    I went to Wal-Mart earlier. Was out of eggs and ham steaks. Really need to try to nap. Its gonna be a long freaking night. 645 miles. That's a 58.6mph average to get it done in 11 hours.

    Most of the times That I have helped a driver out because he was broke down.

    I have been at the house empty, my coordinator calls and tells me about the breakdown, where the loads going and how much total money is in the load.

    Then based on total dead head and loaded miles, I come up with a price. Sometimes my price is more than the truck was going to make. Sometimes it's fair for everyone.

    Yeah, I've had two times that I broke down under a load. The first time was 100 miles from the final. The load didnt pay great to begin with and the driver had to dh 150 miles to come get it. My tow bill cost me to break even, so the other driver put me in the hole.

    The second time was back in March when I had the rebuild. They tried to find someone for 3 days to finish the load out, but no takers. I called the customer and he said no worries, don' need it for a month, so just bring it once you're fixed.

    I'e watched a few games, they seem bipolar this year. They play really good one game, then like complete garbage the next. I haven't watched any of the Bears though. I didn't watch NFL much at all last year, haven't seen a single game this year. I usually take saturday off during football season, I have always preferred college and evidently I'm not missing much this year.

    I've only been able to watch 1 or 2 Bears games, evidently im not missing much. I have been watching other teams though. I think as long as the McCaskies own the Bears not much is going to change. They need to revamp everything from the Top on down. I watched only one Hawks game, I get into NHL more so when playoffs come around.

    That's probably true about the Bears. They have kind of become a perpetual middle of the road team that seems to get a little worse each year.

    As far as hockey goes, there are so many games I don't really get to into it during the regular season either. I flip through the channels and if there is a game on I'll watch it, but I catch as much of the playoffs as I can.
