville Twp./Corney Point, NJ. Good time to catch up on paperwork, start taxes, and work on father-in-law's mortgage. I may actually get the satellite dish mounted today.

    Where is everyone today and how is the week

    Went in service yesterday afternoon in W. Michigan, and left for Chicago a few hours later. Much more freight there, and we thought we'd expose ourselves to it. We were right, as we're headed to NJ tomorrow. Pay is not the greatest, but it is profitable for us and our truck owners. Nice...

    TSA Search Standards?

    The randomness, or irregularity in the type of search is, in and of itself, a psychological deterrent. I realize that we as a 'community' are largely law-abiding, and try to have our feces coagulated long prior to an actual search. However, I am fairly certain there are those among us who...

    there's more to the story

    I, for one, am dying to know the correlation of Gracie being pregnant and Phil's inclusion in said exclamation have to do with one another. I kid. Sitting for a day, and the penitentiary humor is getting the better of me, once again. I'm new to the biz, and like the numbers we've...

    Truck wash FYI

    Must be a flashback from my years in the penitentiary rearing their ugly head, Turtle. That's a story for another day. Speaking of the truck washes (we were, weren't we?), a guy just walks by the truck where parked, and I knew he wasn't the average lot scum (I know, I swore off truck stops)...

    Truck wash FYI

    I just had ours washed at the Blue Beacon at exit 6b on I-270 in Illinois, just east of St. Louis. They're kiddie-corner to the Flying J. I've had just 3 truck washes since we started this adventure; two of them at Blue Beacons. Complete pieces of crap. I will never spend mine or my owner's...

    location March

    We're at the J in Phoenix. Delivered very early this morning to a power plant in upper slobovia, er, Page, AZ. Ran into a nasty snowstorm outside of Albuquerque, and were dead tired when we got to the J today. We've all but given up trying to get home (Michigan), and instead will focus on...

    Still getting to a cool place every now and then.

    Too lazy to read the Wiki....for now, but remain in awe of the blackbird. There's one parked at the air museum just outside Eglin/Hurlburt complex in FL that I have pics of...somewhere. I very vividly recall having specs drilled into our head in basic training (the SR-71 was still a very...

    Is Truck Stop Customer Service Improving?

    Mental Giant- That crackhead was there yesterday, and called my wife 'sista'. If you'd like, I'd be happy to cart her up to Lenawee county for you..... Mod- Sorry for the 4-lettered words. Mild, IMHO, but not my site. I apologize. Maybe one of these days I'll actually read the TOS:)

    Anyone in Blaine Today?

    I was there last Sunday night, as the rocket surgeons I subcontract for couldn't figure out with a phone call that the soda pop bottling place had been open on the Saturday when I really could have delivered the load. To top it off, I got these really wonderful two sets of directions on the QC...

    Is Truck Stop Customer Service Improving?

    This weekend, and this post, have really opened my eyes. I'm sitting here in the TA in Dallas, and, after having purchased 60 gallons of fuel, got my free night's stay here at the hotel TA. There is a Dallas police officer or Sheriff here 24/7 (wondering who they ****ed off to get this...

    Bolt Express Questions

    Forecast for Buffalo is wide right with a 90% chance of a skate in the crease. True Buffalonians, or Western New Yorkers know exactly what I'm talking about.

    location March

    I'm at the J in Tacoma, WA on I-5. Spent the last 2 weeks bouncing up and down CA and a little into SLC. Actually enjoyed warm weather in February, but am now ready to go home for a few days. Delivered in Delta, BC this morning. Hoping for a load other than Portland to Boise for a consumer...

    what is bull crap

    I agree with you 100%, pjjjj, my Canuck friend. I should not be so cavalier in my business dealings. Maybe I'm just a slow learner. That being said, I have at least two things working in my favor: The verbal contract is the weakest link. I have spreadsheets showing runs, total dollars per...

    If all of we Michiganders are here, then whose job was it to turn off the lights?

    what is bull crap

    I had to laugh at your comments, flattop, as I am a former mortgage broker from your state. When our state's financial status started taking a dive, the NBC affiliate in Grand Rapids was interviewing a financial planner that had taken out a pay option ARM. The dingbat was crying about the...

    Would you take this run??

    Excellent idea, termite! I'd have been all over that original load like stink on poop.
