    Newbee in Boston

    I do a good amount of local to fill in between expedite runs. Expedite still pays better, but being home same day and doubling up runs makes up for a lot. I've heard it's a hard day doing an Amazon run, piece rate and home deliveries. But better than sitting. Expedite I find air freight and...

    Canada Canadian Sprinter Companies

    I think to make it you have to mix in lots of local, Canadian expedite only deliveries aren't where they used to be...look for a company with their own customers If you're worried about empty miles, the best solution would be to move to the United States...

    Wimps. Here's the Temps in my van while moving (It actually hit 49.5 C which is 121 F) Started last night in PA at 11c (52 F) and it just kept getting hotter (as I drove northeast!) . Now home and under the comfort of an air conditioner roof, contemplating the sprinter condenser on the front...

    Does Anyone Use a CB Radio Anymore?

    Got one of those galaxy units before they disappeared at Pilot. Was great in the winter, had a couple warnings about trucks sliding backwards downhill I avoided...spilled an entire pot of coffee on it a couple years ago and I've been afraid to plug it in

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    So my idea that since it wasn't on a sign not to use the plugs at a truck stop it was OK wouldn't have gone very far...

    I just hope these apps aren't creating a false idea of cheap shipping like I think they are. Every bit counts if it's worth the hassle I guess

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    Spent 6 months crawling all over commercial buildings when my inverter went out...(printer) got some strange looks Was totally prepared to pay for the power, had a penny ready for a tip (say 10c a kilowatt, 500 watts for 2 minutes) Is there such a thing as theft under a buck? To be fair, it...

    Originally the US was supposed to be a bottom up, people then states then federal system...think real change would take a rollback of people's attitudes (couple hundred years worth) From outside it looks like people have problems and are turning to their "leaders" to fix it. How about any...

    Fire all the politicians and elect those that understand the constitution. That would require people to take responsibility for their own selves, so yeah, won't happen. When will people realize government can't fix anything? And why would they feel the need to when their lives are not affected...

    Going somewhere north of Sudbury, halfway to freedom... 25 more years and I can retire to a set of coordinates on a map instead of an address... or sooner if the kids start moving out

    Pray for Dallas.

    That's my point. I don't often see police where I chose to live. We're free to move within our own countries to whichever state (or province) gives us what we're looking for. Not every police force or area in the country is racist. Put your effort and money into an area that reflects the way you...
