I think the guy needs friends and family. Real people, not internet characters. He's lonely and spends money to make himself feel better. At least he's eating well! He should go on that TV show if they'd quadruple his $10,000 pay.

I was shocked to find out he's leasing trailers and doesn't have his name on the title.

Spends money on a one step up gear change and then needs an advance for tarps for the next load.

For an immigrant, he does have a better grasp of the English language than a lot of American public education victims.

Reading his blog is like watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion concerning his business acumen.

I got hooked when he posted on here about the trip he took to Newfoundland (was it?)

I believe he'll check in here. Love your blog Sarge! За вас!

Change gears, change Harvey Woods!

He's in touch with his feminine side the way he squanders $$$!

But for me you guys wouldn't know what to write about ;) You call me all kinds of names and still read my blog. In case some good guys are still here, here's a quick update:

- I now have a 53 ft FLAT (heavy duty Wilson) with a 10'1" tandem set at 41'
- Ordered a couple of 9' long dunnage trays and will be installing them in a week or so when I get back to ON
- Bought a new Ford F-150 XL truck (cheap version, but with 5.0 L V8, 6 speed auto, cruise-control, and bed lining); it is being built now either at Dearborn or Kansas City - the sales guy isn't sure
- I'm not spending money like crazy anymore: 10% goes into an investment account, 20% to debts; and the rest is for everyday expenses
- I decided not to participate in the World's Trucker TV, even though I was already in and was getting ready to leave for Brazil - too dangerous
- I now mostly truck 1,500 miles a week at $3/mi GROSS between ON and US
- I now have one 4' drop tarp - 16' by 27' but most of the loads I do do not require tarping
- Currently heading to Belleville, IL with a load of asphalt shingles, no tarp, 46,000 lbs

Hey...I never called you any names. But I don't read your blog either (wish I had time) so I guess it all evens out.

PS......At least Bruce gave me jackets for buying a trailer this time. :)

I also miss the adventures of tracer.

I'm a tracer fan.

Funny how folks do their best to chase off the interesting posters.

A pile of bodies is not a stable support for climbing higher in life?
