    Yeah that or the over abundance of soap they put in the washer buckets.

    Gearing up for full-time drive-away work (again)

    If you can't tow a car, drive-away can get expensive getting to the next job. Also you incur lodging fees. I met a couple driving a pair of school buses out west somewhere. They were headed to Seattle. They approached me to ask about expediting so I assumed they were looking for something...

    Haul of Fame

    I was sleeping at the Des Plaines oasis and got a load offer about 2:00 in the morning. Pick up at Ceva in Elk Grove Village and deliver to Ohare. It was a casket going to Boston. The load paid $125 and I was back in my same parking slot by 03:30.

    Flying J Flagpole Watch

    I was at the J south of the Beloit a few weeks ago and they had just installed a complicated, high tech, touch screen coffee grinder/ brewer/dispenser. It replaced one set of tankards. The installer and a J employee were standing by it and showed me how to use it. I wasn't impressed.

    England you says. Thems may not be commies but they drive on the wrong side of the road and they sure be feriners. We needs a wall built around Plymouth Rock to be keeping them from landing and coming into this country.

    Haslam? That don't sound like no American moniker to me. Sounds like they all come from some Commie country to me. Damn feriners dispensin are fuel.

    Flying J Flagpole Watch

    Which side did this Korean War Veteran fight for, North or South? Too many Commies are doing the capitalism thing. Just look at China. You can't have it both ways. Maybe that's why FlyingPilots have windshield washer in the washer bins but no squeegee/scrubber thing. Or no washer fluid but...

    Can't go wrong with a Blake Edwards movie, especially if Peter Sellers is in it.

    The Fake News Depot

    The last paragraph of the above linked article pretty much sums up how Trump's presidency is reported by much of the media; artisan crafted signature news. A media that desires to hold this president accountable simply must be accurate in its newswriting. It failed dramatically here, and...

    Look for holes in the ground. Did all or most Flying Pilots have flag poles?

    Classic Movie Saturday

    Don't forget Bullitt. Not much of a movie but certainly has one of the best car chase scenes. Front row viewing when I was a kid. Rags, whats on the playlist for today?

    The Trump Card...

    The problem with viewing the world with blinders on is you can only see what the man holding the reins allows you to see.

    Buying a van, wait until after July?

    If you have the green light from the bank why not start now? You need to find a van, right? You need to outfit the van for expediting with some basics like flooring, securement points (E-track etc.), insulation, roof vent, bed etc. It will probably take a couple of weeks to get set up with a...

    17’ Transit 2mpg boost

    I'm not very technically oriented or computer savvy. I keep track of the numbers and my wife does the spreadsheet thing. My biggest cost is fuel and I have some control over that so I keep a close watch on it.
