Someone in the 'location' thread just suggested EO merchandise. FWIW, the better half does custom embroidery, and has access to wholesale hats/garments, should you ever desire some. Thought I'd leave you a message here, so as to not violate any TOS rules directly in the thread. Enjoy your...

I call bs. I firmly believe every expediting truck in the nation is currently occupying the 2 TA stops in Ontario, CA. Holy, moly, there are a ton of expediters here! That's where I am, for the second week in a row. I'm not complaining. Making money, two weeks running. I grew up very near...

Like pelicn, I am also thankful to spend my days right alongside my much better half. A year ago, I was a struggling mortgage broker, landlord, and home remodeler. I am now an expediter. I am a scant two weeks into this profession, and am having the time of my life! My wife is also...

While taking the pleasurable drive through Wyoming this week (sarcasm intended), I noticed that gas was $1.59 and diesel $1.99, FYI.

Only 2 loads under my belt. Second one has me a bit puzzled: 2 skids, each about 3' tall, of brand new, flattened cardboard boxes. That's right, cardboard boxes....empty ones. PU in Louisville, KY, delivered today in Lathrop, CA. Empty friggin' boxes over 2300 miles. No one knows how to...

What an exciting week! Left home late Sunday, and parked at a truckstop near our home, and slept. Got a few crap load opps the next day (got all excited when they did, but the money was bad), then took the last crap offer from Chicago to Evansville.....had to get out of Michigan. Picked up later...

Nashvegas......hahaha. I think you and I might be from the same neck o' the woods, mstar55ny. However, I haven't lived there in 21 years. Wife and I start our expediting adventure tonight, and we are super-excited, nervous, and anxious. Hope to see you out there!

I personally enjoy the snot out of icefishing; although I haven't done it in years. The article I read said that the LEO's lined the rescuees up single file and took all of their info. No crimes were committed, but they advised all if they went back out and had to be rescued, they'd be...

Awesome post, pjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj (remind me one day to ask what all those j's are for). I am a very strong advocate for nationalized healthcare here in the states. Several people I know, myself included, are living sans health insurance. That's about to change. Several of us have been...

Thanks, Moose & Pilgrim. Moose-I'm in West Michigan. By law, BCBS has to accept us regardless of conditions. However, they're horrible expensive off the street. A group plan is definitely the way to go. Pilgrim-I am going to check them out. Hopefully, we'll get that info on day one at...

Thanks, Team Caffee. Glad I didn't pull the trigger before I left!

Brand new to this world, so please bear with me. I haven't had health insurance in almost 8 years. I start with a contractor driving FedExCC Monday. I'd like to hear from any of you that purchase your own health insurance, approximately what you pay per month, and the source. A former...

I concur, OVM.

No shame in my game, dodgeboy. I'm white, married to a Puerto Rican, have a half black daughter, and 2 black grandkids. I'm probably the last guy [I]anyone[I] can play the race card on. Roadpig: I also contributed to your hijack. My apologies. I am sad for the Cat folks as well. I believe you...

Huh?///////?

Very well stated, Turtle. You took those words from my head, I believe. Last poster (can't remember your name, sorry, it's on the last page and I'm too lazy to click back): I have done research on algae diesel and several other renewable fuels. How about you? Have I put any money into them...

Yes to each.

Wow. Although I've been a member of the board here for a short time, I am dumbfounded over the ignorant comments made in this thread. I have no tolerance for racism, either. Don't care what your intent was. Your statements were painting with a broad brush, were inappropriate, and extremely...

I sincerely appreciate everyone's input. We have made the choice to run expedited. My mom-in-law is here for the weekend, and someone inadvertently omitted telling her that she may be living in a truck with a stranger for a month or so. Oops. Wife's in the doghouse, so to speak. Had a good chat...

I'm looking for a little advice. Please chime in if have some. My wife and I just graduated CDL school yesterday. A few weeks ago, we were offered a team expediting position for a contractor hauling for FedEx CC in a straight truck with a sweet sleeper. Owner was offering a 60/40 split, with...
