    Dropped my wagon that was loaded with Buckeye freight in the yard and grabbed a 5 stopper for the Philth-a-delphia area...Parked at my 1st drop now.

    I couldn't image living in a dump like this..

    I think I was colluded against yesterday.
    Day started with texts at about 6:45 saying get one plt at SDV for Cargolux and a hazmat crate for Manchester Terminal. 10am cut on the Cargolux. It was the usual struggle to get freight out of SDV. But did. Got Cargolux dropped and headed for the Port. Got there at 10:30.
    Didn't get out until noon. Mechanic texted "yeah come get it I don't like it" ?????
    Went to the shop. He says the steering still isn't right and that they really don't want me to drive it until the upper ball joints are replaced.

    The collusion thing was several of them told me to go near the old office and pick up a check and bring it back. No delivery ticket but Roland said we pay the driver to do it. Yeah sure.

    Went to Suhm Spring Works for a pallet 1042# for SDV.
    SDV was a freaking madhouse. Took almost an hour to get unloaded.

    Loaded up 7 crates hazardous for American Airlines. Looked at the paperwork and I didn't see anything wrong. Alas, one crate had Class 6 as a secondary risk and Class 6 don't fly on American Airlines. There were other problems but I didn't get loaded and out of American until 5:30. Felt certain I wouldn't be able to drop the stuff at SDV but I was wrong and did drop it.
    Would have gotten home 7PM but the dregs of a crash were being cleaned up and it was a slow crawl through the construction south of Shepherd.

    Lastly I am still in the Ford for 4-6 more days. I'm taking it to Texas World Speedway tomorrow morning.
