    Well I guess I am not going to make my delivery on time tomorrow. No way I'll make 788 miles before 4PM tomorrow afternoon, since I am still broke down. I was wrong on why, fuel pump out.

    So after 30 so hours in the Cold, I got a room.

    Wow, good thing you got a room, it's #### cold up here in PA, I know it would be miserable for 30 hours in the cold.

    Yaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo I am rolling again.

    I spent more than I should, but after 1500.00 it was a 0.83 fix. Wire broke going to the ECM. I did tell the road service that I felt it was a loose wire cause it happen after going over rough roads.

    Well I have delivered the Lifter I had on my wagon, and turned down some cheap freight so I am deadheading home for Christmas. was offered a load of Pipe 4500LBS at the rate of 0.83 PPM then after I said no they countered with 0.99. and again I said no.

    I like to wish each and every one a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....

    Well I am waiting for dispatch and wishing I could fly off back to the Philippines. I received a text message from my Girl Friend that her mother passed away. But my funds are way to low.

    Some of you may knew I spent time over in the PI prior to coming back out Trucking. I was there with another girl but we broke up several months ago, and now found another girl who is younger and her mom was the same age as me. Sounds bad but it all in the up and up. Jenny is to graduate from College in March as a Nurse, which I had planned on going then to attend her graduation. But since the news, I wanted to go now.
