Getting ready to hop on a jet plane here in DTW. Off to PHX for the American Trucking Association Conference. Hopefully learning how they are fighting the implementation of CSA till they figure it out and make it fair for the drivers and the companies. In a year that you record the safest record in truckings history....does it make sense to change everything?

You have to save a least one item on that to do list for the next time. That way you will always be needed.

LOL, If i continue to wait and EAT until we are close enough to worry about sharing loads, I'll need to be on a diet ..... Now TPJ called and said something about meeting to watch football tomorrow ie neiter of us get loaded by then...Well with 2 Load 1 vans that close, then someone has to share, but my "dwell" time should push him to #2, :D o we will see... He does owe me a Steak dinner....:D

Sitting here in Oak Grove, MO. Just finished up a nice 2000 mile week. Nothingas good as old Guido over there lol, but a fine week nonetheless. Hey Highwaystar, is that you in the red Panther truck? I'm the guy in the unwashed bold cargo van right across from where you are parked.

Friday ran a Grand Rapids MI to Columbus IN. That put me about an hour from home so came here for the weekend.

Ok...Had a pretty good week last week. I took a mini on Friday and my check engine light comes on. Then it starts blinking when I'm going down the road. I'm pretty sure I'm having some cylinder misfires since it had happened to me before, but the problem cleared itself out so I thought maybe I had bought some bad gasonline before. I bought a can of dry gas thinking that would clear it up and the van ran ok for a bit then started to do the same thing again. So I'm thinking it's time to change the boots and plugs and gonna cost me about 400-500$ to fix. Plus I might need the coil too. So I am here in Salem hoping to get my van rolling again by Monday evening. Keeping my fingers crossed....

The spin will probably be something like, "See? All that PITA crap we're doing is working! Now, let's come up with some even more PITA crap!"

Nope. I have a white (imagine that!) M2 with C&M signs, and I got out shortly after that post. I'm at the Perrysburg Petro taking the rest of the weekend off and getting a water pump put on my Rigmaster Monday morning.
