    I dropped at Michelin in temprance. No mts there. I went to the pilot at xt 210 while they found one. When they said Chrysler in Warren I was stunned. I asked them to double check for closer. Or snag one out of Campbell's in Napoleon. They said the one trl in warren was all they could find. I think they decided it was a good reason for me to get it. It had been there awhile. Full of snow. Took me awhile to sweep it out. Hope the place im going dont mind a little ice. I cant complain to much. I got the miles. Better than sitting I guess.

    Delivering in Browns Summit, NC 1st thing in the morning and preplanned out of Albemarle, NC going to Laredo. Lets see how far I get with it before I start receiving phone calls from some conniving DM claiming to need the load to get a driver home.

    Ok dropped in Reading at midnight. Ran over to Cabelas on I78 to take my 10. Headed to Topton, PA at 3pm to pick up then headed to Temple, TX for a Thursday delivery. 1550miles. Then try to find a run home. Got some taxes to do. A utility trailer I may buy just because I want one. Going to look at 4wheelers. Was wanting a jeep but im thinking 4wheeler and keep my pick up.

    You should go with the Jeep if you can afford it. I got a '09 Unlimited at Carmax last year for $18,000. I thought the price on it was kinda steep until I did some research and discovered that it was actually a steal at that price.

    My FM acted like he was aggravated when I said I have to get home to do taxes and a Saturday or Sunday ain't gonna cut it. Been out since Christmas and have a Dentist appointment Thursday. He asked why I didn't get with them forts to schedule it around their schedule. Lol guess they think we eat sleep and breathe USA.

    I'm not in any hurry to do my taxes. I got about $200 back last year and then received a letter stating that I didn't claim all of my income and that I must return the money. I've got no idea where they got their info but I sent the money back.

    Ill probably get back $600-$1000. I claim 1 and deduct everything.

    As for the jeep im lookin for a 2012 rubicon (2 door avg $28000-$30000 and 4 door $30000-$34000) I want the 4door for the extra room in the back. But ill take a 2 door for a good price. Jeeps hold their value because they are popular. I want the 2012 because it has almost 100 more hp and torque. I am also lookin at the Rubicon. Already has the locking diffs and swaybar release. Less to do aftermarket.
