    I won't run asphalt as an O/O, the money lies with fuel. All their fuel drivers get "priority dispatch". City fuel drivers make almost $10 more per hour with B-trains than I do with asphalt.

    But we'll see how the next few months go. I'm going to start looking at different options.

    @TripleSix

    So I have been driving wrong all these years? I was taught to scan the mirrors gauges and what in front of you constantly. I figure I spend more time looking in the mirrors than anything. I was also taught before pulling out or crossing a road to look both ways at least twice? What's the mega advise for that, just go?

    In the US, it’s the media controlling the government. Same slant as yours. With all the drama that’s happened in 5, I think everyone wants to lighten the mood, so I am going to keep it light.

    Six back quiet.

    Happy Friday!!!! Unloading in the Cape, well Cape Girardeau that is. Gonna bounce to Dyersburg and pick up and head towards the house. Wife and I stayed out a couple weeks this time. We've been going home every weekend but we found some good freight to run and just decided to stay out.

    No you wait for all the 4 wheelers to get by and pull out in front of the flat bad with a 48k suicide coil.
