    Hello August

    I agree, turned down a Chicago yesterday because of tolls and with no reimbursement and the fact its more then likely a empty move home resulting in more tolls. No wake up call this morning so I must be in the dog house.

    Hello August

    Yes it is. Dispatch just called and wanted to know if I was still sitting where they left me last month. Morons I tell ya, these idiots couldn't use a chalkboard if someone picked out the colors of chalk for them.

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Well looks like the month is going to end just like it started.. No freight. 2 weeks now produced 2 loads. Both resulting in heading home empty.. Yesterdays reply was Yes we get lots of freight out of that area.

    Intel map for Lexington for those heading down there. Zip Car use to offer discounts on rentals for Ingress players, their locations are portals as they are also sponsors of the game. Not sure if discount still applies. Resistance players there is some AP to be had.. Enlightened players, Well...

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Man that sure looks like a knuckle buster. Nothing like carrying a good set of tools, Breaker bar, wheel socket and a good quality 4 way wheel wrench. With tools quality goes a long ways. As far as those mirriors, I imagine ya do get a real good view as that tire starts to pass ya up. :D Glad...

    Oh you will enjoy the numbers from 9 to 10 then. I'm trying to hit level 15 before double AP hits in November.. I hear from 15 to level 16 is really brutal. :eek:

    Pokemon is now live for the public. Beta test has been done for a few weeks now. You may have noticed large groups of people standing at what are called portals in Ingress. Now with Pokemon these portals are referred to pokestops. A place you go to to collect gear to keep playing the game...

    OUT AND BACK

    I would be willing to bet I can match your Deadhead or exceed it or anyone else on this forum. Heck I might even put it up against anyone in the industry. )Well except for Fastman of course, as he has been at it longer and with the same company longer then me.) Without pulling out the log book...

    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    Ya know, a few maybe saying no cargo Vans but I thinking most will do the paperwork and orientation on the sprinter type vans. If they use them to the fullest is another story.. I have heard of carriers saying no to cargo vans but sprinter types, not so much. L1 maybe but from what I understand...

    I forget the topic or what thread it was in but a short time ago someone asked this very question. I told em to start a thread concerning this very topic. I have no issue posting what I make and posting amount of miles it took to obtain that cash. If vans are taking in .95 all in your doing...

    Photo shows 4 fully manned lift trucks, 1 guy in a scooter, 2 guys near the railing, yet after nearly 3 hours of sitting on the dock I get turned away because they don't have anyone working. UAW at its finest. Told to be back by 6am but log book won't let me even think about moving the truck...

    Trade shows are not what they use to be, where someone attending would actually get hands on experience or demonstrations. They have now turned into a Vendor O-rama. Where the vendors sole purpose is to take your money. Kinda like the safety class held by carriers. When have you ever attended...

    Truckers Continue Protesting for Better Pay

    Never say never. It wasn't to long ago that the States maintained the roads and right of ways, They even use to build some. Now the road commissions may roll snow but their biggest job it seems is to plant flowers and maybe cut some grass.

    Truckers Continue Protesting for Better Pay

    I haven't had a good month all year, so I used weeks in my equation. But both equations come out nearly the same. Give or take a week. As far as the public, I could give a rats a** about them and if they get butt hurt because their commute is disrupted by these guys. Using your equation, I would...

    No a license is not needed. And it does not guarantee you will eat or make you a better fisherman. The reality is, you will pay a fine without that license if you get caught. :D
