    That's awesome! I'm jealous now. Keep it up.

    I'm hunkered down for the inspection blitz, as I do every year.

    Sitting outside at home in the swamp, getting my kicks watching bugs fry in the bug zapper! HAHAHA

    My 2nd week numbers are as follows: 2792 miles and $6,000.00 in revenue. I will put up the final numbers, when I get the settlement. I have been picking my own loads since the start and I don't think I am doing too bad. $2.15 pm isn't GREAT for reefer but, not bad either. I am going to work this next week on getting my number up to and average of $2.39 pm. That's gross revenue of course and like I said, I will put up the actual Adjusted Gross numbers, when I get that settlement.

    Well, I got my settlement and there was only 2 of 3 loads on it,,software glitch or something. Anyway, in the end my revenue was $6,000 and miles were 2809

    This week I got a multistop load, 8 to be exact. I don't mind the stops but the times or appointments are what get me. If you held up at one, the rest are messed up. Doesn't help when the broker says; " I broker this run every week and have no problems with the appointments from drivers ". I will tell you right now, as I did him, if I would of ran hard enough to make the first 3 appointments on time, I would have run illegal. He just didn't seem to get that, until he saw that I was serious.

    I will deliver my final on the 25th in WI After that I will be working on getting me to where my wife is in MI by the 3rd. I have found a couple runs right now that will take me to the 29th but, I have to wait to see what I can get to kill 3 days.

    All is going well, making good money and more importantly, no break downs.
