    Is this time of the year always this slow?

    This is a job where you have to be flexible , Sometimes I'm a truck driver who occasionally camps out, Other times I suspect I'm really just a camper who occasionally hauls freight. : )

    What's Laredo like?

    My experience you take freight in there at 1.10 per mile. After a week or so of baking, boredom and improving your ability to curse in Spanish You are happy to haul freight back out of there for .50 per mile But all the guys there longer than you will do it for .45

    I dont understand how someone can drive expidite loads

    If you keep an owners truck after he request you return it that isn't Grand Theft Auto because you have an operational agreement with the owner but as with most rental property failure to return the property is considered Theft by Taking or Theft by Conversion and you could be arrested. The non...

    A US Rep. As Stupid as Stupid gets.

    The problem is that all she knows about magazines and clips is what she has seen from Hollywood. It's a common stock scene in any action thriller for the Hero to dump his empty magazines and pop in a few fresh ones while taunting the bad guys with witty comebacks. The clip dropping is often done...

    North Korea

    A threat from an Asian communist country is yesterday's news. If Kim converted his entire country over to Islam and started screaming Jihad then we'd be invading him next week.

    After an apocolypse

    Thanks I have been much better since I cut tomatoes out of my diet. I still have an occasional slice of pizza ( I can order it from papa johns without sauce) and Wendy's chili doesn't seem to cause too much reaction. I've found meatloaf is just as good with a light glaze of brown gravy as with...

    The Answer to insulating C/Vans and trucks.

    I have a GMC Corsair Van with the Fiberglass Air swoop over the cab. I find in summer it let's in much heat. The box is insulated with 1/2 in foam board and expandable foam covered with 1/8 ply sheets. The air swoop is such an odd shape that I've been wondering what's the best way to insulate...

    After an apocolypse

    Oh and here is a survival tip a friend shared with me recently. If you are looking to having to live off the land, start collecting and saving pennies. The copper /zinc alloy used in the American 1 cent coin can be melted down fairly easily and converted into arrow heads. If you spend hours...

    After an apocolypse

    So true. A few years ago I started feeling worse and worse. I was run down, suffering from severe migraines and Mood swings. I had odd feelings of swelling and shortness of breath, often after eating, my mouth would often feel burned and tender. Over the past few years I've found that most of...

    Carrier cutting rates

    I stopped going to Laredo last year after a boring 7 day sit then having to DH up to Dallas to begin even thinking of getting a load. Only bright spot was I got to put my Rosetta Stone Spanish II learning to some use.

    Unloading Rules

    At delivery they could have one of those ramps like at the paper ills for wood chip trucks. Drive on, clamps grab the axels and it tilts the van up at a 70• angle. Pallets unloaded ... No problem

    Unloading Rules

    Lol Or we can all get those small mini vans and refuse to haul more than one pallet. "Banning the Van" would suit OSHA and The Government fine as they would love to get us all tangled in their logbook, HOS, Weigh Station harassment web.

    Unloading Rules

    The power deck looks nice. How would it handle non pallet loads? I've picked up metal hoppers and plastic bins that are not on pallets. Looks like this would limit your load options.
