Blizzard, if we ever meet, I will introduce you to Dingle, the adventure cat. He has been able to train me to walk with him on a leash. He knows how much additional space I need, so he doesn't go where I don't fit. Dingle has the most satisfied curiosity of any cat. He has been on the road...

We just found out that the Petro, in Perrysburg, is going to be offering breakfast the morning of the Convoy for $5. AND they will donate all of the breakfast money to the Convoy!! :D Pretty cool huh?

I was unloading in Toronto, ON. Consignee came out to the dock and had me come in and watch the TV. I had 2 more drops on my truck. Delivered them, didn't pick up return load. Boss wasn't up for customs that day. The Canadian radio stations were saying that the border was closed. I called...

I got the last name of Silk by marrying a man with the first name of Purl. :eek:

Thanks, Jenny. I sent your post to the office, they'll get it figured out.

For those of you who take a break from the summer heat by going to GATS, we are going to be at booth 20022. I was just looking at the floor plan and it doesn't show up yet. It should be near the Pride and Polish area, close to Healthy Trucking Association of America.

I know that you've said several times in the past that appearance doesn't make a difference, mostly when talking about trucks. To me, the appearance of the truck and drivers go hand in hand. When I read Ateams description of their new look, I thought how appropriate. Just like TeamCaffee...

She told me last night that she thought she must have done something wrong when she answered your questions, because her answer didn't post. Since I'm a technidiot and she uses a Droid, I couldn't give her guidance on how to quote. After the continued responses (snort), she had no desire to...

Have you seen my collection of ex-husbands??? :eek: In this case, we've been friends for about 5 years. She has been an o/o for her entire expediting career.

And that is a big part of why she hasn't posted over the years. Beacon is a personal friend of mine. I just realized, its a sad statement. My best girlfriends (Beacon, SusieQ52, and Century49) are all quiet ones when it comes to posting on EO. Tell me something, if you had seen me listed...

Would a laundry service be able to give advice on this one? You know me, I'm thinking cover it with pink and purple swirls of fabric paint. :p

She has been running as an expediter longer than I have, but not with as many different carriers. :o

You may appreciate the personalized plate I saw yesterday UPS SLAV

We have additional sponsors!! Convoy > Sponsors Thanks :D

In Indiana, they have what they called off-site CDL testing locations. They had a class b truck available for taking the test. As I recall the cost was $150.

Are you suffering from the summer heat blues? :eek: Do you wish there was a trucking get together planned for cooler weather? :rolleyes: Would you like to step up as a community member and help out a good cause? :) Well, luckily for you I have a solution (or at least a suggestion). ;)...

Feel free to call with a load offer :D

If I were in a van, I would have been at the consignee last night, as I'm sure you do. I have attempted to talk to them about changing the check call policy, with no success. So I think the whistle might be the solution.

Sorry, no I don't. :( I have the small stool that folds flat. I use it for my 1st step, 2nd is the bumper, 3rd top of the tire, then up onto the engine.

I used my wonderful, magical, electronic log machine (once known as a Qualcomm) to log out of service at 23:45 last night. My truck was loaded, I was 105 miles from my destination, having driven 10 hours and 28 minutes. At 06:06 this morning I received a check call. Yes, I'm still in Max...
