    Ok, got a dead head move to Ellenwood Ga to drop off this reefer and pick up an empty dry van then head to Braselton for a drop and hook going to Memphis for 8am. If Chris doesn't hurry up, I will be teaching him how to sign off on a log violation. Right now he sounds just like the rest of us with all the excuses.

    I read this story and I said to myself "See Self, this is what you have to look forward to!" Lol o_O
    Although it might not be in Atlanta where it happens to me. It might be at Hunt's Point, NY, or Chicago, or New Orleans - ohh, the humanity! :eek:

    I exaggerate though ;)

    Did the trailer swap at the Cherokee casino in Ok. Returned to WM, only to be attacked by hornets when I set an a frame road block back up. One little twerp stung my right thumb through a worn-out hole in my glove. Hurt like hell. Ended up having to move the trailer to another spot, as the varmints were still pissed at me moving their home. Dropped the trailer. Then got word to just bring that same trailer to Richmond. So,

    Sitting at the Petro just west of Nashville for my 10. Thumb is still numb, but laundry got done. Will drop in Richmond tomorrow mid afternoon just in time to take another 10, but early enough to get a load for Tuesday morning early. At least I should be able to get something on Monday afternoon for an early Tuesday morning departure.

    I broke 2700 miles last week. Closest I've been to 3k since my first week solo. Praying that my chat with Victor did some good. So far it has. Starting the week with 1099 miles. Would love to run a 3k+ this week.

    Truck is leaking oil again. About the place where the overtighened bolt was. I won't say a word about it in Richmond, but I'll ask to get sent back to West Memphis. I really like this KW, I hope this leak isn't a major repair. Overheard Bill telling another driver that there were no extra trucks at this time.

    Should prove to be interesting.
