    Nope, not me. Slowly working my way towards east. West-to-east freights are still cheap.

    Currently in SLC suburb on my way to Laredo.

    Someone who has done the UPS freight give me the pros and cons of it. Carol has always adviced me to stay away from it in the past but my new l.c. wants me to go to a meeting in Oct. about it, mainly because I have doubles endorsement. Not sure if it's worth doing. I've heard it's mostly done at night and I don't do well after 2:00 am(need my beauty rest).

    Yep Katz, been awhile since I've been on here. The more I think about the UPS the more I'm thinking I don't want to fool with it. I was going to do it a couple of years ago but got into with catwoman and stayed away from it and out of her area! This time they told me I would run out of louisville.

    I left abt 1 pm Mercer time...the boss left before me we got vince to put the name on the truck so he pulled out at 12:30 to go load. After 5 days I was ready to go home...you missed the birthday cake sorry......

    UPS there were several of us supposed to be on UPS as I type this but.......UPS cancelled for all of us on Sunday...not sure what all that was about........I have heard both sides on the UPS deal from Thanksgiving till Dec 24. We haven't done it so I can't give first hand exp./comments.

    Wow is all I can say. This is a very cool system that mercer has. The fact that nobody sweats ya about running this or that. I am stuck on 81 in Harrisburg due to flooding.
