Just crossed over into Ohio about 1/2 an hour ago and now at the tolls. Making a cup of coffee then back to it. Another 150 or so then it's nap time!

Well well well, looks like I may see Rev on the other side and a showdown with Bandit is starting to look promising. I'm thinking I'll make it to the border of Iowa today and maybe the Iowa80 truck stop but not sure about that. I get to pace myself since I can't unload until Saturday morning so no need to rush and especially with the time changes.

You won't be seeing me today. I'm taking my good sweet natured time getting going today, and I'm still up in Michigan. :lol:

Maybe by noon I'll feel like actually moving. Damn allergies are kicking my ass.

I'm at the Iowa80. Come on over TF. I'll kick your azz. I need a bit of trainning before I take on Bandit. :shock:

And then you woke up and apologized for even dreaming such a blasphemous thought.

Who am I?

I'm Batman!

:P

I'm starting to think that's what I have. I feel light headed today. It's either that or I didn't eat until just a little while ago.

BTW, let me amend my original post...

Wave when you drive through Iowa City so I can flip you the bird.

:P :P :P

Now, get this....He is leased on to a carrier and still pays $17,000 for insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, that's what I keep telling you. It's $11,000 a truck + $1,500 per flatbed trailer....with a clean record.
