    Well just when I thought I was gonna make it home today around 1700, my truck tore up. Was going down the road and my check engine light came on and thank God there was a rest area 1 mile away. I pulled in and turned the truck off and turned the key back on to see what the code was. It said Def Dosing Unit, If for some reason ya'lls ever goes out, if you call our shop they will tell you that you can't drive it. However, I called Freightliner and the mechanic told me that so long as you are near full of DEF you can drive 500 miles max; before your truck will shut down. I was only 95 mi away from the Freightliner here in Augusta, GA. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon; so I can drop my load tomorrow and head home. Hope everyone has a safe Christmas and New Year!

    Delivered at Belpre Ohio Monday that got sent up to formsbe West Virginia to pick up a load going to portsmouth Virginia. Had to deliver by three o'clock Tuesday they were closing down till after the first of the year.
    Sat six hours waiting to load but made it there by two A lot tighter than I like. The directions to go there were wrong. Somebodymust have did the wrong search and had Avenue but instead of Parkway. When I seen the directions and address were different I researched it. So I went to the right address some didn't notice and went to the ave five blocks away.
    Sent new directions to maverick so it should be good now.

    Then I went to Plymouth North Carolina and picked up a lumbar load going over to nometa Virginia. Delivered the load Wednesday at noon. Thanks again to the maverick driver that sat in his truck and watched me take off my lumber tarps and fold them.

    Then I got sent to Gladys Virginia just 40 miles away to pick up a load of lumber going to Anderson Indiana. Made it there at three o'clock Thursday raining cats and dogs and 40 mile an hour winds. It was nice they told me I could pull the drive-through lumber building and unloaded in their sweet!
    Then home for the holidays message. Made it home seven o'clock Thursday night.

    Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.
