    That is expected as it doesn't deliver until Monday and I plan to hit the yard tomorrow anyway.

    I've used an iPhone. Too basic for me. I switched to Android and never looked back. But last year, my daughter needed an upgrade for the iPhone 4 she was using. So, I gave up my Galaxy S2 to her and got a flip phone instead. Figured that with the tablet, why would I need a smartphone? This was before the decision was made to return to trucking. This job has opened several reasons to have a smartphone. And very few for talking.

    I'm interested in the Motorola Turbo II. But I haven't made any decisions yet.

    Well, still waiting to unload the shopping carts. There was one of our O/O ahead of me and they are just now getting to him.

    I would love to know what they pay the company to haul those carts. Most of them look like they are worth less than $5.

    Doesn't seem like a good idea to pay for hauling scrap half way across the eastern seaboard.

    That's the way I go every time. It will take you out at the 101mm on 95. Just make sure when you get to pahokee you follow the truck route. A few towns but good running to 95.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Thanks. G maps had some other back roads north through Indian town but I will just stay on 76. That will be far enough north of wpb to avoid that traffic.

    Do we need actual authorization to fuel in florida or is it just a case of not getting more than i need to get out of the state?

    They are probably just a good back haul load nothing great... And the scrap carts are refurbished and sent back out looking like new.

    Probably cheaper in the long haul to renew and reuse the same carts over and over vs junk piling them.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    No authorization to fuel in Florida. Just fuel. When you get on 95 you are 28 miles to Fort Pierce. There's a pilot at exit 129. At exit 131 is a new loves and a flying j.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Everything about Walmart is junk, even their carts.
