    That's how you do it to dead reload markets. Thank goodness for the end of the month push today and I'm sure the looming Labor Day weekend helped as well. Probably next week it will be back to business as usual which sucks.

    Hurricane watch for Tampa north, rains as the storm Herimine progresses up the coast maintaining a strong TS and or a weak hurricane status.

    That is going to disrupt freight for labor day down that way, For a couple of days at most.

    It's been dead here all week due to the storm. All my customers are basically shut down. Can't run cranes and drills in lightning and can't get the trucks into the job sites even if they could.

    Maybe at 2 am. But in daytime that easily adds an hour.

    Be sure to factor in the fuel youll burn in traffic just to avoid the turnpike. Even if the cost is the same, consider yr time and aggravation. Orlando sucks. I do it almost everyday.
     
    Terry270 and spyder7723 Thank this.

    It was back in early spring so you would have thought I'd have heard something by now. It may have went through the office and I didn't see it though.

    Yea if your company I assume they just paid it.

    Did a bunch of handyman work up in Tampa last 2 months . Sucked onto the toll roads by my google maps and ran through a few sunpass lanes in the pouring rain going over the Skyway bridge.

    No biggie . They sent me a bill at the end of the month.
