    Make sure you get that paperwork in b/4 midnight Saturday night. And make sure you do your end trip also, that way you get paid for that trip on this pay period that ends midnight Saturday night. Keep on trucking brother!

    I used to work on airplanes. APU's are notoriously bad on them. We eventually just removed them because of the of all the downtime.

    They told us the low oil sensor activated. Never got it fixed. We didn't get AC until we were in the air. But at least we got AC.

    Regardless, they delivered us safely. That's all that matters.

    All the best KD. I spoke to Rusty today. Taking my medical tests hopefully this week and said he hopes to have me fly out next week for a Weds orientation.

    I'm far from unhappy so far. Just wish I had a bit more spending money. Not their fault.

    Well, that's a full day I don't soon wish to recreate... Rolled in around 2-3am... I'm passed out until 9/10 when someone from the garage started thumping on my door wanting to work on my truck (no I didn't write it up, he saw something on it) still groggy from being awoken from a cold dead sleep I try to, as politely as possible, explain that I was only a bit over half way through my 10 so if they could take it later that would be awesome... Ok, it wasn't so chipper...

    Then a few hours and I shower later, was blessed from out of the blue with a new KW... And the move began... Ugh...

    They removed one load from me but gave me another one leaving at 8pm with a delivery time of 8am this morning.

    So drove through the night after that wonderful day and was empty at 8am... Whew.

    So parked a bobtailed 1768 at the local pilot and hoping I can catch up but, of course, who's not sleepy???? Ya, me... Ugh.

    Stay Safe,
    MD
