    Dispatch. We’re trying to get back to PA; Nancy has asked me to avoid Cali due to the fires. Makes sense to me; if you have no power, you can’t work, and can’t ship. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    The “reason”, so to speak, is probably the fact that it’s time for new treads[emoji57]. The tires are still legal, but before the flakes fly, Baby should have new boots . A nice run home would be a big help at the counter. Boss suggested Salt Lake, so we came down last night. I’m a bit...

    The operation hit a snag this morning, just as it was entering a crackwh*re phase. I accepted a long run at under .70 because it was on the way back to PA. Arrived at the shipper at 1130 and was told the freight wouldn’t be ready until 1400. That would have made a tight run almost impossible...

    Operation Pretty Woman is off to a good start. Got a well paying shortie from Portland to a Tyson plant near Walla Walla WA. After dropping, we’ve moved to Boise to try to land another run [emoji125]‍♀️ [emoji125]. Goodnight for now; today started early and ends with the loss of an hour going...

    It's a Team's Life Lions, Tigers, & Bears, “OH MY”

    I assume also that you didn’t have to worry about all your stuff flying around in the cab. It’s so easy to get a little lazy and let something like this slide; harder to learn diligence by taking a coffeemaker to the back of your head [emoji50]. No, that hasn’t happened to me, but we have had to...

    32 last night in Cheyenne. No heater; we idle until it gets hot, then we jump under the covers. Works for a while, but eventually Nancy cocoons with all the blankets and I just Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    Probably not, but I chose to go the different route instead of just going back the way we came. We’re here, in one piece, so I really cannot complain. There were moments of sheer terror, but there were moments of absolute, breathtaking awe at the beauty of what we were seeing. Utah is one of the...

    Since last Monday: Relo from Austin, TX to Brookshire (Monday) Tuesday into Wednesday: Houston to Miami; room Wednesday night due to the heat. Thursday into Friday: back to H-town (Pasadena), followed immediately by a pickup to be delivered today in Wyoming. So this morning we meet the...

    Cargo Van Need to make money to fix this

    Instead of a hammer, I’d use two load bars and a 2x8, cut to fit between the side roof rails. Gently raise the board, trying to keep it level (tie an inexpensive level to the bottom), up to the original height. Repeat as needed. A helper would probably be required. Clean thoroughly, a little...
