Happy Autumn all. After basically taking the summer off so MrsWornOut could replace her worn out hip we are back at it. Been out 2 weeks and Murray has kept us running. Just under 8700 paid miles in 2 weeks. Been checking my rearview mirror for Mr. 3000. This week started with a BANG. Nogales AZ to Toledo, 2000 paid.

Oh yeah, Transit is 40 months old and hit a milestone this AM.

I hope NTB's Brand name tires last for you . I put 4 of their Best 10 ply tires on my van over a year ago , didn't make 60,000 miles and they were wore out . Liked the all season tread design and the Price , but first time ever i didn't get 100,000 miles on a set of tires purchased after factory tires.

U run the Miles
I run for the Money
I think places like Walmart, Costco, BJs... best in our driving. Price match, free (or low installation charge), warranty, lifetime rotation and balancing, plus bonus somewhere with gas filled.
4 Michelins for new sprinter - under $900.

I just bought 4 new Michelins at Belle Tire for just a little over $800. I usuallt get about 130k on these tires.

I take it your Kumo didn't even last half of what Michelin Tires would?

MT, at the J Anna, TX. Been running for 3 weeks, 10,200 miles on the odometer. We needed to put together a few trips. Felt like the tide was against us, since taking time off in July.
I stopped at that J for a coffee yesterday morning on my way to Laredo and saw a XPO sprinter sitting there. Never thought of pounding on your door.

And here I sit in Corpus Christi, bidding on the load in Laredo, thinking I'll be the only one to do it.

I’m here along with at least a hundred other expediters.

I know. I was just being sarcastic.

Got it. Btw i will be leaving this fine land later today where many a expeditor come to drop their load and die in expecting to get that one load back out. Plan on departing later today one way or another with a load or not. Not wasting my time sitting in this heat.

You mean you don't want to sit there until Monday morning to see if your odds improve?
