    Yup, same here. Verizon is a little on the pricey side, but I've had them for 12 years now, and I love the service.

    Wassup everyone. Hello from Trenton. Not much to report today. It was a short day, I only drove for 4 hours. I didn't end up going to London last night. I have a couple friends there, and they were unfortunately both working. Bummer, man. So, I stopped short in Williamsburg. I dropped my trailer in the drop lot up here, then checked my truck in for service. I am currently still waiting for them to be finished, should be any time now. I was given a Chick Fritz load going to Belleville Illinois. Quick easy trip, dnh at the final. I've already got a 10 completed and took a nap earlier. So I'll be grabbing another quick nap when my truck is done, then head out around 2am or so. Most of my day will be burned getting there, so hopefully my next load won't be too far away. I guess I'll see tomorrow. Hope all of you are doing well. Be safe out there. Keep the rubber side down and check your pins. Peace y'all.

    Welp students 1st full week is over, and hes done very good. From Sat to now hes tons better at paying attn to trafic merges, and pretyy sure hes tired of me asking about signs lol. He 1st got in my truck and signs were just a roadside decoration, but hes now reading them and making decisions. Next week we will hammer away at his backing....2700 for him his 1st wk pretty good, and now he gets to enjoy a day in half of leisure in the hotel. Anybody have any tips on tricks they use for backing? Ive learned explaining how to back is a lot harder than the actual backing lol. I can back no problem, but putting it into words has been a challenge for me.

    Brother, if I had my choice, that's the only way I'd run. By the time the cars come out in force, your day is half over. When the day is done, there's parking everywhere.

    Oh, the plans of mice and men. What a horrible start to the day. By the way, when did it become a thing to sleep in the drop lot? Thanks so much to the driver who caused me to get out and look no less than 10 times between hooking my trailer, and then trying to pull out. God I hate that stupid lot.

    Just catching up here, my bad. I'm using ATT unlimited for my web surfing and XBOX. $130/month for 22gb before they supposedly throttle xmission rates back but I've never noticed getting throttled back. Heck, one Xbox update is 5gig,,,,, hahaha. For real, I usually bump 50gb per month and haven't noticed any slow down.
    Note, I've been an ATT customer since my first cell phone by BellSouth, then Cingular now ATT. No complaints.

    This last summer I switched from Verizon to Xfinity Mobile, which uses the Vzw network. I got a new phone ($20 per mo) and unlimited data ($45 per mo). The $65 per month is $20 less than I was paying for Vzw 4GB per month. The only catch with XMobile is you must live in their service area (you could be either a Xfinity/Comcast TV or Internet customer). If you don't buy another Xfinity/Comcast service they charge an extra $10 per mo for their cellphone service. It's exactly like being a Vzw customer except it's cheaper. I haven't had one problem with them. I highly recommend them.

    I got throttled back 2 months in a row. So, I just got a second phone. Problem solved. Probably wasn't the smartest solution, but it worked :)
