    Grabbed a spot at the TA in Rawlins, WY. the forecast isn't showing anything nasty tonight/ in the morning, so let's hope it stays that way.

    Well the housing market in north indiana is really hot. Agent sent me two houses 48 hours one was pending.

    Best anecdotal story from a different agent. A man has been trying to buy in Lafayette the other hero of battle of New Orleans. Ok I'm streching the name a bit. He bid on a house, which had 15 bids in 24 hours. Asking was 170k, he bid 187.3 he got outbid.

    I asked the agent what was happening. People from Illinois are moving in.

    I'll fathom a guess and say that you know how to keep the left door shut... Lol. That's some pretty good distance to cover in 5 days, and yes the Ag. Exempt will kick your ###. Im glad I only get to use it once a week. If i had several short Ag. exempt loads back to back, I think I would be beating my head against the asphalt by the end of number 2.

    Saw this flatbed dude, might have been a step.

    He had multiple rolls of wire, not MONSTER rolls, maybe 20 or so.

    This guy had to have spent 3+ hours securing, re-securing, and retarping that load. He had a truckload of chains and straps in play.

    Is that very common? To have to mess with it like that?

    Could you legally do 900 miles using Ag exemption?
