    Save it or not.

    Got rid of 6 or 7 of them last night to the guy loading next to me. Not sure he knows they need a air source but he thought they where the greatest thing since sliced bread.. Gotta feeling I should have left them on the docks when I unloaded or at least asked for dumping fees. Blankets and...

    Canada Getting searched by Border Patrol

    Good info OVM I didnt know that.. I assummed most Canadian drivers have a number as how far they want to go into the states and still be able to return home on the same page. I know with the last carrier I was with, I hated going deep and having to wait for Canadain freight coming back up.

    Save it or not.

    The last load left me with a snot load of Dunnage bags. (air bags to cushion the freight) These are of good quality and reusable up to 12 times. My Q is how often do you think there would be a use for these if Dispatch knew they where on the truck? Right now I'm thinking never. Q for the folks...

    Giddy Up EXpress..:) All joking aside is it the industry that changed so much or is it our lifestyle that makes this job so difficult at times/keeping us from getting ahead at times. No doubt as a whole we are wastefull society and it is costing us. At times it seems like 1 step forward and...

    Ya gotta try to remember we may have strayed off topic and started to refer to Daves lenght of service.:) 3 dollar rooms I dont remeber but seems I can remeber what they use to call efficient rooms, not hotels for 8 or 10 bucks?? (May have been the flop houses now refered to as crack houses.)

    LOL. In the short time I been here I have managed to weasel a few for a driver. Its a hard sell now to get dispatch to spring for a room but if they really really want em to sit tight they just may do it.

    California - Fire Extinguisher Inside - Sign

    I would think the signs would be required for the drop and hook folks that jump in and out of different trucks all day long. Any first responder coming to your cookout is propely bring his own with him. Unless a fire ext is a explosive device under heat then I would think they want to know...

    How Goes the New 34-Hour Restart for You?

    So she went on a overnight camping trip. Of course it was fun and a lil eye opener. She may have been out possibly for 34 hours but she didn't experience a reset..No different then a kids first trip to a candy store with his own money in his pocket.. At this time I feel like this is nothing but...

    Excutally thats how we try to do it with them..Being part of it or at least some it really helps with their exp. Plus as much feild hunting as we do, it makes or breaks em esp if we are humping bags of decoys in and out.

    Did ya give the youngin a full taste of the work involed setting up a hunt. Or did ya make it easy on him and have it all set up and tore down. Been 2 years since we had a rookie with us and he hasnt been back but I dont think it was due to the work involed..He was a freind of a family member...
