    I've heard they're about to raise the rates and repaving is in the works.

    Well they were putting up Jersey barriers on the toll Rd sunday morn from 49 back to 80/94 so that will be a nice mess .
    Guess next week it will be 65 to 30.

    The best way, time wise, unless the traffic is light, is I 94 x26, then you miss the worst of the stoplights on 30.

    I had some yoho pass me east of Valpo, in one of those reduced speed limit spots, and I saw him keep going west just as I turned onto 49, I took it easy, and the guy, who was driving hard, passed me again on the Borman.

    Worst part of 30 is the crash and roll stunt team takes it, too.

    That stretch from 65 to east Valpo is horrible sometimes I take 94 to 49 and then get on 30.

    I ran the toll road Friday afternoon unfortunately a west bound big truck rolled over just before the 20 bypass exit. They were diverting traffic into roseland it was unbelievable! Glad I was east bound.

    Hey @bzinger, just curious about that tif u had with the one dispatcher, did u guys hug and make up? I mean was he having a bad day and took it out on you maybe or not? Trying to get a little better gauge on the company I guess.

    He was cold for a couple days cause most dispatchers don't like being wrong and some take it personal .
    But he's warming up again and today he called me " buddy " lol.
    Was tempted to ask him if he got a raise ? Lol .
    I never did say anything about it to Brent just let it go and apparently he has too.

    Well I'm ending week 4 and though we have had a small pissin match I think they know what I will and won't do and that I'm not a yes man though I do gladly what most won't .
    I think we have developed a good relationship and I'm happy here .
    Changing jobs always sucks and ground has to be established.
    Got my 4 drops off and didn't hear sqaut from dispatch crying or whineing .
    Reload right back to Omaha out of penn tmw .
