    I live right down the street from Kennesaw: may come meet you at the docks, and I'll PM you my number. You can let me know what you want in your coffee and I'll have some fresh from home. I'm sure Deb will have some apple brown betty or something she made in there too. But it's not for the dog!
     
    ScooterDawg Thanks this.

    That's really none of your business!!!!

    ehehehehe Naw, just kidding...... last month I had 9124 miles but you have to count in that I had 4 days off and there was another 5 days through out the month that were non productive due to shipper / broker / dispatch glitches. And the dispatch glitches were caused by the during and aftermath of the flooding and freezing in Fargo, forcing closure of dispatch. Can't really blame them.

    But I will say that recently, they have been right on top of getting me my next load. I almost always (really from the start), know where I am going next before I get to my current delivery. The trick is to stay in their ear, but not harrass and bother them.

    I could be happier, but I am still happier than a lot of other guys I talk to out here.

    Ha, true! My first truck was a 6 cyl. dump with a double under box. I used to polish the dash, hood and fenders and treat it like I owned it!

    Job hunting and doing back taxes. Give a shout, especially if you're going up 75 and we'll meet up at the Awful Waffle (you know; Waddle House) - there's a big parking lot across the street from it at exit 273 (Wade Greene), my exit. Lots of places to eat right there; we can take my truck.
