    Which wharf is getting new wood? Maybe I'll get the chance to walk all over you load while scaring tourists.

    Made it to mom and dad's house. Was snowing when I left Breezewood but it quickly changed to rain by Carlisle and stayed rain the rest of the way. Happy Thanksgiving!!

    Parked at home !

    Got here around noon or so , after driving my Mustang 35 miles on snow covered roads from the shop.

    I hope everyone has a great holiday !!!!!!!!!!

    For those that are out there tomorrow . We all thank you , and believe me . I did it last year , and its tough....


    Pretty productive day to I might add , ( well since yesterday before noon ) it started .
    almost 900 miles , loaded and unloaded in 24 hrs ....

    Why didnt someone warn me livestock was this hard work. :biggrin_2559:

    I had ran into some fuel issues wich was part of the reason for running straight through as well. I was loaded and by NO means will I stop till those animals are safe at their final destination.

    Edit : even though they are gonna die in a few hrs. Lol

    Hey , Rocks .

    Sorry about the sarcasm , but I really do care about the animals I deliver . I make sur they have the most comfortable ride to their last destination. I ran hard last night only because of them not being on the trailer longer then they needed to be .
     
    Rocks Thanks this.
