    Anheuser Busch in Fort Collins, 45 minutes to check in and now a longer wait for bobtail weigh. Then I still have to weigh the load. I don't care how bad freight is, I won't come back here.

    I have never minded that place. Maybe because I have always got lucky and got there at the right time and never waited. I think that my longest was 30 minutes, maybe 45, in and out.

    That Kroger in Indy should be a drop. Even if it says live unload, it's most likely they will have you drop. I never find empties at Kroger though.

    That might be a good idea anyway, just to see where the leak is actually coming from.
    Some engine degreaser, or a trip to Beacon to get it steam cleaned.

    I'm just west of Knoxville, TN at the Petro.

    Nice day today. No wind.

    After reading from squeak I'm a bit concerned about my next home time.
    It is in CA near Sacramento on the 16th, and I deliver on the 10th in SC.
    That's nearly 3k miles in 6 days, which isn't a problem with the right loads. But...

    I'll be turning down anything not getting me at least a bit closer.

    Possible. but I go with what the plan says and even ECT in Memphis said appointment needs to be made. Even if it was a drop and no mt, long way to bt home. Getting tired of having to go home long ways on my dime

    Yes Frank, its a blue Columbia, and yes back then I used to RYO, but I got lazy and just buy regular packs now. Where did we meet? Because I am almost never on I 40, just maybe once or twice in a yr, and I can't even remember the last time I was that far south. I keep thinking, NM maybe?

    Yes my black cat and I, go for walks, I always try and get him out for a walk everywhere we go. When people say, "gee I never seen a cat on a leash before, I tell them, he's the one that's walking me, I am actually on the leash not him."

    Wow, you must really have a great memory Frank, I compliment you on that, I really do.

    I think that most of us are fat old farts really, I can't remember the last time I seen my feet, lol

    And yes, I want to get both or all three of us to last at least 5 more yrs, the trk, the cat, and myself.

    It's a real challenge,

    don

    Actually, years ago, I got a ld from around that same area going west, they "Swift" has lots of hidden fr8, I just got a VA to UT ld, because of my hm tm req. I think sometimes we get lucky and just trust the system.

    Maybe?

    Amen to that brother! I once went there, the moron $8/hr sec guards made me take trl to trk wash, for no reason, just to be jack a's.

    I wouldn't go there for any reason either.

    Sadly, but the only other option is a Sam's ld, still heavy, but with fewer and almost no hassles whatsoever.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you leasing? If that's the case they are going to charge you anyway, for however long that trk sits until its leased again.
