    Wow, today was a complete Charlie Foxtrot. I didn't get a load until 1300. Supposed to load at 0200 for it but at 1305 that load got pulled...back to,waiting. Then a good California load at 1430 to load at 2300 tonight. That one came apart in an hour and now my sunny disposition was beginning to cloud up a bit. Then comes a Texas load...oh, hold on that one's already covered, I'm beginning to think whiskey is the answer. Finally, a different Texas load but it doesnt load until 0200...Sunday morning. Well, there's going to be bumps in the road, and the brutal storm moving through the midwest did limit some freight availability, so I shall rest and run hard Sunday. Sheesh, what a day.

    More later...

    I would recommend Four Roses Small Batch.

    Two Ice cubes in a rocks glass, pour to cover cubes.
    Sit back and sip. I recommend a nice leather recliner for the sit back part.

    They also didn’t like when their rates and different things were plastered all over social media.

    It is snowing like hell in Omaha. Glad I have a warm bed and a good book.

    Do you get any type of TONU or compensation if they cancel loads on you?

    Speaking of that, do you know there are lease guys still taking 800 to 900 mile southbound lumber loads for them that only pay them $1.00 to $1.20 a mile? It's disgusting.

    The company line was always, "but we have to service our customers..."

    Right.

    Yeah but that puts you in a great spot to get a great paying beer load. The point is, you don’t go blasting them online.
