    After I delivered at Halls yesterday afternoon, I dragged the empty right back to Richmond. Whet on a very nice dinner date last night and when I got up this morning I had a hurry up order to grab a 3 stop hill Phoenix load and get it to Minnesota by 8 a.m. tomorrow.

    Knowing that wasn't possible, they sent me via the 64 to 35 in case it had to be swapped. I got word a couple hours ago that if I can make the first drop tomorrow during business hours I can do the other two on Thursday. I said consider it done. This load is mine! :D

    She enjoyed it. We too are starting to toss the team idea around but thats still aways out, if ever.

    I was glad she got a realistic look at what we do in just a couple days that included some of the more difficult things and not just a couple days of easy sight seeing, though there were plenty of sights for her to see.

    I knew the mack was small, but hadnt noticed how passenger unfriendly it is (no air ride seat, arm rest, or head rest for them)

    All in all she got a good idea of what this is so she can decide if its something she wants to do or not.
