    Just a reminder to Self to Read at page 71.

    Anyway I have a confession to make. Yes I did you notice I said I.

    I screwed up with this load. I didn't pay attention to the dead head and I can not get my load to its destination on time. Due to not having enough hours on my 70.

    Time sure flies when you are having fun. I didn't see this until I was loaded up and seen I only had 15 hours left on the 70 to make it to Denver by Tmrw morning. So I called dispatch first thing in the morning and Said I screwed up, and told him I could make it to Amarillo and to see if he can find a relay and that I needed to get my medical done b4 it expired.

    He called back a few hours later with a Relay. Guy was upset he had to do an ABE and wait until Tmrw night to pick up a load. Now he gets to take my load to Denver. I get to get my Medical card physical and I pick up his load going to Norcross, GA and I get to stop buy the house in OKC. Glad all things worked out for the best. This was very hard for me to do, but I wanted to show folks what taking personal responsibility can do for you. Anyway my 8 hr break is almost up and I got to get up the road. I'll be back in a few if the Good Lord will's I'm backkkkkkkkkkk quiet. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee hawwww

    Just so I understand, if we don't agree with Abe and don't have the same opinion as you we are super truckers?

    Guess that's what happens when you work for a living. Maybe when you graduate from super trucker to below average victim trucker, you can get a job at K&B. The two people I know that work there have pretty low expectations. Plus I hear they are on salary pay and they get paid whether they drive or not. They don't even need to use all their hours.

    Must have You Tube channel and a Face book account though.
