    Yea I go to the casinos every once in awhile but figured $300 upfront for the Xbox will save me more in the long run. Besides I didn't have a DVD player in the truck...

    I would have but I took the scenic route from Severn Nc. I ran the miles and going up and coming across 64 was the shortest, but those big arse hills killed my fuel mileage lol...Made for a long day. Sitting In Moorhead Ky. now deciding whether to hit St. Louis or Booneville and take their money tomorrow night. Don't know if I'll make KC.

    Go to the Ameristar in St.Louis,park under the bridge.Alot nicer and bigger,that casino in Booneville is small and crowded on most nights especialy fri and sat.Plus you never see anybody winning there.Just my opinion tho.

    Well, I made it through the heat/rain/traffic of Atlanta... just to sit (and I mean SIT) for 3 hours on I40 between Memphis and Little Rock. I mean it was just stand still - people got out of cars/trucks and I ended up playing a few games of Forza on the xbox, paid some bills online and made a couple jelly sandwiches - that's how bad it was.
    I knew about the bridge construction and I figured I'll lose about 45mins or so but 5 cars decided to get into a wreck and cause a worst 30 mile backup... and then another wreck right passed Little Rock and more construction (everywhere).


    Staying the night at the receivers dock for 730am appt. Already received my next offer this morning for tomorrow/weekend. Had a couple load choices and picked Memphis to York, NE for Monday am delivery. Looks like I'll probably be doing a 34hr at the casino :) I'll end up with just over 2600 miles for the week - not too bad for 5-6 days.

    Got unloaded in Hot Springs, AR this morning. Drove to the Petro in Little Rock, had a nail in one of the drives... So had that patched up.

    Going to Memphis to pickup a load and already got a preplan for Monday :) :) :)
    Nebraska to Addison, IL.
