Davy, with Helwig I’ve been to Wyoming twice in 2 years. Both times to Cheyenne. In and out. Easy peasy.

Maybe you should consider jumping to Helwig. Am I recruiting? Maybe a little. Lol

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

Well at least you are keeping your mind active. And your creativity hasn't suffered. Which is impressive since being stuck in a featureless, unchanging landscape tends to hinder one's imagination. Stay strong!

Davy likes to run, not sit at docks being loaded and unloaded. Reefer life and running are like trying to mix oil and water.

Reefer:

A refrigerated trailer.

Ryan, are you Davy’s spokesman now? I think Davy is very capable of operating on his own with comments.

However, reefer and running are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Last year I drove almost exactly 140,000 miles in 47 weeks. Just under 3000 miles per week average. And almost none of those miles were driven in windy conditions or even severe winter conditions. I guess mainly because of the lanes we run.

Chill. That was stated tongue-in-cheek.

I don't know if Davy likes to run or not, I suspect he does, but I do know this would read a whole lot funnier if he had written it!

This is undoubtedly true. Probably a poorly timed joke on my part. As for Davy liking to run, that was my assessment based on like 2 years' worth of comments from him. Apologies for disrupting the copacetic air of the board.

Not poorly timed at all... it was a good joke! Nothing like a little friendly banter between reefers-flatbedders-van drivers-tankers!
