Oh no trust me it wasn't you! Unless you all of a sudden got pasty white and gained 800lbs?

Ya know, the more things change the more they stay the same. I got taken off the New Boston load. The shipper was rigid about the pickup time and I couldn't make it...mostly my fault (newbieitis and such) and those wonderful directions we get over the QualCom. But mostly me nevertheless. Sooooooooo, since the last time I posted here I've done a couple more loads in......."Can I see a show of hands?" No, not Laredo, but, yes, TEXAS. Oh well, lemons-to-lemonade. I did a couple of shorties that paid well, got paid for a driver "tailgate" assist (didn't touch a thing), and now, believe it or not, I'm out of Texas and in Louisiana. But just barely (rest area/welcome center just over the line). Headed for McCalla AL in the a.m. with a load of ceramic tile. It's not due to deliver until Saturday morning but I'm gonna show up with it early tomorrow afternoon.

I was in Texas for over 2 weeks and I've started to grow kinda fond of the state and her folks. Even the shippers/receivers seem to be nicer than some I've run across (only "across" because I missed!) Even so, I'm looking forward to what comes after McCalla. Don't matter, just load it and point me in the right direction!

I spoke with your DM a little while ago....You're now going to be the permanent Dallas to Laredo guy!


You don't have to thank me...It's the least I could do!

Go that way.

Revenge for the 2 a.m. wake up call?

That's pretty much been the story of my life lately!

Mr. Obgoatie: if you're going across 10, check out Frog City truck stop at exit 87 in Luzianne. They have excellent etouffe. Make sure you order an extra side of rice with it.

And when I didn't think my day could get any worse, someone who I won't name *cough* Redd*cough* sends me a picture text.... Trust me, you all don't want to know what was on it!...

Oh so he decided to make you throw up too?

Would you look at the time....I gotta go to bed now so's I can get up all bright and shiney to go truckin' tomorrow morning!

Man"O"Man, I was lookin' forward to comin' on over and gettin' under that truck with you too so's I could lend a hand and give you the benefit of my vast mechanical knowledge!

Maybe you should just check in to the nursing home now.

Oh he's in BF, SD with some hairy overweight truck driver hitting on him in the drivers lounge! Serves him right for that text he sent!
