    Question?

    And just as you get to the dock and need to go check in, that's when you discover that you've found the one radio station in a thousand that plays the songs the way you like them! Example: most oldies stations play the two minute version of the Doors' "Light My Fire". How often do you get to...

    The DNC: Wickiwacked

    Perhaps he was reminded that he has seven grandchildren, and he wouldn't want anything "should happen to them" :eek:

    So... What is the Story on Laredo...?

    Many people, especially vanners, will deadhead out of there because of the large numbers of vehicles that accumulate there. If you arrive over the weekend, it makes sense to sit a little bit, but if you don't land a run by 1600 Tuesday, then it's time to roll out. Ask your dispatcher where to...

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    Oh hell no. I'm old, fat and been on temporary disability. I cannot even begin to tolerate heat like that, at least not with any degree of humidity.

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    I assume your odometer reads in kilometers; if so, your van s/b in great shape :)

    Alltypes expediting

    I looked at All Types' website, to get an idea what I needed to bring out on the road. That section makes some sense, at least for a clueless noob. I did not run for them. In Cali, you might try Albatross Express; I haven't run for them either, so I'll let wiser folks weigh in on them.

    I Come From Alabama

    Just please, don't do this in a van. We're fighting over table scraps as it is. If I were allowed to do so, I'd be in a straight truck.

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    I wonder, tho, what would be a fair price to be able to do this legitimately?

    Advice for a 22 year old starting with van?

    Later boomer here. Our parents strived to make sure that we would not face the deprivation they did as children or young adults during the Depression. The good economic times our Nation enjoyed in the 50's and 60's spoiled us all, because we enjoyed ever increasing prosperity and opportunities...

    Good locations to live for home time close to freight?

    Having to deadhead 200+ miles is a PITA, but there are worse fates in life. I looked up your town; you should have good luck getting out of Milwaukee, if not GB or Oshkosh. Also, a short run to a good area is a blessing in disguise because you get paid to drive instead of having to move on your...
