    Since you just came out of home time, they say that is a very productive load you can turn and burn right back, if they still have loads coming right back that is.

    Passed Ye' old physical without a hitch. Do they only make new hire drivers do the physical ability test (pick up and carry a crate of weights from end of the hallway and back). Or when they did that to me the last physical it was the clinic's version of a Snype hunt? They didn't make me do it this time.

    Just read that UPS (Useless Piece of Shine-Ola) just bought Coyote Logistics (pending government approval). Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us...Any thoughts?

    Well I made it to Uxbridge MA. Parked at the receiver for a 9am appointment. The route I took was 1855 miles, pretty good 3 day run. No backhaul yet, we will see how tomorrow goes.

    Well I called backhaul this morning and the guy must have been someone new. He couldn't figure out who I was because he's reading the backhaul info and I was telling him where I just got unloaded lol. Anyways after he figured it out he said I have a backhaul but can't be dispatched on it till they get some confirmation or whatever.

    So catching up on some movies/sleep in Sturbridge hoping I get out of here tomorrow.

    I ran into a Poly driver over at the T/A in Kingman, Az. Said he was heading North to Hurricane, Ut. guess he was heading up SR93 through Vegas onto 15, I seem to recall there being a big Walmart D.C. in that area which I assumed is where he was heading. Over all he seemed to be happy with everything, after several years of looking into Poly I may just decide one day to make the switch.

    Got my backhaul picking up some poly equipment in Natick ma. Not the easiest place to maneuver around but not the worst.

    Since I got my miles bumped up last week to take this load I now am well over due for a service lol. So i took my time getting back to poly gp, which I'll be there tomorrow sometime and turn in my 3800+ mile week and take a 34 while they get the service done. I put myself on the board for Tuesday so I should still be able to get some miles for the following week.... I hope. Toooo easyyy
