I ran a company sanctioned linehaul meet and turn from St. Paul to Windsor, Wi (Madison, exit 132) 5 nights a week for 2 years. The speed limit at the time was 55 mph and we got paid for 536 miles round trip. My calculator shows 53.6 mph, that's pushing it a bit.

Cool, enjoy! I like folk music. Someday I would like to hit the Winnipeg folk Festival. I perused the line-up and noticed the David Mayfield Parade is scheduled to play. Bruno?

As a team driver one can afford to be anal when it comes to logs. A solo doesn't have that option. I have never run more than one logbook, but I have never been totally accurate either. Call it the fudge factor. Every day I would fill out my log book, but wouldn't log on duty until...

21cExp did the CD thing one better and sent me a portable hard drive full of music. One of these days I will return the favor and reload it and send it back to him. Cheri and I have also traded books via the USPS. Yeah, what she said, a great way to get exposed to something different. And...

I'm just a van driver. I'm just a van driver that purchases gas, not diesel. I'm just a van driver, but I have been around the block a couple of times. I'm just a van driver, but I have heard the generic announcement to move your truck from the fuel island after fueling. I'm just a van...

That pretty much sums up the free stuff with the addition of the use of urinals, toilets and mostly free parking. I'd include window wash and the squeegee thing at the Flying/Pilot except they use way too much soap in the wash, so I use my own wash and squeegee thing. If it wasn't for the...

I delivered there to Berg Pipe a few years ago. I had some vital parts for one of their dust collectors that blew up and killed a worker a week earlier. The guards would not let me in without a TWIX card. They even gave me all the pertinent paperwork to apply for the card and told me to come...

It may sound harsh, but its the truth. If I wanted solidarity I would still be an employee making a guaranteed amount per mile/hour with paid vacation and other benefits. I like what I am doing now and for the most part, do what I want, when I want. Other drivers may be killing themselves...

That pretty much describes my operation. Way too many variables for a single truck owner/operator to adhere to any one formula. Be flexible, be Gumby; but in expedite, don't be Pokey. Ragman....

Ole Sprinterson, dat dare van uf yurs mus be Norvegian instead of Yerman, ya. Wow, 800,000 miles. That's like almost 1.3 million Canadien or 32 times around the Earth at the equator. Very impressive. 2½ or so years to the one million mile mark? Go for it!

I don't think that was a typo. No surprise he is hanging out there. One of his relatives, a giant orange moose, lives there.

Is this in reference to the happy ending massage or are you talking about something else?

I have picked up and delivered to those and others at O'Hare and I have also picked up at other FedEx air cargo facilities and never dealt with security like this.

No gate. They never checked my van and allowed me to exit the building after going through security and out to my van. That's what makes this so absurd and why I posted about it.

What do you expect from a company called Fo Scam?

Today I picked up an air freight shipment from FedEx Heavy Weight at O'Hare. Irving Park Road has been rerouted and the road into the air freight terminals has also been drastically changed. I'm glad I did this by the light of day. It looks like a new runway is being built or maybe someone...

It appears Hillary will not be running for president in 2016.

Nothing wrong with a therapeutic message that has a happy ending.

As a confirmed techno-tard, I find what you are doing wrong is using Windows 8. What you are missing is Windows 7!
