    He put it better than I could, but it seems like this is a recurring problem.

    I think I've just been having bad couple of weeks since I came back out, and I agree I am having some issues with it, however tires blow, and I know with the trailer tire that blew i did not hit a curb or anything with it, as for the migraine, if that was the load I was under going up to Oregon, that load made it on time as I had enough for a 10, getting sick I can usually keep running but safety pulled me due to the meds I was on, I won't argue the incident in the yard should've never happend, can't really argue that one and after doing the math I figure my threshold is around 600 miles a day, so 3 days would put me at 1800 miles, on a 2300 mile run, I'm sleeping here in Cheyenne, I'll figure it out in the am

    Figure it out right now. Once you close the doors and put the seal on, it's time to hit the road, and hit it hard. The left door stays shut, the breaks are 10 hours... not 12, and the truck doesn't get washed unless you have some serious time to kill within 50 miles of your receiver. You do the miles first, as many as you can as quickly as you can.

    Denver CO... as soon as I'm mty, I'm off for a week.

    Chuckies post was hard to read last night, but was what I needed to hear, thank you, called my fm today and apologized again for arguing with him the other day, then talked to him about some of the issues I've been having, and he agreed to work with me on them as much as he can, and what's in the past is in the past, then asked him to take a look at this load, which was followed by "expletive I didn't realize there was a delivery on the 27th, I thought all three drops were the 29th, just roll as hard as you can under it, and I'll see what I can figure out" man sure glad I called him on that lol, Sidney, ne to grab a quick lunch at the chinesse place, ogalala for fuel, and then running like hell til that dot clock reads near 0:00, and thankful I have an awesome fm right now

    Hope you're alright, let us know how you're doing

    indiana/Ohio border, still under the ny load, dispatch knew I wasn't going to make this, and said it won't be held against me, (I got 1650 miles in 3 days) but I called my 02 since I haven't gotten any info on my appointments to see when they close today and they close at 1500, and are closed tomorrow, relayed that to dispatch (won't be there until 7 o'clock tonight) and let them know I'll be waiting outside when the 02 opens on Friday then high tailing it to my other 2 drops
