    Mmmmm..... Dairy DeQueen....

    Sounds good.


    Kc really sucks
    Waco sucks
    Chicago (cali ave freight yard) sucks


    I'll take waco over all the alternatives. Actually get paid SOMETHING rather than an unpaid local or 1 mi dispatch screw you cartage shuttle.

    Though I have gotten a hazmat run to Portland from kc. Once. Lost 3 placards two in the same spot along the way couple winters ago. Got to meet the mutated hand Idaho permit man.

    Someone knows who I'm talkin bout...


    My three places I hate:

    Front royale va/DC area (exception of 395 monument areas of course)
    Witchita Kansas
    Miami Florida

    Detest all these places.

    Places I like going:

    Calgary Alberta (hottest chicks& great runs)
    Oakland California (that's right I said Oakland)
    Omaha Nebraska (friendliest people)

    Waco, Jacksonville, Joplin were my 3 least favorite -- never got a good run out of them.

    Usually got decent loads out of Montreal, Fontana, & Laredo (though they had their share of short hauls too).

    So far I have had descent runs out of Laredo and El Paso. One to TN, and one to KY. I got a New York load out of Joplin once. Only because 2 people in front of me passed it up.

    Used to live near Jacksonville. Is there a lot of freight there?

    Seemed like everytime you delivered near Jacksonville you'd wait a day before getting dispatched on a 3-day delivery to a department store 1.5 days away.

    Seemed every time I went to Jacksonville I got raped by bud.

    Good run to Houston or Laredo usually.

    Then again I avoided the star yard.

    Ethier water or alchi water
