    Keep meaning to ask but forgetting. When we fuel in Indiana and it asks if we are tax exempt the answer is yes isn't it.

    Hope so because thats what I put.

    It's not the dock or the ramps, it's all the other man made distractions surrounding the docks they want the trailers in. At 3 am, the last thing I need practice on is my backing.

    5728 miles not bad but still heading in the wrong direction. I did have a couple loads that had waaay too much time on them.

    This week has been much busier so hopefully momentum carries over to next cutoff.

    I am down to 2 hours of my 70 with only 6 hours back at midnight so not expecting much for the next couple days though.

    Im in Chesapeake waiting to unload and hoping I don't get anything that requires me to run west on 64. It was a mess on the way in this morning.

    The dirt hill almost ruined me...and the truck. Started getting engine fault and clutch high temp warnings trying to mount that hill while cranked at a silly angle.

    There was also some creaking I have never heard before. I would have sworn they were coming from the tractor frame twisting.

    Speaking of that place, I'm headed there today. I think it's fun. I like a challenge. And I think the battery Parkway is easy. Just back in off the street til you get to a dock. Bill took me there on my driving test. I'm just happy I'm finally rolling again. Been stuck on this broker load since Wednesday morning. 14 hours at the shipper didn't help either. But I'll be home for the weekend tomorrow.
    @MidWest_MacDaddy I think that's wrong with my truck. Because all my drive tires are "chopped up" on the edges. I always check the air pressure so I know it's not that. A quick bay would indeed by nice.

    Its settled then. RC gets my Florida loads and you get my Dantzler loads.

    I love it when a plan comes together. ;)
