    Thanks for the encouragement, I like a challenge anyway...;). So question: Do you drive your truck home or park it at a yard or something?

    We take the trucks home as long as we have a place to park them safely. Mine is parked in my driveway as we speak.

    It's all smooth sailing on cruise ships. Ive been on 5 Alaska cruises in the inside passage. The ships stabilizers work really well, even in rough seas!

    I am 48 state and hit Richmond once a week. It's forced dispatch everywhere, not just NYC.

    I don't really mind going to the NE. I don't like NYC or I-95. In fact, I have lost more money traveling I-95 than I have made. I understand that driving the Satan's highway at night may be better, but I don't trust the 4 wheelers that travel that highway. More than once I have timed an off traffic time run, only to be held up by an accident or some other happening. There are simply too many people that travel that highway. I have seen it posted on this thread before that I-95 is the most dangerous highway in the country.

    95 isn't too bad between 11pm and 5am. I had a steady run on cruise control from the VA/NC border all the way to GA/FL border. Only really had to take it off cruise to get fuel in St Marys. On the way back out I did Hialeah to St. Marys GA in one shot, no traffic or anything else untoward.

    The problems arise when inconsiderate customers don't book appointments to suit those times!!!!.
