    Rons pretty cool... I like him and generally go in to bs with him when he was weekends only...

    Tonight I am sitting in sioux city delivering tomorrow at bomgaars...I had a great load coming out of the house that paid good but the appointments sucked....the brokered load im dragging isnt bad either....im guessing tyson pickup tomorrow...probably going to e eryones favorite city in illinois....hopefully home this weekend again...dales been pretty good about getting me home for the weekend even with hours to do something....and jays good at chasing me out of the house..but makes it worth my while...so im happy...

    Hoping to get back into waynesboro so I can get back into 813, it threw a check engine light into my plans for the weekend, and I wound up taking 747 out as a loaner.... What a junkpile, found the door broken on the fridge, had to throw the previous driver's garbage out plus it stinks so bad of cigarette smoke its hard to breathe, bad enough I'm allergic to that crap!plus I miss having the inverter, microwave, and something to keep stuff cold. If they give me a load toward the house, that'll be great , I got a brand new Spyder waiting for me to jump on and seek out the twisty back roads!!!

    Hey Brian, Craig retired last year, and Leah took his spot, guess it all works out. So how's JB going?

    Well, if you don't care for volvos, you're in luck. The new batch went to the long-term guys. You're looking at a kw 660. I don't know if there are any 386s left. I've been gone for...wow, almost 5 months.

    Ron was also a driver for quite a while I guess. He knows most of the shippers and receivers first hand. He's been very helpful to me a few times already for parking and procedures at shippers/receivers.
