    Why rest areas are closing

    Old-fashioned highway rest stops may be disappearing but are being replaced by new, larger rest stops. At least in the Upper Midwest.

    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    I'm not desperate. I got extra money up front. I'm debating heading back to Denver where this load originated or go over to Rapid City.

    Another expedite first for me. First time delivering in the state of Wyoming. Passed through here many times but never delivered. Another first would be a load out of Wyoming. But that probably won't happen in my lifetime.

    It's a Team's Life Riding the Roller Coaster part 2

    Excellent article! I always get a kick out of people that post a carrier guaranteed x number of miles per week. True, maybe, averaged over a year. But those miles probably included some very low paying loads which is still in line with their guarantee. Your roller coaster analogy depicted...

    I stayed at the Plainview Truck Stop several years ago. I delivered in Fond du Lac and had a pickup the nest morning in Oshkosh. It was raining so hard that parts of U.S. 41 were flooded. 41 was flooded under the bridge at the truck stop exit and traffic was detoured up the ramp and back down...
