    No sorry driver I don't drive there. But the company I work for has lost a lot of money and i think they will close by the end of the year. If they do Gordon is prolly my first choice to go to.

    In my opinion the dry van gets more miles on average but joseph is doing great due to his outstanding work ethic. Me on the other hand ... well .. I like dry van.. reefer guys have a lot of early morning appointments and I am not much of a morning person. . I usually start my day around eightish.. depending on how I feel.. but I do manage my time well and always get over 12k miles for 4 weeks out.

    It is not so much the early morning ones that get me. It was the sit at the Or/CA border area and time it to get through Portland traffic to drop in downtown Seattle @ midnight with a live unload. AND try to keep enough time on your 14 to limp to Pacific/HQ without going into HOS violation. That was some stress/frustration that I plan to never do again....

    Ok. I just scanned all my paperwork (oh she's gonna love me for that....) but I didn't realize how much I did this week. DH from PA to IL (don't ask) to head up to Chicagoland. Empty but they rejected 20 cases in Bolingbrook. Had to take them to Melrose Park. Then off to Elk Grove Village to pick up back to Edwardsville. Went to pontoon for a shower and sleep. Had a load on the yard to Columbus, OH. Dropped that and ran to Troy, OH for Manchester, PA. Dropped that and had a short run Mountville, PA for 2 am. Emptied out there and parked at Rutters. You Gordon guys, Rutters isn't a good as a Wawa, but they do have some sweet balongna and Tastykakes plus a ####### deli to get sandwiches and hot food at with parking. There is a few of them around the area. Anyway. DH back up to Hershey headed back to Edwardsville. Great great week. Today I shuttled for Rand. I was supposed to start at 10 am but nobody knew I was supposed to do it and I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Ended up headed over at 4:45 (I went back to bed) and pulled 5 loads, dropped 2 empties, spotted another one and took a bad one to pontoon. I'm not scanning those till tommorow. I feel bad enough about what I just scanned. Ha ha ha good times good times and GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!
