    That's real good, but I was in Columbus Ohio ,
    I 80 exit 70 in PA, they sell a stainless steel mount for the same price as Pilot sell the aluminum one.
    I don't know if it's any better

    Uhhuh, emptied out in Bowling Green, ky and got a 87 mile deadhead to Clarksville, TN, which is 105 miles if you run the interstate,
    But the load goes 466 miles to Findlay, OHIO, for an all day drop ( they tried the before 13:00 bs on the load info)
    But with only an extra 30 miles, I'll be home tonight sipping Dos Esquies Amber out of a frosty mug,

    I don't live in Ohio, but I'm there every day.
    Made it home, talked to a local driver on the CB that runs 580 miles a day for 5 days one week and 6 days the next, they go down to Alabama and load something in a dump bed. I guess Beelman is taking over and he's gonna give them a chance but he'll probably move on. Beelmans website showed they're hiring for the route, but in Alabama. Ugh.
    My local bar got sold, the place is a 2 block walk away, and for the rest the month it's 1.50 shots and 2.00 mixed drinks, which means $4 for a double shot of 101 Turkey on ice.
    Yeah, the ice costs a dollar.
    But, I'm due home next week, and I just noticed the Woodford Reserve, ugh.

    Arrggghhhh!!! I'm due home on the 27th.
    The load offers are pathetic, even for weekend dispatch.
    I'm empty now and 210 miles away.....

    I've been empty at Columbus. ..over 3hrs...was told the famous excuse. ..freight is slow/no freight....really makes sense to keep hiring drivers each week...why hire if you don't have freight
