    If the GA to FL load is not a regular client id call and be honest. Im sorry but my load going up there fell apart. I will not be in position for your load. Please forgive me.

    Theyll probably add you to a list of honest operators to continue using.

    Not really a regular, but one of the better brokers. They have called me a handful of times. I called them for this load, as I was trying to put a 1day turnaround together..

    Still attempting to salvage the run, but as usual the loads leaving FL look like dog doo. Probably be making the "pull me off the load" call here in about 25 minutes if something good don't magically appear.. :confused:

    Yesterday while i was building the stairs my one kid is dropping an entire gallon of milk into the rug, while my other is starting a brush fire next to the house.

    This morning im putting the stairs up and a pvc water pipe i just installed, splits. So after i get back from town and get the water fixed i can rip the rug out and figure what to do for flooring.


    Those of you gone for weeks with family at home, THANK YOUR WIVES for putting up with the friggin kids!

    Not too bad for a chainsaw and a chisel. Uncoincidentally, the stringers are juuuust right for the trackwidth on my furniture dolley. So theyre stairs and ramps from a tree outta my backyard.

    You coming down for anything fun, or returning from a previous encounter to meet your new parole officer.? LoL

    I just cut my losses. He had nothing coming out of FL, but was happy he has plenty of time to get another truck. It's a good load, 6700lbs, paying $3.12 mile. He'll get it moved..

    Looking at a short haul now for tomorrow..

    What a hell hole the apartment complex was this morning... unloading was easy but I got blocked in by every contractor and straight truck imaginable. Had to back up around the whole facility blindsiding the whole way o_O:confused:


    Deliveries are done for the week. I’m off to NC to grab an easy backhaul at 0700 tomorrow morning. And then break neck speed to the house :cool:
