    ROFL, I thought about that after I posted it.

    The stack guard was full of hair, stunk to high heaven. Dented the tar out of it. Of course it was a brand new truck too. I swear dear know the new truck smell. :yes2557:

    I had a deer run into my back trailer tandems, bounced off and left me a gift also on my trailer wheels. This happened at 2 in the afternoon which surprised me.

    I'm up in Michigan running around and I've seen deer all day. They're just standing around watching the traffic, unfazed. I'm glad the ones up during the day weren't out there last night. They're much bigger than the one that hit me.

    Diesel up to 2.69 here. Quit hauling from one elevator till diesel goes down. Talked to grain merchant wasn't going to raise rate...soooo either find something pays better or stop hauling for awhile.

    So when diesel was $4.69 they had the rates high enough but now they're being stubborn?
