Just playing Devils advocate here. This is all based on the person being able to book a load going back to Canada, the same place, 3 times a week? To tell you the truth, that sounds pretty much impossible unless you have an agreement with a shipper already?

I checked the load boards yesterday and today and doesn't look to promising to get back up there on a regular basis.

I'm sure people will just respond that you need to hook up with a shipper. Well, you don't pull shippers out of your azz on a regular basis.

Not trying to be disrespectful here Rank. Just a debate.

Yes, it paid untold amounts of wealth plus fame!!

By the way, are you using the Canadian version of the Atlas? It's only 500 miles.

I'm loaded up and heading to a little town in Missouri with what I thought was concrete barriers but instead are prefab concrete walls that measure 35' long and 8' tall. I have 2 of them on here sitting on a steel frame leaning up against one another. Everyone I guess puts 6 straps on them. I have 15. After I loaded up I went across the street to the High School parking lot and drove around in a circle over all the speed bumps. That loosened up the straps a little so I felt better. Drove 50 miles and checked again and they were tight.

I'm pulled over for the night and will get an early start in the morning so I'm sitting at the customer site before 6am. I love driving at night.

I'm trying to make my way home to put some money in the bank. I still have enough to stay out for at least another month or so but I forgot my pin number for online banking and they shut me off after 3 failed attempts. Now I can't transfer money from my savings to my checking account debit card or pay my bills online!!!!!!!! This is the second of third time I've done this since they starting forcing everyone to use more complicated passwords.

Get yourself a thumbdrive. Any size is fine because the database is going to be very small.

Download KeePass and install it. It will not only create highly encrypted passwords, but it will store them as well.

You can keep a copy of the database on your thumbdrive so you always have a safe(r) update of the list of passwords.

Thanks Colin. I do have all my passwords, numbers and you name it on my laptop in an encrypted file but I was too lazy and thought I remembered my password and totally spaced out. I did 2 attempts and was going to stop and forced a mouse click on my touch pad by mistake!!! DUH!!!

All the ladies at the bank know me and they know it's me on the phone but won't reset my password.
