    By the way would it be a waste of time to try get a truck# assn'd during Orientation ? I have a 1500 watt inverter , 2b installed , also have a DR's advisory statement of Medication that requires refrigeration 38 to 46 degrees if on the road with me. Or will I likely have to wait til Sat or Sun to get it into the shop prior to departing loaded ? Just wonderin , I'll find out one way or the other tomorrow.

    I'll be in the yard Tuesday morning. Hope to meet you Maninthemoon.
    Have had an excruciating weekend. I developed a severe tooth abscess over the weekend. This same tooth has had two prior root canals. Of course all the dentists are closed when you need to see them on the weekend, so I started stacking ibuprofen and acetaminophen just to make life remotely tolerable. This morning I had to deliver a Backhaul down in Houston, so after I got empty, I took my trailer over to Pol-tex(our plant down in Mont Belvieu TX) and then bob tailed over to Baytown to see a dentist. I was hoping to just get the darn thing pulled, but the dentist said it was way too infected and swollen. So I'm now Suckng down antibiotics and steroids for the next week and a half till I can get home and get this blasted thing out of my head. Rant over...

    Sorry to hear about that tooth problem, that #### can certainly provide some nice pain.

    Running like a scalded dog the next three days to make it to Dallas by Wednesday night as I got the ok on a 900 different for this load that delivers on Thursday noon. Not too enthralled about these onions as every time I stop seems the old trailer starts to creak and groan. Made it down to just north of Ogden tonight and plan on being in Albuquerque tomorrow night.

    Never mind I guess you are going to be doing a lot of cutting through the woods.

    I believe the only place they do orientation is in Grand Prairie.

    Step 1...tie string around tooth
    Step 2...tie other end of string around door knob
    Step 3....step back until string is slightly slack
    Step 4....attempt to slam door

    Sorry, couldn't help myself. Last time I had a tooth like that my wife still laughs every time I mention it. Turns out I have a voice that carries through walls when I'm in pain...3 shots of Litocane and Nitrous...and she could still hear me cussing. Fast fwd 5 years...got rid of them(or what was left of them). I got tired of looking like an inbread meth addict. 24 (whole or pieces), 0 pain...they've made major improvements in anesthetic.
