USN, 1968-1972. Yeoman. Loved sailing the North Atlantic chasing Soviet Subs.

Looks like my life in under 2 seconds.

That's right. Sylectus has that as an option to check when showing truck locations.

Oh yes! I did it in the winter of 2006 after a delivery in Burlington, VT in an 18-wheeler. It was the only way I could get to Plattsburgh in just a few hours. It was beautiful. More beautiful than taking the ferry from Windsor to Detroit with a HazMat load.

Ok. Ok. My use of non-stop meant 45-50 mph. I have to be so careful how I word things here. Why would you have to stoop so low as to say I am a failure as a human being? That's pretty low, Turtle. How about we start saying things like that about you? As usual, an informative thread...

See. Never believe a driver. My apologies. I must have been thinking something else. I was in Birmingham, AL. The load was committed to and the truck that was supposed to pick it up went out of service. I was the closest driver. It was about a 465 mile deadhead. It's not a normal...

Depends on how hungry you are. I deadheaded from St. Louis, MO to N. Charleston, SC. Picked up at Bosch and delivered in Laredo, non-stop. 2 hours later I picked up in Laredo to Michigan. Yes. I was tired when I finished but think of all the bills I paid when I got paid 5 days later. It's...

You know what they say. Never believe what a driver tells you. Unless you owned your own Sprinter, you wouldn't be getting $ .65 a mile at Blair. It's $.45 a mile plus a small FSC. Can you drive 7,000 miles in two weeks? Sure. I've done it. But with freight the way it is right now I...

Cute. It's no wonder I don't see you with an A. Blair decal on your truck anymore.

Just curious if you are driving a Blair truck and the Onan Generator is not functioning. FYI, I drove 2 of their straight trucks and was able to keep the generators going by doing regular PMs and getting them fixed right when they malfunctioned. Without the generator, the rooftop air would...

The illegals stay on the list. If you aren't from Texas, you don't understand.

God Bless Texas!!!!!

Gov. Rick Perry has talked In N Out to move their corporate headquarters to Texas. Not sure what city. They recently opened a new restaurant in McKinney and had to hire police to handle the traffic. It happened again this past week in Dallas. Near where I live is a place called the...

I was really impressed with the Polar Bears in "The Golden Compass". Who knew they had armor that made them strong. I never knew that. And, they talk!!! Gosh golly. I was equally impressed they drink about as much as I do. Whoodabellevedit!!! I gotta get me one.

As a vegetarian, the only food I eat with eyes are potatos. Hey DantheWolf00: Glad to get your name last night in Indianapolis. Love your Air Tabs.

That's what I wear now. But I would like to wear sneakers for better support of my feet. I buy $20 slip-ons from Walmart and wear them out.

Awesome!!! I hate tie shoes because I'm always removing my shoes inside my van. Maybe I can rethink that problem now. Thanks

I like those lamps. They add atmosphere. And, sometimes, the right "mood".

I rarely get a thermos of hot coffee prior to going to bed. But, I've been known to be lazy about that last trip into the men's room. A discarded cola bottle filled with what I would have deposited in the men's room might provide some warmth for a while, too. Just be sure the cap is...

So maybe I haven't checked this forum in a while. I have been using one of those cigarette plug in lunch box heaters with pyrex glass containers to heat my food in. I buy the crock mashed potatos and macaroni and cheese from WalMart. The Uncle Ben's packaged cooked rice is great too. I open...
