Also finally home. What a long 6 weeks of messed up freight and miles and truck breakdowns.

Chicago to Pharr TX, Pharr to Ft Worth, Ft Worth to San Antonio. Looking to get west this week myself for home time. All load offers going east to Houston....
Bought a new toy, dash cam.
Cruise control switch broke the other day, just flopping around in its slot. I was hating driving the long flat stretches without it working. What I do is ride like a jockey, left foot up on the fire extinguisher and right foot up on the trailer king pin lock about the same position back as the fire ex. Sort of like my feet are up on stirrups. I don't know, sounds weird but it keeps me pumped up and alert all day as opposed to having my right foot stretched out in the same position all day long pushing the accelerator.
Anyway I started fooling with the switch, popped it out and saw that it was a little plastic piece inside the toggle part that was broken. Called up KW 5 miles up the road, they had 3 switches in stock $111 bucks. Drove up there, plugged it in and test drove, yay works! -

oh and another thing. when i picked this load up at quaker oats in indianapolis this morning, both mudflaps on trailer were broken off. yard jockey ran over these curb things at back of spot when he was backing railer up. spent an hour putting them back on. on bracket is bent and mudflap corner drags on the ground. hope dot doesn't say anything. i stopped one the the yard jockeys and told him what happened to my trailer. he said he"ll mention it to the others.
