Hey Dennis, have you put a big screened TV in your MAX yet???

You can get a 3 or 4G Panasonic put a wireless card on it and stream it from your lap top. I have Dish at home and paid for an up grade on the tuner and now get everything on my laptop I get at home then stream it to the tv. I figured with all the room you have in the max you might like that idea.
I just did it for my driver and when I get mine I'll do it there as well.

22inch flatscreen with a built in dvd player waitin to e installed...I still need to finish offthe interior before I do that, but it will be done before the Expo....the video card in my laptop is crap..I have to wait 6 minutes to watch a 3 minute you tube video, so there ain't no "streaming" done on my laptop...when the TV was in the CV, I watched dvd's from time to time, but i don't watch much TV at all....

Still no miracle weekend load yeat, but this is the slowest week i've had in a long time. I guess we all need a slow week at times. I'm cool, gonna chill out and enjoy nature for a while before the busy week comes next week!!

Freight is popping up all over, just in the wrong areas for me! It's like whack-a-mole, you gotta be in the right area to hit the golfer when it pops out of the hole. I gotta get rolling soon, i'm saving up for a box truxk so I can join the Load 1 guys, and I do Canada too!! lol.

I posted a few weeks ago how slow it was for me, I have been busy every since.

As already posted; If you control your spending, know your operating cost (cpm), stay available, take those short loads once in a while and hit the road hard when the loads are plentiful, you will be just fine during the slow times. You may even relax and have a life.

Be safe out there.
