    So this is a really bad week for me my home time technically ended Wednesday but didn't get a load till Thursday it was a crappy run that go like 400 miles to deliver at a customer Friday afternoon then drop the tank another 300 miles on Saturday of course the customer was literally in the middle of nowhere Kimper, Ky and that was 700 miles for last week which means pay check is gonna be ####, then get to Chattanooga drop trailer get a new assignment that says to bobtail Sunday at 10am to Bessemer, AL 159 miles away to pick up a trailer at 6am Monday to delivery 155 miles away by 10am in Jackson, AL well I bobtailed yesterday got the trailer yesterday about 1:30 and have been sitting here at a Pilot in Tuscaloosa, AL for 26 hours so far because I can't deliver early since customer is closed and they said they will try and relay it so I can move today and nothing all day plus Wednesday when I went to sleep my laptop was working fine and when I stopped Thursday I pulled out my laptop and the screen won't come on so it doesn't work thankfully I bought the laptop not even a year ago and got a protection plan on it so when I get back home in 3 weeks I am taking it in to get fixed but #### I'm getting screwed this week

    To top it all off for this week when I stopped yesterday I went inside to make my dinner came back out after the truck being off for only 20 minutes and it wouldn't start because the starter is bad and they had to pull start me so truck hasn't been off in 25 hours so far and don't plan on cutting it off cause won't start again
