    Finally, some of those Congressmen sound like they are on some serious stuff. Maybe once the dope fiends have been weeded out of their ranks they can actually get stuff done.

    Yes sir, I'm not sure how I feel at the moment. I've heard it's a scam (remember I started with Prime, that's their no.1 thing) and I've heard it actually helps. I believe the guy, he's like family to me.

    In other news, I'm currently home. Truck still broke down at the moment. Was told by part is on back order. No ETA when it will come in. Talking with dispatch to get a new (not brand new) but a different permanent truck. If that happens, that'll make 5 trucks in 90 days. I just want to work ehhh

    Well, I’m not thrilled about it and I’m not saying it’s not the “soup of the day” for those wishing to make a quick buck or two... but I too have talked with those that use them and swear by them... my wife being one of them and we both know for a fact that it helps her.

    So I’m hoping it actually does something for me even if I don’t currently want one... and hey, nothing wrong with getting a bit better quality of sleep at night and being a touch more refreshed.

    Time will tell and I’ll report back.

    Dang Dude... I know how much stuff I had in my truck and shiver just at the thought of moving it all from truck to truck... let alone FIVE TIMES in three months... ugh ... now I might have had more in my truck that the average bear.

    And even if not moving much stuff, you still get in a rhythm and hoping from seat to seat every few weeks would suck... plus the down time each time too... yuck

    Looks like all of the 18 volvos are being pulled off the road for transmission repairs. Ours was lurching at low speed, especially in reverse.

    Spending our afternoon moving into a new 760, there is not nearly as much space in this truck. Life is going to suck until they get us a big Volvo back.

    The new KW’s are arriving. There’s a few new ones sitting at the dealer.
