    Beautiful sunny day here in the PNW. Getting ready to head out to do some fishing!

    Truck is still parked. I did inquire with my insurance writer and they said they would cover me if I added a driver. However, I'm just not that motivated to do it at this point. Anyone that I would hire to run my truck & trailer is most likely occupied with someone else making good money in this current market.

    At least they should be...

    My other business venture with my son is off the hook right now. I'm making more money than I would be running my own truck, even with these inflated rates. Hanging out with him and sleeping in my own bed every night is still worth it on its own anyway.

    Cheers!

    That's one of the most profound statements I've ever heard. I think I'll have it made into a bumper sticker.

    No way in hell am I sending it with that guy.

    What was the total weight on the shipment?

    Not very much. Under 5 for sure.
