Carolina's and me just don't play well together...never have...:)

The southeast used to do great for us just about every time. ATL was a sure fire load. Charlotte too. Even Columbia. Knoxville area BLED freight. Of course I'd say the same for Dallas, Dayton and many others. The times, they are a'changin'.

Come on now! You got out of Laredo in 24 hours! You have to have a break sometime. Let some of the rest of us make that money. lol. I always get loads out of the south, but me and Laredo have never seen eye to eye! Amazing how that dynamic works. It's like certain geographical areas of the country hate certain expediters. :-(

I get out of California every time I'm home. I hear a lot of people complaining that there is no freight on the west coast. I do however have problems getting out of El Paso. I like to call it El Ahole. That's what this job is all about! Different strokes for different folks. I'm getting stocked up on all of the new meds they got me on over here. I'm only 35 years old and I'm on cholesterol meds, diabetes meds, two non-narcotic pain killer meds, a blood thinning med, a special supplement to keep my leg from cramping up. All I do is swallow pills every day! I wonder how many meds I will be on by the time I hit OVM's age. lol.

I was on the road way too long and my INR level went down to 1.5. That's why I haven't been feeling well. When it drops that low my body throws nasty blood clots. It's fun living life on borrowed time. I hope to be back out in a few weeks once the snow and ice are done reeking havoc on the road. Are any of you watching this terrorist stuff on the TV today. I thought Al Qaeda was on the run according to our commander and chief? We're living in a so called civilized society and our entire world come to a screeching halt because three angry Muslims have a machine gun? Is it really that easy to shut down an entire city, state, or country? I mean really? Any how, I hope you all had a merry Christmas and a happy new years. Here's to a good 2015! May the freight gods look favorably on you!

Maybe they didn't adjust the tire pressure after each tire rotatiot that was performed with every oil change.

Or else they did what a Walmart in Lancaster, PA did to me: put 35 psi in my new rear tires. I could tell they were low without checking them, and I went back in the shop and confronted the manager. After the problem was fixed, I listened to the manager read the tire kid the riot act :D

Maybe, its time to start doing pre trip inspections here pretty sure, I'm gonna have to stay on top of these new tires...I was hoping for at least 80k out of them. Maybe on the next set if I pay more attention to detail. As I'm sure that's the exact reason for it.

Hey Murray... he won't shut up until he takes YOUR job. He starts by telling you how to do it. Ask John. :eek:
