    When I lived in northern MI I had Cricket (AT&T) and service was very spotty at best when you went outside of town, and even in town it wasn't that great. Verizon is hands down a lot better in that area

    I hear T-mobile has come a long way in the last 15 years.

    I had T-mobile at that time and they sucked as bad as Cricket.

    I pay 85 a month for tmobile. Unlimited data and throttled after 50gb, which i dont ever use up.. also have a verizon phone on a family plan.. out west i get into places with no service with tmobile and have good service with verizon... I remember when i was running montana and idaho, get way out in the boonies only att would work... Tmobile recently pulled their towers off our mountain near my house and i no longer get any cell service at home, so i think im gonna try att eventually since verizon sucks there too. Seems like they offer the same plan for 1 line , similar price as tmobile

    I've never gotten grief as long as I communicate what the issue is.

    Got 2 pleplans this morning. After I deliver this load at noon on Monday, I head to the drop yard and pick up a shot local run, then head to Morris to pick up Tuesday headed to Ontario, CA. The down side is, it delivers at 20:30 pacific, so this might be the 1st time I ask for a load advance on some of those miles because the reviews tend to be a bit negative in regards to unload times...as in, bring food, you're gonna be here a while, so I doubt I get unloaded before the end of Friday (central). Will put me over 4100 by the 8th. Good start to the month. If the new guy keeps this up, I may need some sweet-and-sour sauce to help me swallow some pride, with a helping of crow.

    Just saw this eastern euro trash coming down cabbage trying to pass me, but there was a car sitting next to me and this idiot went right up on the cars bumper and was flashing the headlights at a multiple times essentially tell the car to get out of his way… They need to get these pieces of trash out of this country immediately this is ridiculous with these idiots

    If it was me in that lane, I have a rule, the more they flash, the slower I go. That kind of behavior brings out the a-hole in me, and I guarantee, I can be a bigger a-hole than they can.

    I had one in Wyoming yesterday as I was going around a truck doing 4 miles an hour less than I was literally get within. I’d say 5 feet of my trailer. I brake checked his behind… He got all mad and threw a temper tantrum. I don’t care I brake for tailgaters
