    Better. But still feeling run down after about 4-5 hours. Been pumping the Gatorade and vitamin C in and I only have to run 400 miles a day till Friday if that's all I feel up for then I'll be home for 3 days. So I should be just fine. Thanks for asking.

    Effingham SC gettin freight on the wagon. Got my 5 stops off then eased in down here. As far as the mat deal, I get carpet remnant from Lowes mainly. Cut it to fit around everything, then add some more on top of that. When the top ones get dirty, chunk em and grab some more. Get about 60 square feet for $10 bucks. Then the boots come off at the door! Got a pair of tennis shoes that only get worn to drive in. We gonna ease this one on over to Cullman and drop it tomorrow. Then we gotta see what the dollar signs look like. Keep it cool, check y'all later!

    Been sitting in Chillicothe waiting on Kenworth to get their crap together to unload. Usually 20 min in and out at each stop has been 6 hours today at one stop at the main plant. Every other stop, 20 in and out

    Im right back at the service area in Allentown, Pa after unloading this afternoon at Americold. What a cluster cluck that place is.
    I reload tomorrow in Edison NJ headed to Minneapolis. Figured I may as well stay here and save my hrs for tomorrow... easier to park here and run into NJ, load and get out of NJ.... then to try to find parking tonight in NJ. Im only 1 1/2 hrs away...

    Some unhappy drivers at Americold today... just a crappy place to have to deliver or pick up. They charge you $100 if your late, but have hardly any place to park to get checked in. 'Only' took 3 hrs to unload me so ill get some detention... but a co u ple other drivers sId they were there 6 hrs.
    Ive been lucky that most places we deliver/pick up get you in our out relatively quick.
