On Tuesday my dispatch called me for a run from Detroit to Smyrna, TN. I turned it down. Yesterday, Friday, I was talking with the same dispatch, and she told me how much I missed by turning down that run... ok, let's start it. Another driver took that run, he delivered in Smyrna, then he had a...

That van was for quite a while with Panther... when I signed with them back in March '99, I had truck #1349.

I used to sleep on the floor when I switched from 18 to 4 wheels. But for few days only. I was about to sell the van and get back on my truck. Then I remembered about log books, chicken houses and all that creepy stuff, and I bought a cot.

I spoke to several drivers and that's what they told me... I drove a rented box van few years ago, but that was in Germany, helping a friend of mine to move, so I didn't care about the fuel.

I met once a "non-believer", but he was driving a regular cv. My guess was that he never had the curiosity to see how a shower looks inside. As a bonus, he had an overweight dog in his van.

They are expediters, they have a sleeper inside the box, probably a removable one. The only advantage of using a box van is that you can put more freight, even more than a Sprinter, but as in gas consumption, it really sucks, they get about 10-12 mpg.

Yep, only half of shower with minimum purchase of 14 gallons of gas. The shower will last for five days on your card.

When I was driving a big rig, not just once happened to get only one pallet or one barrel. I remember the very first time when I came to El Paso, I got one pallet going to Michigan...

If you wanna run 24 hrs without any break, then Tri State isn't the comp. you're looking for. Try small carriers, they'll give ya that kinda runs. P.S. Call Hana Express!

Yes, the guy called me earlier and told me that he was wrong, it was about E-1

Speaking about Load 1, yesterday I was talking to another expediter and he said that L1 dropped their pay rate to $.80... it's that true?

Still home... I turned down a run to Smyrna. The truth is I was busy and I didn't want to tell 'em that, I preferred to say that I'm waiting for a longer run...

See the guy next to me? He's an undercover agent, so be careful what you talk about fuel prices!

That was a good one... it's sad but true :(

When I hear/read that name, automatically my mind goes back in time when the Romanian Motherland Security, the government secret police, instead of protecting its people, it was actually the oppressive "machinery" against its people. What's more, they were cutting freedom pretending that it is...

Bolt? Never! Allstate? Yes! Thanks, hope the change will be a good choice this time!

Been home since Wednesday... they asked me if I wanna do a Laredo over the weekend, I said yes, but I found out that they gave it to someone else. Anyway, that one was in front of me but unsure if he wants to go or not...

Good luck and take care of yourself!

I asked Nissan about that beauty named NV400... let's see if they'll ever answer back...

Wouldn't be better for your old co-driver to drive his own van? With these fuel and insurance prices I don't know if it's worth to put someone to drive your van... just a thought. ..
