    There are 2 P&Gs in that area. Mehoopany and Tunkhannock. They are one traffic light apart. One is down the hill, the other is up the hill. I like going to both places.

    I like going to both of them. We have a facility down the hill before Mehoopany and when I have to spend the night there it is very quiet and dark. Which I love.
     
    88 Alpha Thanks this.

    Negotiated a bonus for doing these short haul ford runs. It wasn't a good idea when I agreed to more than one.
    I asked for minimum. 300 loaded miles, all deadhead miles to include fsc as if loaded,
    $100 per day inconvenience fee.
    A preloaded water load I can grab on Saturday in Michigan that drops down at Walmart.
    For a would be dead week, (due to holiday) it looks like I'll be well above water at about 24-2500 miles when it's all over.
    When they have nobody else in the area to cover, that can be a bargaining chip.
     
    popcorn169 and RERM Thank this.

    I managed to make it to the Michigan water plant and drop/hook. That means both loads will count on this settlement.
    Mission accomplished. Finally.
    Now to swing by the yard for straps for my beer load backhaul for Monday.
    Haven't been to Holland in awhile.

    After water loads, beer isn't much different. I guess I just get used to them.

    After I get to holland, I'll have about 3 hrs left on my 70, and no recap til Wednesday.
    I think I'll go home for my reset .
    After this week I need to absorb why I'm doing this.
    Refocus.
    Once I fail into ownership , I plan to go regional and be home weekly, but still make a good living.
