    I've never seen a road one truck that could do anything over 65 without completely falling apart.

    I just had a good laugh. Customer sent order to pu tank at Cp but when driver got there, it wasn't there. Customer then says, it's at Landers. So we send driver to Landers and tank wasn't there. Turns out it's at 47th. Customer yells at dispatcher that were charging for 2 dry runs. Says "it's your job to verify tank is there before you send someone". Dispatcher politely says, no, you sent us the order to pu at that rail. Woman is upset that it's going to cut into her profit on the load

    Anyone see that roll over at the corner of Baseline and Arsenal rd before you get to BNSF in Elwood Friday?

    It was a 3-car hauler that had two new Pickup trucks on it. What's the speed limit at that intersection 35?

    Those car haulers are always hauling ###!!!!....it's almost like they think they own the road!!!!.....but, to be honest, I've sat at that light and seen more than my fair share of containers leaning so hard I thought they'd end up on their side, right in front of the cops!!!!!!!!!

    Ya, I don't think I've ever been at that intersection and not seen a cop around. I'm almost surprised at some of the things I see

    I hate that corner, it's built like ####. So is laraway from 53 to the stop sign. Seems the engineers thought it would be a good idea to have the road lean to the outside on corners. My bunghole always puckers when pulling a loaded tank on that road.
