That's one reason why I shy away from going that far out west. Its too easy to eat the previous loads profit relocating to a better area, which usually adds up to big empty miles.

That’s something I learned quick expediting. I let the dispatchers keep me going where they want to run me. This is a wonderful business to see America, but you’re not out sightseeing.

I have to go out west for Christmas, and all I’m thinking about is, I hope I get something that will get me back east.

Loaded, El Paso, TX to McAllen, TX. Been a long week since dropping in Los Vegas, last Thursday. Relocated to LA for Friday, then four cancelled loads. Relocated to El Paso Tuesday night.

Yep, pretty close! Then the dry run miles, the trip to Venice beach. Carrier payed $ .35 for the relocate miles plus the cancellation miles. The first cancelled run was legit, bad part at a machine shop. The other’s were BS, cheep shoppers! Definitely going to average out the miles and pay when we get close to where we started (Detroit). Any way, some times you win some times you lose.

I don’t know who designed these roads in Detroit, but they obviously didn’t know jack crap about designing streets.

Between the pot holes rattling my guts out, a-hole drivers cutting me off at every opportunity, and having to go right and make a U-turn to turn left at every friggin’ street, I’m so upset, I could punch a puppy dog right in it’s face.

I resemble that remark!

Now that pot is legal, will someone admit that “left handed cigarettes “ played a part in that design ?

Michigan Speedway should take out turn 2 and do the turn right to go left thing. It’d make for an interesting race.
It's actually an ingenious method to control the flow of traffic and ease congestion at busy intersections. I'm surprised more areas haven't adopted it.

Yes, I had enough of Michigan this week myself. The "no fault" insurance there in Michigan I believe creates a more agressive and wreckless driver who doesn't care about the other driver.

Not t just here (Michigan). I rarely if ever see speed laws enforced anywhere I go.

Way back in the 1800’s the mayor and city council had a planing meeting of how the streets should be laid out. It was decided that the town drunk would walk around with a big bag of flour on his back. They would put a small hole in the bag and would follow him around each day until the city streets were all mapped out. Little known fact.
