    It might be coming to an end. NFI is starting to get their grimy fingers in the mix. Will see nobody as of yet has a contract with the shipper. My dad ran flats almost his whole career wanted to get away from em and be a door slammer but we might have to switch back to flats or local oilfield work. The 99 im in isn't really a road truck. Tall rubber and 4.42 rears. I'm 13'9 with a van and 70mph is 1750 rpm

    Don't stress it. I can't put my thoughts into words when sober, let alone after a couple bourbons.

    Eh, I knew what you meant.

    Nfi will screw it up, don't worry. You will be doing it steady again. Shouldn't take them longer than a few months. Permanently perhaps.

    I hope so. No mega's pull out of here. Mostly small 1-5 truck carriers. Crown Cork & Seal. PepsiCo (Epic enterprises) up in Ayer mass is very very anal about on time. 100 hr if your late. They understand #### happens but road shut down and the likes they wont charge you.

    Most of the owner ops run old iron so no Elog to worry about. Just that dreaded owego coop that seems to never close...but I'm a local and can sneak around it if my log is iffy

    And we started parking at the Valero half mi from crown cork. Drive my car 40 mi back to the house
