    We will be. We are the only carrier they use. The occasional outside carrier is brokered through our brokerage dept, usually a load to bum skid Idaho.

    I'm sitting at Brintles T/S in Mt Airy Nc. I got empty with my Des Moines drop at 6:30 then was empty in Omaha at 9:30 yesterday morning. I was deadheaded back to Iowa City and loaded a whirlpool appliance load going to New Bern Nc for noon tomorrow. I'm now needing to watch my hours. I start picking up good hours after midnight Thursday night. I have 16.5 hours left for tomorrow and Thursday. When I get empty tomorrow I will have 3730 miles since leaving the house last Thursday.

    My wife is doing better. Although she permanently lost about 30% of her vision in the one eye, we are grateful it was caught in time to stop it from affecting all her vision in that eye. It still hasn't stopped her from being the most loving, caring and giving woman I have the pleasure to be married to. If God needed an Angel here on this piece of rock, he would pick her.

    Hugs to Lesli for me Johnboy. Glad too, she is coming to terms with her 30 percent vision lost. I knew she is a fighter. You've told me on several occasions what a great lover she is. Some guys have all the luck.As Howard Stern says, peace and love. Hugs for the doggies too.

    George

    After I texted you last night JB the Sherriff and DEA searched the truck beside me and found 6 kilos of cocaine hidden in the reefer fairing. They seized the truck! Pretty frickin cool!
