    Well almost done with this load. Kinda wished I had few more days on this one. I like this load :D They look cool sitting back there. Was a long week last week. Three straight pickup today, drop tomorrows. Not too bad... Except for the CP load... Stopped for the night with a few minutes left on my clock, no appointment time for either drop yet. Got hours back at 0844, still 279 miles away. Sales set the appointment time for the first drop at noon, second at 1330-1400. Told FM I couldnt make either appointment, but would get there ASAP. He said "OK". Asked if I would get a service failure and he said "No not on you, youre doing all you can". Dropped the first drop then had to back out onto a narrow 2 lane road with cars on the shoulder, then headed for the 90. Dropped it, sent my depart call, and got a call from my FM. Said I did a good job getting there so quick, as he didnt expect me to be there for awhile longer. This time we stopped early enough I should be able to make it to the 90 without an issue.

    That's the milk crate that's tied down to the floor that she's supposed to sit on. Because we all know the passenger seat disappeared so you can fit the fridge in and bungie the microwave to it!

    Well... Made my drop today at the New Holland dealer. Already miss those bailers. Had a bad time picking up this load of MDF. Waited out a thunderstorm, which I can understand. What I dont understand however is how a 47913 pound load can put me over 80000 pounds... Ive had more and it was legal. Personally I think theyre lieing about how much the load weighs. Will reweigh it tomorrow at a CAT scale.
