    Fortunately for them I had only cracked open my first beer by the time they rang.

    Denver is exactly the kind of place that needs a beacon to fight tyranny and oppression. You guys think you have bad governors? Check out Colorado's.

    Also, that TA is so bad that even Crete won't let us fuel there any more, no matter how cheap they sell fuel.

    Ok,
    Broker asked me yesterday about a load from KC Mo to Tupelo MS.
    Said 58/ton, to cheap, 134 more miles then the load I had just dropped for 57/ton.
    So that was last night, so he asked if I’d do it for 65/ton, I said ok, no bone meal.
    I figured soybean meal, last 10 loads out of KC has been.
    He texted he got the load, HAVE to be washed out.

    I look at commodity on rate con, it’s left blank, I didn’t even fire the engine up, Call him up, ask what it is... Meat and Bone.
    I told him I wasn’t interested, he got mad cause he’d taken the load, I told him no meat and bone, I’m tired of smelling like death, I may have to get a grim reaper outfit with scythe and all for going into the truck stop to take a shower.

    So, then offer some cheap load, another no from me, now I made a phone call, got an easy load of corn, unloading tomorrow morning, and I’ve drove to within 15 miles of receiver, could go own over, but I think I’ve been through enough emotional distress today. :confused:

    Pretty impressive.
    It's like the old saying, would you rather be lucky or good?
