    Trailer was preloaded. Pick it up at 3am. No one around. I have hauled a few with no issues. I just pull the binders on the opposite side of the lean. This load only went about 15 miles.

    Also, I will add that like every load I haul, when you turn left or right, interstate interchanges, etc, always take those cautiously. I never ever get in a hurry, and even more cautious with loads like these.

    The what now... Seems to me like a regular week. Parked on Saturday, rolling again by early Monday morning.

    By the way, what's a holiday? Wait, those are those things that get in the way of me getting things done every now and then aren't they??

    No, just trying to do something nice for the driver. We warehouse coils for a metals broker and ship them to the customer. I loaded them on Saturday at our terminal for a driver who agreed to work Monday to deliver the coils and reload a 9R tractor, so I wanted to tie it down and tarp it for him so it was ready to go for him.

    Plus I like to do it, if nothing else, just to try and keep from getting too rusty.

    Ok, that's nice of you. Of course I see you didn't mention big brother helping. Lol
    We lded a Feller Buncher the other week up there. I really dislike those things, but the money has come up on them better than last year

    BB gets his duties wrapped up prior to Saturday. Pulling double duty in the office, then wrenching on Saturdays to help the shop out keeps me hear longer when the guys don't get back till later on Friday. It is good that we're busy.

    I'm kind of surprised to hear that. It's been so long since we've bid a shipment over 57k just for the fact that there was no premium to be had. I have to say, I'm happy keeping productivity high hauling 5 axle freight.
