    Most of "my drivers" didn't have loads last week. There were a couple that took loads up to PA, then back to UT. They didn't seem to have any problems with weather. Now, there are more than a few drivers I would like to send out OTR for a while and maybe they wouldn't be so picky about what they will or won't do. Then again, they aren't my pets and I don't do the load planning/dispatch.

    You're correct, Pete. I forgot we had 1 that stopped up around Grand Island. I was thinking about drivers out east :biggrin_25526: I'm cool with admitting when I'm wrong.

    Albertville, MN for the night waiting to get into the shop for a quarterly check up. Looks like it's going to be a long wait.

    Just pulled my truck out the shop. The check up found a bad water pump so now it's a new one. Time for bed. Going to get up at 0700 to find a load going by the house. Night all.

    they definitely keep me moving.by not turning down loads I usually get some nice runs for awhile when I do a load someone else turned down.i just keep my mouth shut and do what they want.it has worked for me for years.
