Happy belated Birthday

Happy Thanksgiving...Typical expediting, Thought I was going to get skunked after my good week last week. But I'm thankful for a week saving load. Stay safe out there.

With it getting darker sooner, by 8PM I'm ready for bed, usually sooner haha. Was off for another 3 weeks after being out for 4 weeks. 1st week back may have been the highest grossing week for me. So that means this USA Thanksgiving week will be subpar lol. I'm pretty beat. I'm planning on...

Sounds like a good day.

I drive and own a solo straight truck right now, and struggling. I'm sure there are some fleet owners doing well, I just don't know any. It's a struggle for anybody, especially right now with low rates and lack of freight/high competition. And the cost only increase with straights. Teams have...

Owners can't keep drivers in the van as it is. Too many people getting a piece of a small pie. 1 van operation with a driver would be hard to make anything worth wild, and you have all the risk. It's not as easy as it sounds.

I'm back haha. I've been off work for a month after my truck was hit by a run away forklift. Yeah, you read that right. Was dealing with some back and neck pain as a result. Due to possible litigation I don't want to discuss it more. In a unrelated event, I just dropped $8,600 to get my turbo...

He's been back with L1 in a Sprinter running OTR with his wife for a couple of years now. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Sad thing is he has grossed 10K more then me in a van and took 6 weeks off this year. He drives for an owner, but still the van grossed more then I have in a straight...

I know someone in his 70's doing it OTR. He used to post on here, I haven't been able to get him to come back on. I don't think you can go by a number. For old timers, I'm talking about wombat.

Got my new remote for the fantastic vent fan... Good News- it seems to work. Bad News - Nothing changed. Still runs on slow speed. I reversed the fan direction and that didn't sound good at all. So probably a motor issue going on. Lid up down doesn't work, so rain sensor doesn't work. This is...

Dang, you were having all kinds of fun :(

It's a tough call. Sometimes taking a load that screams no, could start a chain of good loads. Other times your kicking yourself for accepting.

I just took 9-10 days off at home. I was back in-service last night, then went out of service. Last week my fantasic vent fan started to only work on low speed, which pretty much doesn't suck in any air through the window. Problem is I have never had the remote for it and that's the only way to...

Delivered to John Deere last night and woke up here

Let's see, the rolling continues. George town KY to dahlren (where?) IL. Poseyville (Where? lol) IN. to KC. ----Seriously, hitting places I have never heard of before haha. Broke all records and did it in 19 days in July. Never saw that coming. 1st time in a week I haven't been pre-planned...

This midwest trip has been interesting. Pretty sick of mountain driving and no grass for my dog. After my drop in new mexico. I planned on dead heading back east. But got a load out of El Paso going to Louisville, Ky for Monday delivery. Despite being July and being out west, this has been a...

After the this weeks celebrity deaths, gives me the feeling it should be sooner

Camping out 75 miles from Denver. I thought Michigan roads were bad. I-70 West from Colorado Line to here are just horrible. Almost as bad as the Truck stops. Won't have much time for sight seeing in Denver, Got a surprise load out of Denver after I deliver going down to New Mexico. That should...

Normally I would turn down a load like this, but decided to go sight seeing to Denver Colorado, delivers Monday so no rush. It's been a really long time since I've been to Denver, and 1st time in the straight truck. With 90F temps, Hopefully, no snow issues lol.

Dateline: Indiana....Waiting for a load that makes sense. South West of Indy in a town I've never heard of and not sure how to pronounce :) Lost my position because I turned down an offer dead heading 3 hrs away, which destroyed my profit margin. If I was still in a Sprinter that rate would...
