    That sounds very entertaining. More so than when an outhouse fell off a truck and the guy in front of me sent it spinning off the road.

    My sacrificial offering to the Customs and Border Protection deity must have worked. I crossed the Peace bridge from NY into Canada at 9am and was back across the Ambassador bridge in Detroit before 3pm. Got 2 drops along the way too.

    I have some of the cheap store brand stuff, can't afford the real thing like you high rollers.

    Melatonin is more of a supplement to help sleep pattern it isn't good for a knockout.

    I should be back in Richmond tomorrow, it's been weeks since I have laid eyes upon those hallowed halls. Going to keep out of sight and hopefully sneak in a 34 reset. Been running on recap since May 24th and it feels like my miles have taken a nose dive. Won't know for sure until payday though.

    If yours is anything like the Iowa back haul loads I have had, thats good as they are really light and the shippers are really good people. A refreshing change from the usual miserable people we deal with at warehouses.

    We got swapped for the third time this week. Not for anything on our end, we just have to clean up other people's poo poo. Headed back to California from OKC for the sixth trip across New Mexico in the last 10 days.

    Charlie the trainee is doing fine, backing is a work in progress.

    Can relate.

    Got a load that's due in Richmond on Monday, but I'll be there in three hours. I, too, could use a 34, and it'll be nice to take it at home.

    Just stopped at the Pilot in Vega Tx and had coffee with @chralb. It's always great talking with him, God only knows I need a good laugh.
