    remember back in september when i bobtailed to maine to bring back a tanker they had purchases?

    remember back in october when i hauled vegetable oil to washington and told the boss no way in h e l l i'm hauling tanks and running circles.

    well, now i'm hauling the first load of bio diesel fuel in the tank i brought back from maine. and apparently there are 12 loads that need to be hauled to los angeles. and nothing going back.

    the roads iced up a olittle after my nap. they were snow and ice all the way to st. george. then it was low clouds and fog into nevada. FINALLY, got good weather and dry roads.

    no one has signed the contract. as of yet. i guess if there's nothing by end of week. i can assume they were trying to fleece us.

    at least the cruise control got fixed.

    I remember one episode the one to washington I must have missed the part you picked it up from maine. Sucks that their is no return load. Do you get paid to dead head back.

    Well done with the doc it sucked having the ct scan. Getting injected into the spine did hurt I think he didn't numb me enough. But its over with and ill know the results in a day or two. We will be heading for lathrop tomorrow around noon hope we don't have to dead head to bakersfield after we get unloaded.

    beats me what the load pays. boss just says it's better paying. and i guess the load pays both ways. so who knows.

    i'm the only percentage guy left. everyone else is new and on mileage pay.

    Down in Modesto CA at Winco DC...our Lathrop ld got changed :biggrin_2557: this morning so JJ had to break all speed records in his 61mph truck:biggrin_2559: to get to Modesto at 9:30PM and we were here at 9:20pm (Will not MISS this governed Pete at all) Today it would have been nice to be able to run the speed limit in NV!

    Yep it is and sucking more every day......trucks didn't use to be so slow and the lds weren't either, not sure if its the January slow down or maybe they have lost a contract, all I know is we are getting a lot of the Americ-cold lds that deliver 600 miles away and usually 2days to run them lately!:biggrin_25513:
