    I'll chirp in for 1nonly here. She's probably off riding that #### bike or something. One reason she was in Indy (or Lafayette) was to pick up a new Wabash trailer, that is, if I remember correctly.

    I delivered in Louisville on Saturday morning with no trouble, and had a few hours break in the afternoon (which gave me a chance to catch up on paperwork, laundry, etc). Then it was up to Hebron, KY to get a load going to Upper Marlboro, MD (pd miles- 616). That load dropped Sunday evening. At that point, my 70 was very low, so I just got a quickie load from Havre De Grace, MD to Chambersburg, PA (pd miles 199). I dropped that one yesterday, and relaxed the rest of the day. This morning I woke up to a preplan from Chambersburg to Wilkes Barre, PA (pd miles- 155) which they backed up with a preplan from Wilkes Barre to Herndon, VA and Mannasas, VA (pd miles- 249)

    With 3 short runs in a row, I am expecting a good load next. Whether I'll get one or not remains to be seen :D but I am expecting one.

    Harvdegrace MD? Did you cross that bridge that was under construction?

    3/4ton load limit on it. 6am-10pm I got stopped by the MD DOT for crossing that bridge.

    I sent a macro correction to the instructions on that shipper there.

    question, back in the 90's when i drove people where happy to see the driver show up early, shipper and receiver, NO SERVICE FAILARE, i was thinking of joining swift in the spring but now may have to look at smaller companys with common sence, i know schneider has 40,000 trailers where nice for drop and hooks when i work there but hauls where short ,wear you down fast, and you had a fuel booklet with fuel stops, get fuel anywhere, that went with millis transfer and transam,

    That whole town was stupid. 3/4 ton limits on all the side streets. Trying to think what I got there. Carpet fresh? It was South of that bridge. Take a left.
