    I agree and I don't like it but there were 50 mph winds in Nebraska yesterday.

    Got my treasure home from the auction the other day. (Cracked the tank on my sprayer last summer)
    Let's see. New tank for $1,000+ or a whole used sprayer for $500. Not a hard decision.
    But its just another load of junk according to the wife....:) tmp_18323-IMG_20160408_122602587-1430308057.jpg

    When somebody else owns it it's junk. When you own it it's merchandise, right ??

    Funny right there. Wife gave me greif the other day. Complaning about not getting as big of a tax refund this year (about $3000). Said it was my fault, because I sold a truck I had and made a profit of North of $20,000. All I could do is give her a blank stare and backed out of the house slowly. Yeah jd, WOMEN!!

    You stole that one.Only problem I see with it is it's not a pull type but for the money I could live with it.

    Ya no joke. Dispatcher doesn't even know I stopped there. It's about 40 miles out of route but by running the sleeper split I'm actually delivering an hour or two earlier then I thought with less load checks and no 30 min breaks.

    Of course I'm delivering 48 hours earlier then dispatcher and broker planned on. They planned on Monday since I couldn't make it till Saturday morning. So I call the customer and ask about delivering Saturday morning. He says he doubts it but gives me the construction foremans number anyways. He asked me where I'm at. I told him in utah waiting to get loaded. (This is on Thursday ). He says the load was supposed to be there today but they're working Saturday anyways and he'll just make sure the crane operator and rigger come in too since they normally have weekends off.

    So now I'm delivering Saturday morning and already have monday load set up for 6am so I can get a full days drive in on Monday instead of killing all of monday unloading and loading.

    It pays to make those phone calls.
