    Just finishing off a 3064 mile trip, now on to a short 500 miles to deliver tomorrow in Boise, then grab another to Cali to deliver this weekend. Not too shabby. 3 straight weeks of 3000 miles makes the wallet happy. Now to figure out TTR again....

    So here is my quote for the day :

    When you sit on the toilet so long that your leg falls asleep ; you just have to face it ...

    "Sometimes , #### DON'T happen" !!!

    Sometimes you've just got to have KFC.

    Whole story on that, one of our lease ops, that's in Lebanon, IN. That KFC does have truck parking, but they changed the layout and you can't get in from that driveway anymore. No damage, he just had to back out and go in the other drive. He got a kick out of being "featured" on Twisted Truckers, though.

    My week was a good one. Loaded in Strasburg, VA with 4 stops. Sumner, WA, Seattle, WA, Grandview, WA and finaled in Algona, WA. Then picked up in Tacoma, WA and delivered in Nampa, ID making 3560 paid miles in 7 days. Waiting on dispatch to head down to Walnut, CA for Sunday morning to put on this week's payroll too. And my truck is washed! Very productive couple of days. Last 3 weeks have been 3000+ miles per week so even though freight has slowed a little, I'm still going pretty strong.
