    Well, today was a long day. Truck broke down again today, same issues but I was able to limp it to wytheville. Lost 10 pounds by switching trucks. Just took a cold shower here at the pilot. I'm so looking forward to bed. I'll be rolling that koolaid back to Indy tomorrow.

    We just got a strange load assignment. BBT Colton to OKC. A truck broke down and we are recovering a load bound for Reno. We just came from there.

    Guess who is on a load to Cali after leaving Groveport this morning. :mad:

    I think we are figuring out who calls the shots here at Abilene. :rolleyes:

    I wonder if he can get me in one of those new Volvos?.

    I was heading west on 81 on Friday and feeling kinda put out that none of the Abilene tractors heading east would return my flash and wave then I realized they were new trucks from the Dublin factory being delivered to Colonial. o_O

    JB would never pull me off gravy Ohio runs and send me to California. He just doesn't possess that mean of a streak.
