    We just had a driver come to our dedicated fleet after being on the Midwest regional for the last year. I asked him why he left the regional side and he told me after a year on Midwest regional he was barley getting 1500 miles a week. He came over to us after he "Fired" his DM.

    Have no real clue what it is like on the road.

    For the better. The Beatles were one of the greatest bands ever. I think their music still stands up today.

    Well it looks like I might be shut down for the next 15 hours or so because I have to deliver this load late and make the drop and hook to kingman for friday morning.

    Night shift for me for the next couple of days.....

    Good driving day! This calendar day QC says I've driven 518 miles. Then there are the mile I drove between 8:00 pm and midnight last night. Straight through, stopping only once, for a 30-minute DOT break. I am one whipped puppy, too, I can tell you!

    I also discovered that my truck isn't listed with the New Mexico DOT for their bridge and weight permit (I think that's what it's called) so I paid $62.50 for a one-time permit to the nicest late-night scale officer ever--it was much easier to do that than try to get the overnight DM's to list it...if they even could.

    The only disappointment, and it was a significant hurt, was not being able to connect with my son in C-Springs while I was in Pueblo. So close and yet so far, but it just couldn't happen. And it might never happen again.

    Now, take my break. This afternoon, I will push very hard to make Rancho for my 0930 appointment tomorrow. The miles and time on my recap are going to make this a very tight trip, so I'm hoping for light-to-no LA traffic tomorrow. I used to live in that area and know it can either be horrid or good. I'm hoping for good; it's far enough north and late enough in the morning...

    My guess is our heirs will be talking about their impact on music 50 years from now, 100 years after they arrived. And my guess is it will never happen again.
