    Wow. Arizona's a find-fault state; it's almost unheard of for no citation to be given either way. Mark your calendar!

    I dont recall any worst weeks, but I do recall deliveries made beyond my ability as far as stamina and miles run without sleep. One in particular was icecream to NE of baltimore on US 40, a rather small cold storage spot. That one came out of the midwest on top of a very bad round trip in winter. That particular delivery is in my memory from the dock as the forklift got it off, but nothing else with the exception of heading up that way a few days prior after a carolina run round trip. The logbooks were in the realm of so much lawbreaking it's easier to tell the Man you aint got one for him. (Ticket 30 dollars ... write a new one right now)

    Those were the days.

    I hope so, the trucks were parked almost across from each other, the guy could not control his truck in the snow. Hit my two and another as he tried to get into a spot. The other driver he hit went off on the guy, telling and screaming, my drivers just recorded it and called the cops.

    I was just given 4 days to go 960 miles. In route my truck developed an air leak. Had to do a 34 at a truck stop, while parked had a blizzard go through that buried the truck and had brakes freeze up on me and blow two tires and spent 9 hours on the side of the interstate with my triangles behind me waiting for roadside service to show up. While waiting I got physically ill and had to crap in a bag in my truck on the side of the road. I'm suspecting possible CO2 poisoning. I don't really know. Headache, nausea and dizziness after idling for about 5 hours on the side of the road. Then I got the ####s.

    No you're not the only one having a ####ty week.
