    Buchanan out of Fort Wayne. You could be Midwest and do flatbed. Don't lease on. Buy a truck outside and lease on.

    It's a red flag that poly trucking covered up part of their previously offered pay. It would be better to just remove the whole graphic.

    3.5 more months at SNI. He has a year. Sni tankers? DG acount probably pays better and he could apply to DG directly after a year? Then be around a 100k a year.

    Now that I'm on social security the differences are huge. Oregon taxes social security and until our reported income numbers come down, we are talking about 9% to Oregon. Hey Florida, when these grandkids get older we are coming!

    The perfect storm is living in Vancouver and buying everything in Portland. EVERYTHING!

    That ... could mean 'loaded'. Maybe it is 20 cpm if not loaded?

    So you plan to quit and then go back? You quit without notice and they probably wont take you back. Have walked from many a job for the same reason. Got another and life goes on.

    Agree. For some people Vancouver is a great location.

    I grew up in a major metro area and living in one has no appeal to me. I prefer a more rural life but with a larger city nearby. I have always questioned why people would "live" in a place where they feel the need to flee to someplace else on the weekend (all those R.V. running the interstate between Wed eve and Monday morning... Or the Stereotypical Subaru with off-road bicycles on the rack.... ) Just makes no sense to me.

    I am encouraging the step kid to get it together and relocate from a camper in my back yard to Longview/Kelso area. That would fit him better.

    I’m cool. Cool as a cucumber. Back at work. Waiting for boss man to call to tell me I’m not getting the money I earned a few months back.
    I’m putting in my 2 weeks today either way. fedex just called back.

    Running teams pulling doubles out of Houston at 90 cents a mile. Unlimited miles. Or I might take the summer off.
