    I used to love going into the Arbys there on Jeff Davis Hwy. The nicest people there! And the food was pretty darn good. Miss the Waffle House too, not to mention my friends at Abilene.

    I got word Saturday morning while finishing my break in Tifton Ga to head over to our W. Memphis yard and drop my loaded trailer and grab one going to Melbourne Fl. I got there, the load got there during the night so I went to sleep. I left out Sunday morning early with 855 miles to go. I've picked up and delivered to this customer before, it's an easy drop at a moving and storage company that stores trade show equipment there. It was due Tuesday but knew I coukd delivery early. I ran hard and made the drop yesterday morning at 10am.

    Afrer getting empty I went up the street to a Walmart and waited on dispatch. I'm scheduled for hometime on Wednesday but told dispatch to keep me running with a swap until then. Finally about 2 hours later it came through, deadhead to Blythewood SC for a drop and hook, take that to our drop yard in Wilson NC then grab a loaded one there going to Fort Myers Fl for 7pm Wednesday night. This works out perfectly, I'm going to be off until next Wednesday, I have a couple of medical tests I need to determine how to get this kidney stone out. That's a whole nother story, I've been dealing with this since last November and it needs to be addressed. Abilene of course, even through the turmoil last week with Tim leaving has been nothing but great about it. My 10 is about over here in Hardeeville SC, time to get ready to leave.
