    That's why I hate Facebook, I bet mike miller could suck start a Harley.

    well, I got another shag. That makes 3 in a row. I weigh every shag too.

    A full trailer of empty aluminum cans, and my gross was 39,540 lbs.

    you sound stressed, you should see an Asian chick.

    here was my day, woke up at 3, dropped my load, saw the preplan, 455 miles. Pickup and deliver today. Told them I'd drop tommorow.
    took a nap, picked up the preloaded trailer, fueled, weighed the 15,000 lb load, showered. Made it halfway to consignee, just happened to stop near an Applebee's. Later, I'll watch more of 'The Middle' and wake up sometime tommorow and deliver.

    I saw a bunch of new Crete trucks at a Flying J in western illinois today.
    Even saw a new blue truck hooked to a red Crete trailer, I don't know why they still do that silliness

    The big question still is.....

    Is it 13 percent?

    or 13 cents??

    I thank Heartland for throwing that gauntlet down
