    No clue if it's actually picking up or because everywhere I go is middle of nowhere. Tired of sitting watching my clock run out while other Melton guys I talk to keep moving. Good thing I've been taking good care of recap.

    I've been sitting here since 2000 last night. They got me unloaded this morning at 0830 and told me to drop my trailer for a reload. That was 5 hours ago and they haven't even come over to get my trailer yet.

    It's just the early mid-summer drop in freight, don't worry. Soon, Venus and Jupiter will align and the manufacturing sector will finish their ritual and by late mid-summer, it should be back up to pre-late-winter levels again and you'll have trouble keeping up!

    I got a preplan this morning. Delivers Monday morning, a whole 450 miles away! Not sure if I can do 450 miles in 3 days. It's gonna be tough.
