    I would, but my MyDish app is kicking bootae...and our DSL provider is boosting our speed on our service...great, now I have to buy a faster router to keep up. Just before I came in to get my bills signed I was watching the Cowboys game in my truck. The strange thing is, I've only used 20 gig since the 19th...I was home from 12/19 -12/26 then again over the New Years holiday...I'd better get watching if I intend on breaking 100 gig this cycle.

    and yet, Dallas won. Me, a bunch of yeunglings and a pair of big wild turkeys, thought it was a great comeback .

    Verizon is screwing me on the data, I'm sure I'll get a lot back in the class action that ain't filed yet. Or thought of.

    I used to could watch videos YouTube and play on the web. And a lot of videos too. Back then I was on the 6 gig plan.
    but then I'd keep going over my gigs and would have to up it.

    Now, I only watch my YouTube vids on free wifi and I still get close or go over.

    If if I watch a truck wreck video on here, I watch it on the iPhone to keep data usage down.

    a Mac Book for Christmas...boy Santa was generous. All I got was a dozen pairs of socks, 6 boxes of Cella's chocolate covered cherries (dark chocolate), some 'Smarties' flavored candy canes, some Smarties flavored smarties, a "world's greatest grandpa" plaque, and a $20 gift card from Wendy's (which is for my birthday which is close to Christmas).

    all this candy and my wife got a little testy (jokingly) when I bought her one of those 2 lb Reese's Peanut Butter cups in the truck stop (for a stocking stuffer)... I secretly think she is trying to kill me with diabetes so she can get my life insurance (so she can pay all those bills that aren't getting paid from all my truck breakdowns)

    it's about a middle class poor man just diagnosed with bad cancer. To provide for his family after he's dead he starts to make meth.

    Most people will not watch this show, they don't want to support meth.

    But I guantee by season 4 when Gus and Mike appear, you'll wish you were broke down so you can watch nonstop

    I'm so envious of you, I'd love to watch BB fresh from the beginning.
    I can't wait to I get altzeimers

    Got my call from outbound. I had a decent choice for tomorrow. MA, OH, MN, Laredo, Houston...and a group of multi-stoppers. I am headed to Buford for Thursday. Had me a bit worried. I read here that they had already run out of Monday freight by late last week, so I was expecting an early call for Tuesdays drivers...it was almost quarter till noon before he called.

    Rolled out today after 11 days off. First day always the hardest. Took the back roads up through Austin, NV and shut her down in Winnemucca tonight. Deliver in Sumner late Wednesday morning. Anybody know if that 0.02 raise that was being talked about actually came to pass?

    I am with you on Verizon Tucker. I used to be able to watch and do quite a bit of stuff on 5 gigs now it seems like I am bumping up on 5 gigs after a week or two of virtually doing nothing. A crock of ####.

    When I talked to Tony about the raise, he said it went into effect for the miles we run on the 1st full week of the year, which I believe he means this week. What I am a little confused about is, how do they tell the computer which miles are which when it computes the payroll. I mean, I turned in 2450 miles yesterday afternoon and I am on a 850 mile run today that, if they time my back haul delivery right, I will also be able to get the paperwork turned in by Sunday. So I wonder if I'll have 2450 miles at .48/mi and then the 1700-2000 miles on this load at .50/mi...I guess we shall see.

    From what i was told it's the first trip you leave a yard on after jan 1 gets the new rate. It will go by trip number. If you left the yard on Dec 30 and got back on Jan 4 those miles will be paid at 48 because the trip originated in 2014. Say you went to up north and left on Jan 4 then that trip on will be at the new rate.
