    That's the only way I could work there, it was to sign a lease.

    I still remain grateful for my time and experience at TransAm (1 year and would have stayed another six months if my miles didn't go to poop last spring). It got to the point where I was sitting as much as I was moving. Either broke down or waiting for swaps. I still consider this the CHEERS bar of the blog. Where everybody knows your name. Abilene has a real good blog too and I will check out Magnum's blog too on occasion. I enjoyed traveling TransAm highways and by ways. Now, at Cargo I don't use nearly as much mapbook, I go to the Northeast much much more, but my miles are much more consistent and I get home weekly for a 34. A different rhythm to be sure. But, a better one for now.

    I maybe should have given TransAm more of a chance. I have been driving for over two years and still can't back. I see a lot of Cargo Transporters trucks but I have yet to see the driver that looks like Mark Cuban.

    Yep, that would be me, Mark Cuban lookalike, but nowhere near his tax bracket! Also, I still suck at backing, I just don't suck as bad. Cargo truck, sucks at backing, Mark Cuban lookalike, then you will have found me.

    Some driver is having a very bad. ..... and expensive night in NYC tonight. Didn't make that left turn at Tiffany wide enough, hit the barrier they have there, and tore up his trailer tandems. Hopefully he didn't tear the rails up and they'll be able to slide another set under there.

    On the Ohio Turnpike headed for UPS in Maumee (Toledo) later this morning with QVC product, then a backhaul from the Heinz plant in nearby Fremont headed to Selma NC. Miles were down. Less than 2100 but 800 miles got moved to the next paycheck and had just a four day week last week 1500 plus the carryover miles. Decidely average but oh well.

    I see some resemblance but not overly so. We've also been told that he looks like George Clooney.
