This is sad news. Paul was a good guy. He's the only reason I gave RJR a try. He and Bob Westenburg are probably putting together a great expediting company up there. I hope they understand if it takes a while for me to sign on.

Had an unexpected day at home yesterday as I picked up in Kalkaska for Washington, Pa. and it doesn't deliver until 0600 tomorrow. Will probably hang in Smithton after I empty.

October was my best month for gross revenue and best for all miles pay to the truck in quite some time.:>)

Aww, c'mon Greg, it's got character! It just oozes charisma.

You can't do that legally. You can drive 11, then work on a dock as long as you want, but you'll need a 10 before you can drive again.

I'm dropping in Flint tomorrow morning, then going to Saginaw to load. I may have lots of time on the load. If so I'll stop in and say hey if your still there.

Layout, in many states, and I would suspect most, DOT officers are State Police that can pull over anyone.

You post something that looks like that and have the nerve to insinuate that those responding to this thread are stupid? Un-freaking-believable!

I'm at the Smithton, Pa. J waiting for FedEx to bring my mail tomorrow.

The way New York does it is totally stewpid!!! The last time I went to Brooklyn I followed another truck out. He told me not to worry, he knew the best way out. I was going under bridges that were marked way lower than my box. My rear end puckered up tighter than Nancy Pelosi's face!

Happy birthday, eh... Have some back bacon and Labatts on me!

Good post Charles. What I find funny is how I can go for quite a while with things going smooth, then I'll have 2 or 3 days where I seem to attract every idiot on the road. The suggestion in that other thread that more regs will make us safer is just laughable.

42k is pretty good money. If your looking to improve on that, don't even consider a cargo van. It's doable in a straight, but no guarantee. If your not unhappy doing what you're doing for 42k, you may want to consider sticking with it. Do you get benefits on top of that? If so, I'd say it's a no...

Currently running from Jersey to Chicago Heights for Monday morning. I'll probably hang at the Monee Petro Monday unless pre-dispatched.

When I entered this biz 11 years ago, 2 things were commonly said about cargo vans. 1, that being subject to HOS was going to happen at any time, and 2, that they were going to disappear from the industry. Neither of these things has happened. With HOS having been through a major change, it...

While GPS users know that the units can be stupid once in a while, my 465 earned a "most stupid thing ever" award this past Saturday. Going through Detroit southbound on 75, it wanted me to exit on Clark Street, and then get right back on 75. I'm not making this up!

Guido, if it doesn't have a converter, then it's been touched. 5" seems like overkill to me as well. Your no where near running that engine truly hard, such as heavy towing. Those are the guys that get a benefit from that kind of modification.

Whew... O.K.... I just need to take a deep breath, I'm still hyperventilating a bit. Thanks to this thread, I just met Moot. That's right, the Mootster!! The Mootilater! Mooty toot toot! As you may imagine, it was pretty exciting. He even let me hold his clipboard and sandwich while he...

LOL... Well said!
