    I saw that and did think about it as I was driving by but glad I didn't try now. I will hit it in the morning after delivery.

    I had a really good day. Not a big miler but very productive which I am pleased about.

    551 miles which included 2 drop and hooks that took bit of time as publix loading docks are miniscule and a broken seal at another required many phone calls and pictures to sort out.

    I also had to engage Jersey driving mode to tackle Atlanta traffic but I still shut down with over an hour of driving left on my clock.

    A big factor in the productivity was getting my next load within minutes of sending my arrived macro. No waiting around at all.

    More of the same please and I should hit my target next payday.
     
    Lonesome and JohnBoy Thank this.

    You were at the yard today? I missed you. Well, to be fair, I was asleep until about 1:30, then inside waiting for Chris to see things my way and not have me overnight it again. I still have a headache from the caffeine that I drank to keep me awake last night.

    I did get to meet @Flattie C briefly, though. Nice to see another female around.

    3 years here and only a cent higher than that. I haven't seen a raise since late 2014.

    It always amazes me how such a little word can mean so much.
