    The main reason I will not go there is their skimming scandal with their fuel discounts. And yes I have researched it. Flag or no flkag they are crooks and stole that no e.g. from hardworking American Truck drivers. Good day.

    Thanks Ragman, Everything is going well. Hometime the end of this month. 4th of July at home. My favorite summertime holiday. Our only draw back is we must put our dog down. He has been our partner and security chief for 14 years. It's gonna suck. How are you doing?

    Josh, I am glad you guys went and acquired the information you wanted. It is a huge decision and they seem to have a great support system. Owning a truck is definitely not for us. Not right now but you never know. Stay safe and keep us updated on your journeys.

    Oh Josh I am feeling you right now on all that you have said. We just went back on the road yesterday after our first home time. I cried all day. We have no rent and our truck is our home. Even at home time we stayed the night in the truck. I was heartbroken to leave my family. We have been...

    I have always wondered why we sit at the shippers for so long. Are they so busy they can' get the load ready? Are they union and just don' care? I have been fortunate that the longest we have sat is 5 hours. Now our time is coming and we will have to sit longer. I guess I just expect they should...
