    Tires are ok. The trailer is an '09, but for whatever reason those hookups rusted out, the bearings in the couplers.

    I did snap some pics and they're pretty good but the camera is out on the truck so I'll post them tonight hopefully on my 10.

    I'm huntin a pressure sprayer this morning for my certified washout.

    Trailer's nice and white and matches the truck. Think I'll dub the whole setup "The Great White Hope".

    So this is trucking? lol.. been sitting at pilot idling since 11:30am. Found the washer and got that done and the tractor as well. Broker swears once we hit the midwest I'll be begging for a break. Apparently nothing out of charlotte in his first orders except low pay stuff they won't book (to keep shippers from calling them on it he says). Gets his orders at 11am and 3pm. It's about 10 of 3pm now and I'm hoping I get a call here soon.

    I did get a note on my mirror from mall security this morning, so I guess that was good while it lasted. Said to "revoke" my truck immediately to avoid tow. I don't know what revoke means in trucking but I was pretty sure it meant MOVE.

    I was hoping to post that pic right now but I see I don't have the FTP program on my laptop to upload files to my website... working on that as we speak.

    Steering wheel does hold laptop nicely...

    You are not alone on waiting on a load. I am still at home. Dispatch told me they have a load in Chicago,Il that loads tomorrow at 2pm. They are trying to get me a load up to Chicago tonight or early morning so I can pick -up the 2 pm load. They had a load to Mascot,Tenn. but, my dad took it. Good for him. The Chicago load is for one of our customer and pays well enough to go get it but,we are going to wait it out to see if we can haul something on the way to get it. Hopefully we both will get going soon.

    There's some girls on the CB selling pork chop sandwiches and baked beans... all you can eat. Lots of takers but I don't see a grill anywhere though.

    Maybe that is not really what they are selling. Where is the grill? Sounds interesting.
