I tend to stick to the basics, however I’ll second that Slingshot out of coralville Ia

Also any Lucky Bucket product out of Omaha Nebraska. Certified Evil, Snow suit, and their house label are bomb dot com, also if you are in the area. A $7 Uber from Sapp bros in Omaha at exit 440 or any of the truck dealerships if your getting work done. It’s 3 dollars to tour the brewery and distillery, includes a free beer and a shot. The tour guides are hilarious! I have toured it more than one and it’s the same great experience each time!

I do like to try local stuff Wisconsin has one called spotted cow that I really enjoy. Got it at a pub in Beloit but don’t know where it’s made other than Wisconsin.

Good for you man. I appreciate folks who like the basics. Got into it with a friend recently because of my love of Budweiser. "It's sad that you dring an old man beer with all the options available today". Ok, cool. Let's review. While you were being a pu**y in high school and walking the line for teachers and parents, I was the party guy you looked to for something to do on the weekends. C'mon man. Don't look down on me now that you're a hotshot attorney. Your $30 six pack isn't impressing me. Bud did fine for me back then when I was hooking you up with the cool kids. Still works now.

So, if someone put a gun to my head and told me I had to pick the scariest driving situation I've ever had, today would be the one. Holy mother, man. Picked up a load in Akron going to Grabill IN this morning. I've driven through two blizzards in NY and today was worse.The wind was unbelievable today, I can't believe that the DOT wasn't forcing trucks off the road. I white-knuckled it to my delivery, then white-knuckled it to my pickup in Ft Wayne. Parked immediately after that. I needed that load to get home for my wife and her family tomorrow. Radio off, both hands on the wheel, no distractions, never went over 55. Saw 3 trucks laid over from the wind. Scary as f*ck. There were a couple times I was sure I was gonna join them. Got my delivery off, made it to my next load, then got parked. Didn't make it home tonight as planned, but I'm safe and alive. Mama will see me at home alive and in time for the festivities. Jesus, today was no joke. But I'm still upright and talking to y'all so it's been a good day. Wasn't sure that was gonna happen. This system should be dead by 11pm and I'm leaving at 3:30am. Mama isn't happy that I'm not there tonight, but you can't hold a dead man. Be careful out there guys, and Happy Turkey Day in advance. Cheers, hope y'all are doing well.

Stayed there once on a Landstar load, I feel ya. Kinda feels like your an enemy in friendly territory. Only went there once. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to see my moose again.

Hope y'all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Here's one of my grandcuties who insisted on snatching my hat and trying it on lol. God, her parents are in so much trouble in a few years. She's gonna be a knockout just like her mama and her aunt and my wife

Hey truckers I'm fresh in. Pissed off the wrong people and we'll ya know. Seems better here is it ?

 

[RollOn382]

I'm gonna be upfront. I'm 13 young. Get aND learn from my Dad,Grandpa, some owner ops/small fleet owners. I have my way but I push peoples buttons with my personality it's not meant to (normally) but it does. Maybe it's a stigma because most 13 year Olds are still sucking on there thumb while I'm loading milk tankers, Dropping trailers. Done a little bit of driving. Gotta get my Profile pic on here soon. I'm a big Cat guy and like Detroit a lot too. I'm a fresh ban from TTR hope I have a better fate here. Well it's late and I got farms to load in the AM. Nite all.

Better is a subjective word. Personally I like these folks better, but this is a very different arena. Just thread lightly for a while and get to know folks. You'll be fine.

@Snowblind it's been a minute since we've talked. Besides you, my wife is the only person who knows what my plan was when I came here. Didn't expect it to go this fast, but I found what I was looking for, just gotta bide my time now. Found two vulnerable lanes and possibly a third. Trying the third one out tonight. Gotta go grab an interesting run at 12:30am that could be the biggest fish out of all three. Best part is I'll be home in time to watch the Browns/Steelers game with Mrs Junkie before I grab my next load for a different broker at 6am Monday morning. No rest for the wicked, I'm good with that.

Hey I need some help looking for a old friend. 07 Conestoga or something like that he had a White W9. He got banned a few months before I did and lost touch. One of my few friends there.

And unlike us, she wore it because she wanted to, where we do to keep the top of our head from getting sunburned

Post a thread. We aren't going to have any idea who that guy is.

Lmao I did and was told that come here. That's why I asked !!!

I'm doubting that. One of a few things are happening here. A) You are really 13 and acting your age. B) You're a troll. C) You're fishing for something. Don't care which it is. Please see yourself out the door. I'm not in the mood. Go find another thread.

Although I seem to be in agreement with you overall when it comes to at least option A, if not more, he really did post a thread about finding this other person. @Duck referred him over to this thread knowing we were recently/still are (in some cases) across the street.

@Trucker186 the screen name over there of the person you are trying to find was " '07 KW w/53' Conestoga"

No, I never heard of him. No, I didn't know him. No, I don't know any way you can make contact with him. However having the correct name may be beneficial in your search. Personally I am having a hard time figuring out how you don't remember the name of someone that you considered to be a friend over there especially since you said you had only a few, but no matter, either way at least you have the full name now. Maybe try Google, he might be active someplace else.

I appreciate diplomacy. I've just clearly become full-on grumpy old man. Don't care anymore. Not trying to help you hook up with a past friend. If it mattered they would have exchanged numbers a while ago.

He had a long name and yes duck sent me here. Just wanted to find him. We where talking for about 2 days then he got removed but in those 2 days we had sent about 20 long messenges back and forth.

What did I do to act my age. Just looking for my friend/semi mentor. He was giving me some advice on owner op. He wasn't sure If i was a troll because of what I said. He liked my plan and wanted to help me with further ideas.
