    New rules for getting on bases

    Minnesota is lagging behind on the enhanced drivers license thing. I carry my passport and birth certificate with me. If my driver's license and those other forms of ID won't get me on base then I'll just lean into the pitch. Hey, I'm a team player. Whatever it takes!

    Cheap Freight to No Freight

    Last night I accepted and picked up an NLM in southern Missouri, delivering in Chicago for .79/mile total. It has been at least 2 years since I have accepted a reduced rate load.

    It's long and tall so it gets squirrelly in the wind. Fortunately I haven't wind and icy roads. Just one or the other. I think having a longer wheelbase would help keep the van a bit more stable in crosswinds, but apparently Ford doesn't. This spring I plan on adding a rear anti-sway bar...

    Ya, well it couldn't have been Trooper Solverson. Old Lou had to retire. He runs a restaurant up dare in Burmidji. Still gets all his ground meat from Luverne, ya.

    Nice! Take a slight detour over to Luverne and say hello to Sheriff Hank Larsson, okay then. Too bad the butcher shop burned down. They had good sausage. I have a small hand craved turtle and a peace pipe made from pipestone.

    Yeah, now I'm really going to stretch my legs and walk the perimeter of the Wally World lot a few times.

    Help with Winter Driving...

    You will be dumping the collapsible bladder tank along with it's frozen contents. Menards sells 70 pound sand tubes. If you do get stuck on ice just open a tube and pour out the sand. Also good for filling in potholes in truck stop lots.
