    Maybe something in the air. I didn't sleep well last night either. Felt lousy all day. Could have contended with Atlanta this afternoon, but as I have just 204 miles to go by 1400 tomorrow, I decided to do something productive instead.

    Now......to find something productive to do.....

    I appear to have caught the London KY variant of that disease. :biggrin_2556:

    Sleep here wasn't the best last night, either. Woke up about 2300 sweating, couldn't get cooled back down. Then had a little guy touch my nose with his cold, wet, pink nose, followed by the whisker tickle. By then it was time to get up, and I've been exhausted ever since. I'd like to know how it feels not to be tired.

    Sounds like more than a few of you are entertaining yourselves at WMDC. IP seems to have left his Misery motel room for a new brand of misery.

    Rush Rush Rush Rush.... Drop & hook this morning, then p/up in SC, drop & hook in Douglas, Ga, then.... my dsp squeezed another load before the one I'll p/up in Atlanta on Friday so I have something to do... So... now at a small Shell station... easy out... gotta leave before 4 am going back to SC for another drop & hook and then going to Nashville, TN... Then, gotta get a Walmart trailer, not sure where and going to Atlanta... this is, if Walmart doesn't ask me to do a "quick" store deliver before Atlanta.... Then, from Atlanta, going to South Dakota... I hate when these shippers don't have directions recorded in their voice mail... and don't give directions to carrier... and the address they give us, is not the street where the truck gate is... Thanks to GOOGLE satellite view and pictures of the street, I was able to find the truck gate... I hate to get lost, or drive around looking for the right way... that's a waste of time that I can't afford and is also nerve wrecking on my poor nerves... I would not be able to do this job without Google maps.... well... at least it would be a real hassle... Gotta go... didn't have any meal today yet...

    Agree totally that there are times when mapping can save us!

    Rolled in 18:55. Dinner. TV. And here I be.

    Did 8 delivery tickets today. Would have done 10 but two hazmat loads weren't ready in time.
    Have much to do (All Hazmat and all going to Air France) in the morning. First cutoff 9:30.
    Betcha a beer I don't get everything first time and have to go back for more.

    But I'm going to try!

    Won't be awake too much longer.....
