    Hmm..I see Lady Klingon at the bottom of page..I thought they were rolling,or maybe she's in State Trooper training and has learned to run a computer AND drive? :) One (State Trooper) passed me just before and he was playin on his computer and waved..:biggrin_2556: One of those rare I-wasn't-expecting-that-what-do-I-do-now-moments.. so I just laughed and gave him the finger..(forefinger) LOL

    Ugh great !!!!!!!!!!!

    Welp got a phone call today that I short of had a feeling it was gonna be coming.

    My DM is quiting , she called me to day and warned me . Welp now I guess I have a reason to try and get on a dedicated fleet. The only reason I didnt try before is. Things worked so well with her after the take over was all figured out I didnt want to get someone else who I didnt , well I guess you could say have a good work relationship with.

    Welp still parked in PA till 9 then off to Bethlehem PA for a drop . Then to N.Y. , and after that off to Florida with my ###!!! Hahahahaha

    Parked at the Road Runner distribution center I guess you can call it that in Bolingbrook, IL. No Mickey D's around. What is a man suppose to do. I do hope this goes smoother then the last time I was here. Load is suppose to be going to Denver for a Sunday morning delivery, but who knows where I will be headed when and if I get the bills.

    All this talk about Cicada rhythm's I prefer the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shores and some ZZ Top she got legs in the background. :)

    They are closing our terminal and moving everything to the swift terminal in Decatur GA. Witch she said is a longer driver by a good bit , plus she said it will work out better so she can be home with her son more .

    I spent about 10 minutes talking to her about it. Now I am gonna have a DM from Swift. Oh , boy here we go !!!!!!

    Cashs Truck Stop/casino La1 just south of the I-10 bridge in Baton Rouge. My sealed trailer got rejected for being wet and the usual tankwash we use when that happens was too busy to dry and reseal it.

    I got to venture across the old 190 bridge to qualawash. They don't put seals on or dry the tank so after 3 hours its still wet and hot. Cracked the dome and raced the rain back to this truck stop. I pulled under the fuel island 3 minutes before the bottom dropped out and got her all sealed up. How it passed this time I have no idea.

    They ran me out of hours but that's OK since I was on hourly pay once it got rejected. The silver lining in this PITA is I don't have to get up early to get this load delivered before 14:00 Friday. They are just having me drop it on the yard Saturday.
