    Today was so weird.

    So I find the great mechanics / shop. This basically outweighs any other evil for the week.

    Then I find a direct shipper like right there.

    So basically we're probably moving.

    The only draw back, two draw backs, were the first load I booked, I would have been 16 minutes past the drop dead time.

    So dude took it off me, after I'd gone 45 miles, which were 45 miles in the exact opposite direction I ended up going cause there was a load right there, it's heavy, the monster paper rolls, and the drawback to that place is the security guard is the dumbest person in the world.

    And you know when you're just worn out, dealing with someone, that you have no choice you have to deal with them, that has the IQ of a 5 year old ( A 5 year old curly haired tree sloth ) just wears on me.

    And these are only the monster rolls (6K each).

    Not THE GIANT MONSTER rolls from the JBHUNT days that weighed 11K each.

    I had an easy day..

    Drove the last 60 miles to pickup this morning, checked in at 7:15, found they were out of product, waited 4 hours 15 minutes, then they overloaded me 1280 lbs over gross.
    They guy asked, “Anything you can do with that?”
    Me “Yep, take it off.”

    Then the receiver that’s been calling begging for this load, wouldn’t wait on me until 1930, so I came by the house, 5 miles outta route.

    Now he wants it tomorrow, it’s 175 miles from here, told him I’d see him around the crack of noon.

    Then the mower went kaput.

    You need to get someone to cut, rake, and bale that for every 3rd bale.
    Putting it in the barn be on halves. You truck, sell hay (FOB barn door),
    park mower. All happy and prosperous.

    Someone cut the 2 acres behind the house, raked and got a couple roll bales.
    no one asked, they just did, their tractor rake and baler was back there a couple weeks ago
