    Glad to see someone is getting miles. Sure as #### isn't me.

    Ran 10 miles off the yard this morning for a 3hr live unload. Then into the bowels of Winston for a 2.5hr live load that I just brought a whopping 230 miles up to Richmond for.....you guessed it.....another live unload in the morning. Sitting at Chester twiddling my thumbs now for 16hrs until the appt in the morning. Been there before and they get in no hurry either.

    Another week but the song remains the same.

    Yeah I'm on recap. Hoping I get something better tomorrow I'm good on hours till Saturday then they get real short.

    Woonsocket is easy. Empties in the lot across the street. If you ever get Pawtucket get up with me. The directions aren't exactly correct lol I sent in corrections but no way to know if they made the change since I haven't been back to that one.

    geez I hope not....put the faces of my 4 mutts together and that makes me one really ugly sob lol........

    got a better run today but doesn't do much good to get 585 if you've got 36 hours to get it there on a firm 1900 appt......which in turn sticks me in an area with little to no parking at 21-2200 tomorrow after yet another live unload......that should be fun......that keeps my average for the week on recap at 250/day

    kind of a wasted day today. drive 11 miles off chester and do the 0900 unload then the next load picks up 1330-2359 only 20 miles away. in order to keep from sitting on it too long have to wait till 2000 to get another 10 in so I can pick it up and run with it and not run out of time in the no-stop zone.......and of course leaves me looking for parking middle of the night tonight to meet the distance requirements from the cons.....and another 10 before I get there

    I guess august is turning out to be my slack month. they ran me to death in july lol

    so far, so good! I WAS told "July is our slowest month" crap and I've been running like a monkey at a bannana farm, since early July! lol I give ya a ring tomorrow, Flying! It's PIZZA TIME, for me, COWABUNGA! I did meet Kevin Eastman(Ninja turtles creator back in 88 and HE WAS A TOTAL DOOSH!!!!!!!!!! This was BEFORE they "blew up"), but am a HUGE comic book fan...even carry them with me on the road...reading ALWAYS HELPS, even though nowadays, they're digital :( Flying, keep talking about those long loads/unloads....you know our luck...you'll have weeks of D AND H's IN THERE THEN! ;)

    got my preplan yesterday, 5am appointment on the 19th. called dm and asked if appt was changed since my appt to unload yesterday wasnt until 8am, he said no problem just get there when you can. 2/1 hrs to auburn maine, get there at noon, told load wouldnt be ready until midnite. 2nd time been here at p&g tambrands and second time it has happened. good thing i didnt make my 5am appt. sitting here at truckstop in greencastle pa, and just watched a ptl truck back into a truck. blew my horn at him, but he just kept going.
