    I double checked with my local bmv and finally talked to someone that knows what they're talking about. I won't have to retake the road test, but I will have to retake the written test. Thanks for the help though.

    busy??? hmmm? well, if you call this busy...
    I was home for two days then ran a got placed into mainstream there... then truck was getting worked on and got my load out after that... it was a curtain which is fine, but then I haul it over here to PA then haul another load back to Minneapolis. I unload that and get a load out of Minneapolis, well a relay load, to Eau Clair. Meet the guy he takes the load I stay there for the night. Hours are close. I then get preplan to grab a flatbed. I think cool my first flatbed load. As I get ready to leave I do my PTI and the one trailer light is out. There is no way that the light worked when I traded trailers, but I should've checked instead of going to sleep. So, now I run that over and get it fixed. Then on my way and I went to St Paul park got an MT flat and loaded it with shingles. Tarped and secured then took it back to St. Paul Park and got the same curtain I'd been hauling. Head back to shipper... closed!:biggrin_25510: Missed it by 30 min. Took an hour to get from St Paul Park to the stinking shipper! ughhhh!!!!!! Now I'm no genius, but if I would have taken the curtain over first... loaded it... then returned with the flatbed... loaded it... I could've gone back grabbed the curtain or hauled the flat (like I thought I was on the "Flatbed Fleet"), but regardless I would have been loaded and had 4 hours of running that evening.
    I ended up sitting overnite till 4 in the morning. They start shipping then (well, they let you in then) Got loaded around 0515 and out about 0600. Took my time on this one... Head over to the CAT scale and I'm running 80300... Call FM and they instruct me to take off my tarps (now if I'd run the flatbed and they'd have a curtain driver take the curtain this could've been avoided) So I end up back at STPaul Park AGAIN...:biggrin_25513:
    Finally get it legal, so I hoped, and headed for Milwaukee. Got to the Consignee late because it took forever to fuel and had to do it twice since I was so close on the weight. I get there and the place is locked up. I cry to myself a bit and complain to the wife. I called the FM on duty and started getting no where so I kindly told him I was finished speaking to him and would not be discussing any of this further. I felt it was going to get a little ugly. I waited till morning and delivered the load. Guy unloading me says, "I saw you were here when I left." Said I should have come in the front office he would have unloaded me... good to know today... lol:biggrin_25523:
    So now I'm heading to the next SHipper. I also have to pick up tarps in Oak Creek. Shipper was smooth, then on to Oak Creek, nothing. No equipment that I need. It is time to fuel... I have to hit the pilot in Oak Creek, but stupidity takes control and I pull into LOVES... IDIOT!!!!! :biggrin_2559:
    Get around to Pilot fuel, scan, and feed myself then onto the next delivery. Get to Cleveland and all is GOOD, no GREAT with the world as I am told to call in. They say have a nice trip to the house, what day do I want to head back out? I say Tuesday morning?
    So, here I am with 3 days of hometime in front of me! I love it!!!!!!

    I guess I've been busy... Still need to get to Marshfield to get that inverter looked over. Hope things are good for you!
    I'm still standing!
    Hindsy out!

    Sounds like you are definitely roling with the punches, though. Good show!

    Dude, you have a curse or something... I hope things smooth out for you soon. I am home also, but with an empty curtain, I am planning on going out on Tuesday morning too... If they can find my something. I feel for you, I have had weeks like you describe, take an extra Prozac, get a good nights sleep, and it will all look better in the morning.
