    June Lampoon:: Locations & More

    Ok. I'm going to gush here. Maybe I'm sheltered, but nothing can describe saying "ok google, navigate to (insert delivery address here)" and have everything pop up without lifting a pinky! Also tested "closest mcdonalds" and "closest walmart" and my choices popped up, again without lifting a...

    Turned down today's load. After 44 years, I'm going to try and get organized, so every long run isn't a family crisis. Demoted to local or not, 80 hours driving is 80 hours (Actually using project management software. See if that works) Oh, and buying an LG G Pad IV for a dedicated google maps...

    Never mind. We all know I'm too cheap. Time to break out the tools Btw my opinion on the 2019 Sprinter: it looks like an ugly Transit :D (It does however have a pretty 10 inch screen option to distract you as you annihilate that deer)

    Making homemade bread after turning down a load (yesterday took 20 hours) Not posting much too busy n cranky. But catching up, what is Mr 3000? A week? A month? My old route was 4000 miles a week, did that for 9 years. Steady money, but worked out to 83c a mile gross, hence the $2000 vans and...

    I get what you thought I said :p maybe some more coffee? The fact that you had a gas station to go to, no matter what the price, instead of trees and moose lol

    Hotspots and CLOUD act

    So, while aimlessly browsing on the internet, I came across something called the CLOUD act that was just passed. Wonderful that all the countries of the world share your personal information with each other without a warrant. Hotspots apparently give away your emails, banking passwords...

    Fool me once.....April is here

    Ouch! I had some complaining to do, but that blew it all right out of my head. That's more than I paid to buy my van Beautiful weather yesterday. Changed the drivebelt, air and fuel filter. Air filter was pushed up in the middle and sand poured out when removed. This one, I'll change before...

    Cargo Van Comdata Fees: Any way to avoid them?

    When will US banking come into the 90's? I remember in a brief stint with Key Bank in 2003, an "internet payment" printed a check at the cutomer bank, which was then physically collected by a person and mailed out. Made for fun and games in collections. I guess if they insist on Comdata you're...

    Cargo Van Looking to become a fleet owner

    I know the answers. I really don't think a step by step explanation would help you, without following through on the previous advice given here. Really want a crash course? Pick up a van or 5 ton for you, start calling for freight offers, and begin the process of solving the huge pile of "but...
