    1385415_10202247883862526_31229868_n.jpg This is a friend that I knew from work. His name was Joe Peters. I just received word that he was one of the 4 soldiers killed in a bombing in Afghanistan. He leaves behind a lovely wife and a 20 month old son. He was coming home next month. Please take a few minutes to remember him and all of our people that are in harm's way.

    [h=1]Four US soldiers killed in southern Afghanistan[/h]By Gil Aegerter, Staff Writer, NBC News
    Four U.S. soldiers were killed in an attack in southern Afghanistan on defense officials said Sunday.
    The International Security Assistance Force did not identify the nationalities but the four were Americans killed by a bomb in the early hours of Sunday, U.S. defense officials said.

    Not always.

    Got an overweight ticket once when I drove for Pam in Cali. They wrote it out to me.

    Thanks joey and passport. Joe's wife is an amazing young woman and has dealt with this tragic loss with such dignity and grace. I am in awe of her strength.

    when I started with transam 19 months ago
    I bought a can of yellow spray paint
    and every trailer I pick up I spray the meat hole with fresh paint
    to see it better at night in the dark dusty lots
    only a couple bucks lot less aggravation
    still on the same can :yes2557:

    Wish Werner would mark their trailers where the 41' mark is. There is no mark what so ever telling you how far you are. Sucks guessing it going to Cali.

    Well Im at the part of my day where I called my dispatcher and said I was so furious, that I was dangerously close to dropping the traiker at the customer where Im sitting and drive away. She then asked why and I explained that I had beem commumicating with weekend dispatch all weekend, and was left with the impreaaion to just get here ASAP. I used a chunk of my 10 getting tires replaced so I could move sooner and get to final ASAP and told dispatch my ETA was 10am. They said ok. I get here at 9:40 and am told to reschedule for tonight. My dispatcher is disgusted because no one over the weekend apparently even looked at the computer and cared to share the info receiving hours are 2200-0430. Its blatantly obvious on their computer. So my dispatcher is attempting to save the day and swap me out to keep moving. I understand if she cant, but shes a rockstar for trying. In the meantime, im just sitting here in TN. On the bright side, hubby told me I could go buy this gorgeous $200 zombie edition ProVari ((e-cigarette)) that Im obsessing over if I make more than $600 this week. I suuposedly overfueled by $273 the week before and I had 1/8th of a tank this Thursday night on a 3055 mile week. Methinks Im getting a ProVari! Hahahaha
