    Glad you had a good week. What do you mean stupid michigan lefts? I think they are better than a regular left, although I may be a little biased being from there. Also, do you now know that you can make your turn when the light is red? If you didn't know that, that's why people were probably honking at you waiting for the light to change. It's just a Michigan thing. What about those goofy lefts and turnarounds in FL? You can't even see past each other the way they do them down there. Have a good one!!!

    Nothing wrong with them I guess once you figure out you gotta turn RIGHT and cross three lanes of traffic immediately to get into a left U-turn lane when you're initial intention was to simply go LEFT! I guess it works, but not exactly what you want to encounter for the first time when you're on a tight clock. Yeah, it did end up being another nice week. How's it going with you? And Happy/Safe 4th to everyone.

    Sucks about your computer XLS, really weird too, we have one of their inverters and it will run my bf's laptop, my laptop, and our TV and dvd/blu-ray player all at once with no problem. Sure yours isn't faulty?

    We left Laredo with a load headed for Atlanta to deliver on Tuesday morning. Lot of sitting time for a team but good thing is we can stop through at my bf's brothers house so we are gonna spend a day there. We should be there in about 4 hours and will be enjoying the 4th then my bf will be driving out at about midnight to head towards our delivery.

    Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th!

    I brought it to the attention of the shop in Joplin and they said they had ran into it before. They said my charger just isn't compatable with inverters. I salute you for going the team route. No way I could handle it. I'd be dog-tired all the time. Enjoy ypur weekend.

    AT. I'm not so sure they're the same thing. Might be tho. I haven't driven a truck yet in Jersey but I have driven a car in Jersey Once and it seems like they may be a different thing. I shouldn't have used a strong word like stupid. Should have said strange or odd. At the time they had me a bit frustrated due to the tight clock I was on.

    They are basicly the same thing, in NJ you take a right then a left, in MI you take a right and do a U-Turn, then turn right and go straight back through the intersection, either way it's is a completly retarded way of turning left! lol

    I am sitting here laughing myself silly reading all of these. Xls, don't worry, I would have called them something even worse had I run into them on a tight clock if I had never seen them before. That tight clock stuff is one of the most stressful things about this job.

    Well we ended up getting our schedules all mixed up but it was nice to get to see Chris' brother.

    We delivered just north of Atlanta this morning and had a pre-plan to P/U in Huntsville, AL this afternoon at 4 PM. He is driving now and I'm gonna try and sleep... our schedules are completely backwards :/
