    Wow! So George is in a safer and newer truck, but wow! He's in a Mack. Needless to say, he isn't in a very good mood right now because of space constraints. You and Sallie are so right, RebelChick, he says it has very limited space. Had to buy a inverter too, as it didn't have one. I was really hoping to go on the road with him next time (safety director told him wait 1 month) but that's unlikely unless they actually give him a different truck before then. He even told them on Saturday, when they offered him the Mack, that he wanted me to ride with him.

    Made it back to the yard yesterday at 7am. Jeremy my student is 100% driver.
    Caught up with Deuce and put in my Cobra CB in his new-to-him Mack. Im just glad he is in a much safer and dependable unit. Spent some time with Sally and then headed out. Picked up my family and headed to DC for the Nationals game. Freezing and a complaining/whining 8yr old got us leaving in the 4th. Drove to downtown Balt for our aquarium visit today. You all be safe out there!

    Headed out solo Sunday morning for a 2-stopper LL load. Albany,NY and Northampton,NH. Traffic Sunday going North was atrocious so I stayed at Carneys Pt. LL in Albany was a pain. Good thing was I could have overnighted at either del location. I just had my fill of returning north minivans with beach chairs and coolers tumbling off their roof racks!!! Sitting at the TA just onside NH playing with my new CB which is very nice and watching Anchorman2. George I hope the ol' Cobra29 serves you well!

    Thanks BB, the radio is working fine. If you are going to be at the yard tomorrow, I can hit the ATM and get you your dough.

    Sitting at the Flying J in North East MD. Weighed my truck when I got here. Dry van, 1/2 tank of fuel and I am solo. Load from Goya supposed to be 43000. Ah nope. Im at 80080. Going to see if I can get past the MD scales. Brett says they wont F with me for that. We shall see. May just take 40 down to White Marsh. At Goya had 2 drivers get irate at me. I had an appt and didn't see them parked the opposite direction 500' away on the street. One lil guy threatened me with "boxing". I stepped out of the truck and apologized for me not knowing boxing but the guard had to restrain his little arse when U said " but, i know bodyslams pretty good!" Im pretty devious when it comes to riling people up. SoI blew him a kiss and gave him a wink when the guard had his back to me. I was in rare form!! Im a super nice guy but when aggitated the mean BB rears his head.

    A kiss and a wink really goes a long way.

    A kiss and a wink really goes a long way. Little people like that have what is called "Little #### syndrome"

    Well got to Goya in PG at 0615 and they promptly unloaded me. DHD to yard and Jeremy was coming in at 1000 to rejoin the Team. Our load assignment came through early. HP load to Deer Park on Long Island. Delivering to a warehouse. Sweet! Were in Jersey now... Jeremy is taking his 30min waste of time. We will park at the site tonight and catch some zzzz's. Showed Jeremy the Exuadorian Cowboy truck today. He just kept shaking his head. Deuce they put new tires on the drives! Did you do one too many burnouts??
