    Don't worry your company will make sure your physical gets done before it expires.They keep on top of things like that.My company does anyway.

    Finally getting a load out to mid west after doing a few weeks of nothing but east coast..... Unfortunately picking up again at "never ready on time foods" in Edinburg, going to baraboo... I swear this shipper has to be the biggest bunch of idiots I have ever dealt , what ever time they give you, it's guaranteed to not to be ready by then. Josh & Cory aren't going to like what I have to tell them regarding this load, since I'm considering refusing anymore loads out of this place if these dimwits at this plant can't figure out how to release loads on time... Ok that's my complaint for a while.... Other than that, sounding this 72 hour roadcheck deal isn't as big as it used to be, didnt see any dot from i86 in ny all the way to Hagerstown yesterday...

    Well at least baraboo isan easy run...and you can get a good backhaul about an hour away going back to va....

    Have been running short haul this week so far...its good money but tons of work...and my sleep schedual is all jacked up with the weird appoint times and long unloads...and the hot loads are crazy tight....I actually managed a 5 hour early unload in chicago...and then beat feet to wash out at lake station...since tulsa was going to take longer to get to in rush hour traffic....I think I made jay a little nervous cause he was wondering why I was out here rather than the reciever...told him I was empty and the trailer looked like the set of "The Shining" and no one would load a trailer like that....

    Been running hard to get home and play hard. Been hitting the Walleye's hard this spring, caught oodles of them, but not lots of keepers.

    Heading to Henderson, NC, with a final on Friday in Abingdon, VA. Fairly decent paying load.

    Well we can forget about new KW's at least for 2013, or until Cummins get's it act together. Looks like more new Volvo's, hopefully not more auto's? The funny thing is that their fuel milage is no better than standard? Hope everyone is well.

    Happy Trails

    Been busier than hell lately, and trying to coordinate the post break-in service for the new bike, I got an extended warranty that came with a maintenance package, so no out of pocket expenses on regular service. The hard part is scheduling since my dealership has only a couple of guys who are trained & qualified on servicing can am spyders, and last couple times I was able to get home it was on the wrong date, That's enough griping from me for now, lol, time to put this thing in gear and head out.
