    Forgot about that one - though it took me 5 hours to drive 200 miles yesterday, when it rains in Arkansas, well - they confuse the shiny side with the greasy side.

    Wow, you guys are a bunch of slackers. :D I just checked and I have run just a hair over 37,000 miles this year already. I like my schedule of 8 to 10 days out and home for 5 to 7 days. I just wish my truck and trailer would hold together better and I wouldn't have to spent more than half my home time fixing stuff. Even my truck with 138,000mls is falling to pieces already. :mad:

    Does anyone else hate how MO puts the stupid vibration strip right on the white line?

    Yes, it does. Lots of sad crying face emoticons.

    That is all I do. Just back and forth to Alaska. That might have something to do with my high trailer maintenance. I spent nine cpm on the trailer last year and that did not include the twelve tires I bought for it.

    I heard it was pretty rough going up there. We've had a few loads that look appealing going up there but I've heard that the roads will beat your truck down plus I don't run Canada so that's out all together.
