Eh, once we figured out what the problem was, he was fine. He just thought I wasn't answering the call. Can't blame him for that. It was all good by the time we hung up. Just one of those things.

Unloaded in Toledo at 0530..6.5 hours early afer a 1.5 delay at the shippers...went straight home (8 miles from the house) and to bed!!

Good Afternoon!! !st cup of coffee down and a new pot brewin!! Dyamite, enjoy those pickles..they are great!! And, was that you the othed day that i parked 2 spots over from?? Brian stopped and talked to me, but didn't say who you were and i had 10 things goin on...you and the misses had just woken up and then I think you headed in for a shower...If it was, ia m sorry i didn't get off my butt and say hi!! Next time!!

Haven't done a 19 yet, but it sounds like there is sprinter meeting goin on up there..i might have to join it...i need to go get my old fuel card back...this new one will not add a whole shower credit, just the 1/2 credit...and i have yet to find a pump that will take my loyality card...so if i still have to go inside, it might as well be for a whole credit....

Between Laredo and Baltimore I have only found a handful that accept the loyalty card at the pump.... I try to use Speedway most of the time and only Pilot / Flying J when I need a shower or no Speedway around. Speedway has a very nice rewards program

Chris i have run that run twice in the last 10 days...there is a Plant in Marshall ILL about 50 miles east that runs multiple Expedite loads every night...drop and call dispatch and have them key an eye on the NLM board for those loads..most often they will bring you back to the SE Mich / NW Oh area...there were 4 different expedite trucks there last night..the only deal is, most don't go out till 2300 to 0100 so you are driving all night (my fav time) so get some sleep...

I bought some blankets yesterday at Northern Tool they had 2 for 14.99. There is also a Harbor Freight on Eureka in Southgate that sells them for about 10bucks a piece. You can also purchase them by the dozen at Truck N Tow on Schaeffer in Detroit. They also come out to about 10 bucks a piece and 3 guys can split the dozen up. I'm not sure what U-Haul charges.

Shadow If I remember right one was less than 10 bucks. But is this blankets for trucks and vans or just trucks ?

Dang, great deal. I just bought 3 at uhaul for $14.95 each. They did have felt ones for $7.95, didn't think those would cut it. Why didn't you post this yesterday? ;) would of saved a little. Are they the quilted type?

The ones I bought at Northern Tool are the quilted type moving blankets / pads. These are also the same type at Truck N Tow. I would imagine same type at Harbor Freight just not sure about their quality.

Chris you can use these in any vehicle ... I'm not really sure what you mean???
