    I thought about it as I focused again on the junk in the trunk and figured she might just whip my behind if I made a scene.

    Exact same thing here. Capacity is really tight to the point that you can practically name your price. I've been running my butt off taking advantage of this market while it lasts.

    Taking a little break in the midst of a long run. Load is hot and there's a pay bump on this one if I can pull it off. 850 miles straight through...have a little assist on the inside to keep it looking legit. Probably do a 34 tomorrow at the Oak Grove 70 if any of y'all are in the neighborhood.

    Time to go refill the mug and thermos and roll on.

    More later...

    My week ended on a positive note. Started early, 3 closed scales, showed up early for a 0600 delivery, was out by 0520.

    Showed up for my L.A. reload at 0900 which I thought was scheduled for 1100 and turns out the scheduler made the wrong date! She made it for yesterday and they still got me in and out early.

    Stopped for fuel at my normal mom & pop and today I hit my payback reward, they handed me $80 in cash!

    Yep, it was a great day and week. Time to kick back at home for a couple days!

    Whew, I'm gassed. Made the load and as a reward I was handed an equipment load. Problem is, I'm set up for lumber...no chains or binders onboard. So off I go to Kansas City, Kansas to pick 6 binders and chains. Are any of y'all race fans? You know where they are racing tonight? Yep...Kansas Motor Speedway. Wait, it gets better. Guess what exit I needed to take to get to the Trailer Supply? Yep, the KMS exit...rivht as race traffic was building in. KHP thought I'd lost my mind but there was no other way in, everything had gone directional to handle traffic flow. Made it in to get the chains and had to fight my way back out through both KCs, in rush hour, to get to Kidder, MO to snatch my load, which of course now I can't get until tomorrow morning. Glad they'll be there for it, I'm ready to bail out of here and head off to North Baltimore, Ohio to shed this load off and get the next. Running on recap now trying to make back in one week what I lost in five. Going to bed now.
