    rapidgate card is best to get if you think you will be going to military bases on a regular routine, you can bypass all the waiting in line mess and go straight to your unload gate, its basically another TWIC card but not all military bases recognize TWIC where they do the RAPIDgate cards, ports also accept it

    Reefer. TQL has historically been pretty good to me overall, just the occasional crap show. Gotta take the good with the not-so-good I guess.

    It's always on where I live. It's a whopping 24 degrees right now, which is about 20 more than it has been. I refuse to go down south without a good supply of cold air in the truck
