Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Come off home time Loveland Co, broker load out of Laramie, Wyo. Made it to Cheyenne. High wind advisory between Cheyenne and Laramie. 35 to 50+ winds. Not fun with a empty trailer. Sitting at the loves being rocked to sleep

 

Out of the last 4 broker loads I have had, 1 was CH Robinson. Yes, they are a pain in the ###.... But I'd rather have a broker load than sit still. Paul says we are at about 8-10% broker loads...
As far as Pilot/Flying J... It is what it is. Get your card straightened out and you'll learn to deal with it. I prefer them now. TAs are mostly old and dirty... Some Petros ain't bad and almost all Loves are small... They all got pluses and minuses...

 

The one plus of a Flying Peelot, an automated shower system. Come in, swipe and shower. No keys, no 'now serving number ##' announcement to listen for.

Plus, unlike Love's, most Flying Peelots have laundry machines...plus, my son's employer is in charge of the a/c work in the one's in FL and many in GA. So, the more business they get, the more hours he gets.

 

The truckstops are currently administering their annual anti-loitering program again this time of year. What am I talking about, you ask? CHRISTMAS music....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sitting in the lovely Houston Love's bathroom, writing a letter and taking care of some necessary paperwork...being bombarded by Bing. At least I have only heard 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer' once so far this silly season.

 

That's not to bad. At least your making a living wage.

 

What the heck? I just left there and you've already gone by my house? (You know I live between Warsaw and Kenansville don't you?) I'm guessing US Cold storage?? Holler at me sometime!

Im sitting at a Peelot just East of St.Louis for an 8am delivery tomorrow. You fellows be safe and try and swing by and get ya new IPass and Prepass doohickies as well as ya stickers from Bryce!!

 

When I got the message from Paul, I felt like Steve Martin in 'The Jerk' when the new phone books came in...all I was issued was an I-pass unit, so I have had to pull into every scale and avoid all the toll roads except IL's.

 

Yea, Joey just sent me my new load info and I'll be delivering in Moorehead, MN in a couple of days and will go by and get my new stuff! Then I've gotta make my way by Coon Rapids and get my wheels back... But thats another story if anybody is interested just pm me!

 

Dam wind strikes again, gotta love wyo. Load moved to tomorrow. Only 52 miles away. 35 - 50 mph winds with blowing snow. Oh well, better safe than sorry.

 

After unloading tomorrow in neenah reloading hazmat in green bay going to blaine mn
