<p>[QUOTE=&quot;supersnackbar, post: 4707577, member: 9858&quot;]It&#039;s not all doom and gloom at Snackbar Pass.&nbsp; I have had a major uptick in both miles and freight availability...back haul has been calling ahead of my delivery times and things are back to happy times.&nbsp; I got my monthly newsletter from the DAT loadboard folks...a shocking article was on there.&nbsp; It said July freight availability was hitting it&#039;s usual summertime low, but things were looking up.&nbsp; Funny, my June sucked, but my July rocked.&nbsp; Anyway, for the 1st time since the Love&#039;s chain had the rewards points system the way it is now, I hit Diamond level +4 gallons to spare...plus I also got my shower power level at the Flying Peelot...so that means I bought 2000 gallons of fuel (plus what I put on at the company facilities) and it isn&#039;t from idling.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the rumor room visits...since we have to get permission to leave the compound, and since shipping was so far behind a few months back, I have no place else to go...I am not a bookworm, and I spend a lot of time in my truck as it is...I need to escape and relax outside the confines of this 6 wheel&#039;d crap spreader .&nbsp; The only options are, the rumor room or brave the dangers of walking the lot and dodging speeding yard vehicles. To be honest, the rumor room had less death defying close calls.</p><p><br /></p><p>After my above average month, it was my turn to pee in the Dr.&#039;s cup and breathe heavy for them (random whiz and drunk test)...which pays me an extra 2 hours, on top of all my miles...when walking in to the clinic, a &#039;soon to be&#039; former Crete walked up and started chatting.&nbsp; I guess Poly&#039;s H/R had him down there doing his physical and pre-screen drug test.&nbsp; I played it cool, didn&#039;t want to scare him off...yet...hey, I may be an a-hole...but only when I choose to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Headed home next week, Outbound was trying to get the load ready early, but no dice., I have to be home on 9/10 again anyway so my wife can go out of town on farmers market business(cue the bull-whip and cat meow sound effects),&nbsp; so I cut this tour short, it has only been 30 days since I left.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
