    The women drive me CRAZY!!!!! Always wanting an ETA, I stopped for my fuel this morning and had an ETA message. ( I quit listening to messages while I'm driving)

    Anyhow, I told HER I wasn't sure and I'd tell her later. ####, I'm 430 miles away yet and I really don't know yet. The 30 minute rest period is good for figurin ETA's.
    This load drops anytime today, 40 miles off the interstate, 60 miles from a truckstop.
    So, at the most, I'd have around 25 extra minutes on my 11, by the time I got to a parking spot tonight.
    Except, I found out it can drop anytime TOMMORROWW TOO!!!
    And my next Preplan picks up tommorow, south of my delivery and the truckstop I would have had to go to.
    So, I'll drop in the morning and head straight to my next shipper.
    Why can't they tell us the real delivery times?

    I think I saw JD's old International heading east through, hmmm, thru? Wisconsin today.
    Looked like it had some unnessacary chrome on it.

    I met her,she is about 25 years old,and not as princess appearing as you may think.They send me a short unpr. load today so i played"i am tired card"and then they send a great productive load so i accepted,but that was just to f.. with me.She never send the load info,i got a msg. that since i was tired she feels i am a danger to the public,and myself,so the truck is placed out of service.Great work today on both sides.

    Tucker's "Aunt Flo" app must be flashing bright red with the princess acting the way she is right now.

    I never called this one Princess, maybe I did, I dunno.
    I'm just glad to be rid of that last ####, I think her name was Drizzle.
    I could have met this one, but I didn't feel like walking to the main building, and she didn't come down to Lucky's, even with me buying. Hmmmm.

    Heck, I left home Saturday and I have 9 hours left on my 70. Great time for a B service after I deliver in the morning. But, I was a little mouthy to get good loads. I got right off the OHPAOHPAOHPA board. If I wanted to run that zone, I'd ride with @Freightwiper
    I tried to stay out of the bars, like all of you. I always figured I spend an easy grand a month enjoying myself. But I get too restless in the truck. Maybe I'll start writing my manifesto. ROTTFLOL, LOL.
    By my math, our "Princess" is late

    I've been in a pattern of deliver early morning, get a pp for afternoon or evening. Deadheads have been longer, which I'm grateful but with one thing or another miles are down. I don't think it's just me, seems to be a lot of unhappy campers out here. Hoping whatever it is, it works itself out soon.

    Crete is fixing parking lot in Indy and doing a major remodel at Deland, landscaping redo around corporate at Lincoln. Any other major capital improvement projects going on at their properties?

    I got a reefer load,and then the ops mngr sends me a msg...that i have to run a reefer freight sometimes,so i asked him for a load to Indy to return the truck,5 min later i got ppl t-call at Indy for that load,way out of route"so i can get a crete trlr",but if they wont their truck they can have it,i can live without all those short runs,and the spring ride trlrs.I think they are in a bad need for a reefer drivers,cause they already had me run a reefer load this week,but thats about as much i can do.I was suppose to keep the temp at -20,that thing never reach 20 below for 2 days.
