    I can see that. I'm just a young pup at 53 and looking to get started again. I actually do like to break it up though. Maybe 20/80 ... 30/70ish. Running at night all the time does get to wearing you down some.

    My morning has started out in the Twilight Zone. My load was due today at 5:30 am but I received a macro telling me to leave here at 3:45 am to switch trailers in Tennessee yesterday at 5 am. I arrived 45 min early to my 5:30 appt (ignored the macro) only to learn my appt is for 6. Please park by the light pole Honey.

    Good stuff!

    Ooohhh nooooooo... Expect a phone call.

    They didn't show you the "travel back in time" button on the dash of the truck??? Maybe that's only an option on the Volvos. :rolleyes:

    On the Richmond yard today. Spent 12 hours at that PBC in Maryland. Just put a write up in at the shop to get my truck serviced. Maybe it'll be quick to get in and out.
