    I remember picking up a load a couple of times that had 13 or 14 stops on it. I always dropped it on the Richmond yard.

    I drink my coffee cold. I usually add ice to fill the bottom quarter of the cup before I put coffee in. Its more like a mocha milkshake by time I add creamer.

    The folks I delivered to were so clueless that they wouldn't even think to look for damage. Once its on the dock and signed for... the shopping cart kid made that scratch.

    Hope all the porch dwellers in RVA are enjoying the driver appreciation festivities. Hoping some lucky destitute driver wins the raffle they just announced. I’m home being appreciated by my wife. Waiting patiently for our Christmas present this year. **complete sarcasm**

    Outside of the planning and midnight start, it was a cool run. Was done the first day at 1pm 5 miles from the house. The second day I was done at 2pm with all 22 drops under my belt. I remember I made $30 more on drop pay then I did on mileage pay. It was the easiest $1100 I ever made.

    Are they finally having a party for those Patio Dwellers? About time, they so deserve it... :D

    So, what’s the Grand Prize?
    (I didn’t get the memo... lol)

    Been a while since I had a slow-as-molasses shipper/receiver, but today is my lucky day. Arrived at Bay Foods in Columbia, SC at 2:30pm for a 4:00pm appointment. Currently 6:30pm and still don't have a door.

    I have already cleverly reserved parking at the Petro with the bowling alley. Hopefully I will get there while the Quaker Steak and Lube place is still open.
