    Enjoy.

    Wife and I are heading to Fla on Feb15th or 16th. Got a free place to stay at her brothers 15 minutes from Port Canaveral. Getting on a cruise ship for a week on the 18th. Feb is a great time to take a cruise vacation. One less week on the roads while the snow is flying.

    That's awesome. We're just doing an evening thing, but getting out for a week does sound like the better plan. We're planning a week in Disney World towards the end of the year, maybe I can talk her and the kids into a Disney Cruise. Ha, think not though.

    A Disney cruise for the family is almost a years salary

    I was about to say that. We go Royal Caribbean. A couple times a year they have kids sail free sales. You can go then for 2-3 grand for a week.

    Rolled up 517 miles of money belt today. Got slowed down a bit on 19 in WV with the bit of snow coming in. Doubt I make delivery on time in the morning.

    Thought I was told a 10 AM, but when I got in it was 0900 on the sheet. Ran as best I could, but think I'll miss appointment by 10 to 15 minutes. Will let dispatch know in the AM.

    Should have left home earlier, it's on me.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Getting unloaded now and already have my next run in the Qualcomm. Picking a loaded up in Karns City and dragging in to Clinton SC. Another nice 600ish jaunt back over the Hillbilly.

    Lost a mud flap on my trailer. It's the front one on the passenger side. As luck would have it, it's in the parking lot where I checked in. Tossed it on my passenger side floor and will update the VIR when I get to Karns. 55 miles and a front fender mud flap. Shouldn't have to worry about PDOT too much.

    If you're a system driver, you won't deal with your home terminal much after training. I live just over 100 miles from the Wilmington terminal.
