    Yeah conestogas are just sliding tarps on a flatbed. There best used for when u have a load like i got now , multiple stops and its fully tarps. A conestoga driver just has to unlatch the connie and roll it back and loosen straps then roll it back closed and hit the road, could be unloaded in about 10 minutes and on to the next stop . where i got to undo tarp , loosen strap , get unloaded, tight straps , and redo tarp . end up taking an extra 30-45 minutes versus 10 minutes.

    I spoke too soon. The chopper night training just started, echoing off the warehouse.

    I love the sounds of freedom.

    Made it to 3J’s...roll out in the a.m to deliver and grab my backhaul.


    STT-ism: Arlo Guthrie wanted me to date his 16 year old daughter when I was 23. That was a pretty sweet deal.

    My response was... uhhhhh dude I’m pretty sure that’s illegal. Pedophile ain't cool.

    20 years ago or so everyone told me I worked too much and needed to get a life.

    When I'd blow by them in my "A" condition '70 'Cuda, I'd think "Who's living large now?"
