    Hey playa I just got finish talking to a OO here at our terminal he was delivering products for us to extend our dock but anyway he had one of those conestoga trailers now I see why you want one of those. Said he paid 18k for it. Man that will save you time and labor.

    Conestoga type trailers are nice, until the first time something bumps one of the rolling uprights out of line. Then they are never the same.

    They are really cool trailers. But only services certain kinds of freight. Tarping has gotten a lot easier and quicker for me now that I've got a process. Just have to stay at it.

    Parked for the night in MD. Rolling at 0245 four hours to the house until Monday morning. Unload in VA then where to? You guessed it two stops in MD. $1050 on 315 miles. Lots of physical labor this week, long days and hustle hustle hustle. Wouldn't change it for the world. I'm booked until Wednesday afternoon right now. Total of $1900 on 700 miles after malones cut.

    Keep it up Playa you are about your word about being closer to home and still providing. More folks should follow by your example.
