    Hope you feel better soon. That gout is no joke. Hurts like hell.

    There must be 30+ empty trucks here in Keasby. I guess they are figuring out that they need to pay better to attract and retain Tanker Drivers. The more they pay the higher they have to bid the rates. Its a good thing.

    I heard it on Sirius radio yesterday as a news item during Nemo's show.

    Don't have Sirius either. Just podcast, audiobooks and an I pod works for me.

    Haven't heard back from the DFA. Looks like if I want to haul tankers, I'm going to have to move :( Looks like Houston may be my best bet. But Louisiana and North Carolina might be interesting. Everyone around here requires 2 years experience, except for Quality Carrier and Indian River and I have heard nothing but bad things about either of them and they ALWAYS have an ad out. I actually walked into QC to at least talk with them and they were really nice but looked at me like I had 2 heads when I told them the ad said they would train. So :(

    Dag, has it gotten that bad. I knew I haven't seen many pumpkin tankers in the last 6 months. But when you only see 1 driving from Northern NJ to Delaware then you know it's bad. Is Dan and Debbie still there in dispatch?

    Internet is moving too slow tonight, or I'd go back and check myself. Where do you live?
