    I was figuring it was going to be a run to Southaven, MS and back. This was a welcome change in pace. [emoji4]

    I didn't know you use Verizon... :biggrin_25512: So then, tell me the "secret"... I would like to know what I need to do to pay less... :biggrin_25519:

    I have been with Verizon since it was called AirTouch Cellular... a very looooong time ago too...

    I have one dumb cell phone, one jetpack (USB modem) that I use on my laptop to connect to the internet.

    [​IMG]

    And one number just for the internet.
    So, they charge now $70.00 for 6 GB (for mobile broadband)... I don't like to depend exclusively on WI-FI... :biggrin_25512: And don't want to use my cell number to connect to the internet.

    According to their website, the maximum amount of data they offer is 100 GB for $750.00 and for 40 GB it costs $300.00... Don't know if the card you have is the same of what I have... I think that the number of devices can make a difference... more devices, bigger discount... Maybe?

    My reload is up in the air. I've got a double decker trailer which could mean I'm dead heading to Indianapolis for ProTrans (they double deck loads to fit 70+ pallets in a trailer) or several customers in Michigan. Then again it could just be a coincidence that I got a DD trailer and I'll load a regular load in Chicago.

    Oh 10-4 get to do a sunday unload thats cool This is one of them time i dislike flatbed. Seems almost noplace loads or unloads on weekends and most places 3 or 4 pm they quit. But don't sit to load or reload much. Think last 2 years only had maybe 10 places that took longer then 2 hrs. I do know only 2 places made me think i was at the wrong place as the loading process took so long I thought I was getting a Walmart load as a outside minor carrier.

    Lol, I meant 8am Monday.

    I've dropped trailers at ProTrans in El Paso on Sunday as they are a 24/7 operation.

    The only Sunday live unload I've done in recent memory was FritoLay in Phoenix, AZ.
