    How can you tell if there is anything missing??? :biggrin_2554: If it is a guy, he's probably been missing it for quite some time, cause I doubt he could find it.

    Eaton, they've been running you ragged this week. You won't know what to do with having all day to get to your unload.

    Rocks, that sounds like a nice place to spend the night. Peaceful, quiet, no lights. Hope you get to enjoy it without a lot of other trucks invading your space.

    Pack, I wonder about you. If this is what has become of TS's, you're going to have to find a better quality fuel stop
    :yes2557:

    My driver that does the special account for me hasn't had any loads since last Thursday, and so far they only have 3 for this Thursday. We've been keeping him busy helping us out. Today he got the yucky job of taking one of our turn in trucks to the OC in Edwardsville. Tomorrow I'm having him move lease trailers back to the lease company. He was excited about that because now he can have the buffet lunch at the casino. I like to do my best to keep the driver happy :biggrin_25526:

    Transam when you leaving? Getting fuel there if you're still parked when I roll in I guess we could meet.

    Greenvile, SC camping out at stop #1. Then its onward to Cartersville, dropping this at our yard for the local guys to handle.

    Trainee screwed up today,or more to say had a bad one. Got going again and he couldn't find a gear on the on ramp, then gearing down for the NC scales he couldn't find one to downshift into. Getting on the scales he braked to hard and rocked the plates back a forth. Of course, got pulled around back for a level 2... Putting a chain on our steel, the snap binder came back and got him right between the legs, told him to wrap some ice in a paper towel and hold it there to prevent swelling. Got so hard he threw up on my pretty tarp. But thats why some truck stops have water hoses, right?

    One thing that did happen great to him was I gave him a break so he could have a nap. It rubbed off, backing between the drop's company trucks I couldn't get it to go straight back, simplest back-up and I had to pull forward to get the trailer going straight.

    I see a bunch of them...

    NOT a reflection of you in any way of course, but.....

    most of them don't appear to have very much experience (I'm trying to be nice)..

    I'm getting loaded now but there is a paperwork glitch I won't be rolling until later this morning...
