    If you are in Syracuse, eat at Dominic's. Drop your trailer at the Pilot and bobtail there.

    How is your experience with McLeod thus far? Are the paychecks what you desire?

    Easy does it in the snow especially in the Yankee states.

    Going into Johnstown. Will enter "blizzard zone" after 8am Wed when active snow should be over with.

    Too early to give analysis of job. It's only been a week. A few things I'm not crazy about, but nothing that makes me miserable...yet. except Cascadia. Cascadia is every bit as rough a ride as the one I had at WFX. I doubt I got 2 in a row with no shocks or springs but I suppose it is possible. It is like riding a sea-do. It hits bumps head on and Flys over them like dukes of hazard. It literally hurts to drive I-70 through Indiana. Maybe it's the position on 5th wheel. Wondering if closing it up would help?

    They are using netradyn (spell) forward facing cameras similar to lynix. Tracks everything. Don't like that because my over achiever self wants a perfect score, so I've pretty much stopped checking. I guess I will hear about it if they don't like the way I drive. I am not counting on bonus anyway. Carrier apu is ghastly loud.

    As I said, too early to give opinion as to how this is going to work out. Kinda stuck at this point anyway.

    Just a dumb question I could probably Google but what the heck… I’m already here!
    Is the ‘Powered by McLeod’ label I see on some trailers related to your company?
