Now that I slept on it I think its a Panter TT that I see coming and going out of the Kokomo plant. I may have mispoke on the Fedx. But none the less I am seeing more of you purple ppl on the docks. Theres money to be made running up and down 75 chasing this freight, Not saying ya dont make...

If not classified..What kinda work is your daughter doing in there?

FedX Doesnt seem to be so picky lately..Seen a fair amount of them in the plants..Including reefers both straights and tractor trailers. Actually see a fairly new 53 ft reefer in the kokomo plant often.. Come over to the dark side Layout and help us out..LOL Besides im sure your ripe for some...

If wrenching on trucks/heavy equiptment and Locomotives count..Since 1974. Only the last 6 years and a few months have been in expediting. First 5 with one carrier and the balance is where I am at now. (I think) And yes I have tools for sale..LOL

Been moved along to many times by the Woodhaven police..Esp in that Meijer across the street. Slid over here next door to the Detroiter and Ill sell ya some gun raffle tickets..They will make good stocking stuffers. Someone says I gotta sit here for bout 9 more hours so Ill be here for a...

I want and what I really want is certifed chain and binders for machines. Many times I wished I had some with me. Some things I dont trust to just straps and load bars.. Just a matter of doing it.;)

I dont know about these roads but I can tell ya Canada has no proplems zooming in on a van plate. 3 times I received pitures of the back of the van..Perfect photos..And of course along with the photos came the bill.

Nice ride..Sounds like a good trip.

Got rid of 6 or 7 of them last night to the guy loading next to me. Not sure he knows they need a air source but he thought they where the greatest thing since sliced bread.. Gotta feeling I should have left them on the docks when I unloaded or at least asked for dumping fees. Blankets and...

Murray seen em to..LOL They been sitting over there a good part of the summer. They been overnighting there for a long time then I believe early summer the homeland security over there was booting em out after daylight broke. Seems now noone is bothering them at all for the last few months...

Good info OVM I didnt know that.. I assummed most Canadian drivers have a number as how far they want to go into the states and still be able to return home on the same page. I know with the last carrier I was with, I hated going deep and having to wait for Canadain freight coming back up.

The last load left me with a snot load of Dunnage bags. (air bags to cushion the freight) These are of good quality and reusable up to 12 times. My Q is how often do you think there would be a use for these if Dispatch knew they where on the truck? Right now I'm thinking never. Q for the folks...

Giddy Up EXpress..:) All joking aside is it the industry that changed so much or is it our lifestyle that makes this job so difficult at times/keeping us from getting ahead at times. No doubt as a whole we are wastefull society and it is costing us. At times it seems like 1 step forward and...

Ya gotta try to remember we may have strayed off topic and started to refer to Daves lenght of service.:) 3 dollar rooms I dont remeber but seems I can remeber what they use to call efficient rooms, not hotels for 8 or 10 bucks?? (May have been the flop houses now refered to as crack houses.)

Why a 100 miles..Is that the magic number for the folks that cross?..LOL Pleanty of xdocks near the borders..US drivers can bring it all the up and dump it for the Canadian drivers to come and get. :)

LOL. In the short time I been here I have managed to weasel a few for a driver. Its a hard sell now to get dispatch to spring for a room but if they really really want em to sit tight they just may do it.

Dave you forgot to mention Hotel rooms where 3$ a night back then..LOL

.........

As Layout said.. Hoping they are all safe and nothing but the best news coming out of there for you.

My signs are in place also on both doors. Have been since 3 weeks after I bought the truck..And I dont even think about getting close to California. For a two dollar investment it really makes me look more professional then I am.:cool:
