    Man I'm stewwing... Lost a 2000-mile run that would have let me spend a day with my sister on her birthday because bean shipper rejected my trailer.

    2 tiny pebble-sized pieces of translucent plastic in the very front corner of the trailer... Couldn't just remove them & re-sweep trailer, couldn't get a washout -- trailer now permanately 86'd from that shipper.

    Mad at myself for not sweeping that corner more thoroughly. Mad at conway for not telling me this was a food grade anal retentive shipper in advance. Mad at shipper for being so unreasonable...

    Instead I get a 450-mile deadhead to SD for a Monday pickup going to Waverly. 1900-mile week instead of 3500...

    Well ran out of 14 twice on this run first from FL to the flyin J in Resaca GA ...grabbin the next to lat spot @ 11pm .... Then last night I followed my GPS lady voice up us51 by Salem IL. ....think she saved me 15 mi and added 20+ mins ...ending up at the I-74 Woodhull IL Pilot at 2:20am ct

    pre planned to Muscatine IA to Sterling Co (stopoff) final in Denver

    so of course .... I highlighted for Fort Myers ... Should get me home next weekend or by early in the week April 7th

    anyone ever run this load ...1400 pick up tomorrow which I think might be a pre-loaded trl (hopefully not a NTAT kinda preload )

    Out of Corinth, picked up at Navistar across from CAT, relayed in West Memphis terminal, it's going to Greenwood,IN, same load we picked up afew days ago. Got preplanned for Cathage,MO doesn't deliver till Monday @ 7am, so now I have to call and change car rental to Tuesday, no big deal I guess gives us time to get a few things done
