    Sure did now we are loading in Ghent. Going to have to stay the night here. Delivery in Savannah, GA Monday. FM said we could go home but that will really mess with our OOR.Since we still have the 2007 our OOR is the only thing good we have going. Forget fuel bonus. As hard as we try those darn W. VA mountains get us every time. Especially when you cross them several times in a week. Got lucky and only have to cross them 2 times this week but...

    I know what you mean. I have been going across them every week myself. I just try to have a good mpg going when I enter and then build it back up before I fuel...but mine gets better mpg than the 2007.

    We really are in HELL (Ghent) Got loaded with 19 small coils. A securing nightmare. Finally went to scale. Oops, "your product is 1600 over weight". Now we are back at lot 84. He had to pull tarps back so they can check to see what they did wrong. We have been waiting for them to check for about 45 mins. now. So much for getting any sleep. Started the day at 1:00 am and still going.

    Has anyone seen TSA at the scales during roadcheck? I heard a report they were in the scales on I-80 in Ohio.

    I might have...I-64 E outside of St. Louis. There were at least 6 plain gray minivans in there. Scale was open and several drivers were getting the white glove treatment. I got the green light....

    I wonder who had the bright idea of holding Bonnaroo & the CMA's at the same time. I bet the Bail Bonding business will be booming this week.
