    Quick update....Went by the house Monday for a reset, came back out only to sit for another 20 hrs or so to deliver in Chicago for 10 pm the following day. Got to Chicago Beverage an hour early. Sat and watched a hellacious thunder/lightning storm. Finally decided to lay down to get some zzzz's. Dude wakes me up at 0230 to back into a dock. Nothing like being prudent on appt's.

    Anyway, went to Plano from there to pick up and deliver in Celina, OH on Thursday. D/H to Trenton to pick up a load going to Auburn, NY. Was very strange, did a drop n hook at a distributor. First for me. Anywho did that about 4 hours ago.

    Currently sitting in Weedsport doing my 10. I have to pick up tomorrow in Baldwinsville to deliver in Atlanta on the Tuesday. I should be in ATL Monday some time.

    When I went through Trenton yesterday I went by the shop to get a tail light replaced. I look over and see our first T-700 sitting there wrecked. WOW I thought. It's messed up pretty good. Only has 4400 miles on it according to the mechanic.

    Please don't ask though, I'm not going to speculate how or what happened. That is not my place to start rumors and since I wasn't there that's all it would be. All I can say is it was fugggggggged up.

    Have a safe and fun 4th everybody.

    If your the terminal off Exit 296, you should be hearing the thunder. I live about a mile from Millis. This is the third afternoon with thunder but no rain as of yet. Maybe some rain today, my yard and plants could use the water without me going out and wetting it all down.

    WOW! What a gully washer and blow hard! That was quite the storm. A tree on each side of my house went down. Luckly neither landed on a dwelling. Ya'll be safe out there in weather like that, please.

    I've been running pretty good the past couple of days. Delivered in ATL then back to Cartersville to pick up a load going to Fennimore, WI. Dropped there and picked up a load there to drop in Richfield. Did a reset in Richfield while getting a B-service done on my truck. I really don't like dealing with those morons on dayshift there. Don't know why they're so anal. But got the service done none the less.

    Yesterday headed from there to West Allis to pick up a load going to Ft. Worth. Delivered there a little bit ago. Gotta do my 10 break before I hit ready for dispatch. I just hope they get me out of here.

    Ok kids, be safe out there and run hard!
