Oh and what's with AT&T? Internet went out Mon night and was gone all the way from Peabody Mass to Niagara Falls...

From what I've seen you're not missing anything

Well most of it (after a 2 hour drive to relocate) I spent in the van. Luckily I set my mattress up for a perfect alignment for the drip from the roof to hit me directly in the forehead. Rather than get up and move I just put the blanket over my head. Got a call before noon, then a few minutes...

Not used to being empty and rested...kinda boring waiting I don't remember what beer tastes like...but if I think it tastes good, OOS again...

You guys were busy while I was gone...posting:p 10 minutes to get back in plus some time for dropping that tiny nut in the frame never to be seen again whike inventing some really creative cusses Back in service. Told to head to Mass. And see how that works out

By the way it's chilly in Maine

So got the starter out (hour to figure out what tools and 20 minutes to remove) some cheap off brand thing ive never seen before, everything was fine save for the gear wheel separated from the shaft and rides free instead of turning with it. Napa 's delivering around 2 ish straight to the truck...

That would be nice but all I get is ZZZZzZz...ZzZZzzz...ZzzzZ

Contemplating my broken starter. At least I'm unloaded and off the shipper's property

I plan on buying one and being chauffeured while checking out the scenery and hiding from the wife :D no I still need to be with the van honey lol

Not sure if that was sarcastic or not :p There's a whole lotta union personnel that have "protected" jobs, some of them tell us where to drop our stuff...haven't seen where that's handled yet, how does a cranky shipper tell it do go to dock 34 take 2 lefts and a right ...I remember the buses of...

About to sleep at Lewiston walmart. Didn't actually need to be here until 8am but good nights sleep and return already booked to 45 min from home

Got a little lost on my way to Lewiston, Maine. Fortunately this helpful guy was able to get me straightened out. He wanted me to come a little closer, but I had a schedule to meet. Going to hang out after midnight for a couple beers, and I can ask what he was doing in the sewer.

Taken from an investment website (mish) a shorter version interpreting state and federal position on autonomous vehicles "As the digital era increasingly reaches deeper into transportation, our task at the U.S. Department of Transportation is not only to keep pace, but to ensure public safety...

You being in a 5 ton I guess so! I can just see arriving at a shipper in my van after he demanded a dock level truck..."Really its the same! Just drop it on this!"

Its a niche thing, been around for a while. Kind of brought it up jokingly bc the last thing a cargo van needs to do is REDUCE his weight capacity...

Love that last post, Moot. For anyone wondering where DOT stands on this http://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsa/av/pdf/Federal_Automated_Vehicles_Policy.pdf 116 pages. Basically expect the process of millions of drivers being replaced to begin around 2020. Freight companies love it. Insurance companies...

Ok I'll bite...what post, they're still here for me All of the new guys posts are still there...i agree with him but us drivers band together? Not likely. And nobody would take notice until we did and they were stuck with freight they agreed to deliver (but couldn't) I pick and choose what and...

Well that makes sense, seeing how I'm on the east coast :D Money in antiques, all around. Probably more than when I carried military parts I don't really know where the industry is going, as for vans...I do know most of my runs are unique and not repeats, next is plastic beakers to Maine lol

Happy birthday!!!
