It is so fun to be employed again. Back in California the first time since our son's college graduation in May. Truck is running great and other than the crazy wind, we are missing all the crappy weather to the North. Dropping in LA and heading to Houston. REALLY looking forward to rush hour this morning.

 

Wow is it nasty out here. 4 wheelers and trucks sliding all over the place. Arkansas is a complete mess. You would think a truck driver would know better than to tailgate. So many crappy drivers it amazes me.

 

So, this is what it is like to work for a living. I kinda like it. Two whole weeks without anything breaking on the truck. Getting close to a personal record.

 

What a great week. After running a bunch of UPS loads we took a couple of days off at home the grabbed a load heading to Los Angeles for Christmas. I made sure it was a solo load so we had extra time in the schedule so we could stop in Albuquerque NM for the weekend as my youngest son was playing in the New Mexico Bowl. Not only did we get to see an amazing game and Washington State lose to the Colorado State Rams, I also got to spend a lot of time with my son. First time in my life I have rushed the field after a game (as a fan, I did it a few times as a player) You should have seen Annes face when I handed her my stuff and screamed "I am going over the rail!" She of course calmly walked over one section and took the stairs. lol.
We then headed out Sunday mid-day and delivered in San Diego Monday morning. We are at her brothers for Christmas and having a blast. I could get used to 80 degree holidays. Just booked a load to Seattle on Thursday heading up to Seattle to have Christmas with my family this weekend.
It is a pretty darn good life.

 

Well, Christmas is now half over. Awesome time with friends and family (Anne's) and now heading up to Seattle for Christmas with my family. We just may have to go to the Seahawk game on Sunday. This truckers life is so hard.

Rates out of LA this week are pretty awesome. $2.40 a mile dry van rate from Southern California to anywhere works for me but that is crazy talk to Seattle. I wish it was Christmas every week.

 

We pick our loads off of load boards also. Most are solo loads that I negotiate an early drop on. Not sure you would see an improvement there. You should contact f2f directly to talk specifics like % or rental rates. You should ask for Shelby.
