    Around the 21:00 minute mark of this video, on the right side of the rock cut, as a joke, someone had stuck a pair of white knee-high rubber boots into a crack in the wall. With the toes sticking out, it reminded my daughters that a white booted witch had hit the wall headfirst. Whenever we headed up to Madison we always looked for them. The girls loved it. The road from Dubuque to Madison was a real nail biter before they put in the 4 lane.

    Speaking of brokers, I was hurrying to get to my pickup one afternoon on a Friday. I called the broker and told them that I would get there 15 to 20 minutes past their load time. Broker put me on hold and came back a minute later and said he called and would load me. I got there and was told that the broker NEVER called. I finally got them to load me. I would have had to wait until Monday morning. Also delivered a brokered load to a food distribution center in Wisconsin that was a brokered load. Got to the gate before my appointment time and the guard at the gate asked me what I was doing there. Broker gave me the wrong date. Went back to truck stop close by and did a 34 hour reset while waiting to unload. Broker did pay detention pay.

    We really enjoy your videos. I really appreciate your driving style. You can't get much smoother than the way you do it. I've always maintained that nobody should be allowed to drive a big truck until they've physically put a clutch in one. We particularly enjoy your includeding us is in your family activities. Opie adds a homey touch. We're glad you have uber dad to do road calls. I was an owner operator leased to Fed-Ex Ground, and tried to buy the best parts $ could buy, especially driveline components. For some reason my wife Diannes name shows up . She's not the ex-trucker her husband is. Keep the shiney side up, stay safe.

    Didn’t realize that Sparky’s had burned down until I saw it on yours channel. I used to stop on there when I was driving a truck. Loved their biscuits and gravy. Their food is all fried but good. When I drove, retired now, I would get calls asking me where I was at. While I was trying to figure out exactly where I was at, they would come back and tell me where I was at from the tracking system on the truck. Always wondered why ask me when they can track me. They talk about a driver shortages. Well, there are enough drivers. When you have drivers waiting forever in docks to get loaded and unload, no wonder freight isn’t getting hauled. I volunteered for electronics logs when they first came out. They offered drivers a little more money to volunteer and it kept the dispatchers honest. When my clock ran out, I was done and they couldn’t say a word to me. Anyway, enjoy your channel. Worked for Schuster out of LeMars and ran the same roads and hit the same Docks. Have a good one.

      @truckingwithschmidt7120 True, trucking is very VERY different now, then back in the day, back then, most truckers didn't really want anyone knowing exactly what they were doing at any particular time. Go-Pro's hadn't been invited, neather had smartphones. There weren't any such things as in truck monitoring cameras. A lot of what you're going through, that's familiar. Getting loads late. Being barked at because your truck isn't capable of time travel. My favorite is a shipper in L.A. area, making sure you couldn't leave until you didn't have enough time for on time delivery. The company signed a contract that stipulated time or free. Well that was changed after me, complaining, a lot.
