    That is not bad at all considering the amount of labor that it takes to clean it up. I really need to get my trailer cleaned up at some point as well. I will be going to CO next week and might be able to find a load that way. If I get enough time I will stop by. Thanks for the information!

    Update

    I've called the receiver on Monday asking to deliver the load and they told me it's ok.
    So, I've showed up around 10 pm, they've called around 1:30 am and gave me a door. 10 minutes later, I've got a call and they told me I have to come back the next day, because the load was too big, they were thinking I have 2-3 pallets only.

    I went back the following day again around 10 pm, was finally unloaded at 5 am on Wednesday. The broker rejected my detention request, because they already paid layover.

    I was able to get one more load before going home for the Memorial day weekend. So I'm looking to make only 12K for this month.

    And I've had an emergency dental appointment on Wednesday as well, because a tooth abscess pain that started on Friday. My insurance refused to pay, so I had to pay out of pocket.
    Then after the appointment I've bought a chinese food to go, and I've got sick after eating it.

    The boss says she’s tired of lounging around the house so it’s time to get back after it tomorrow.

    Murphy's Law strikes again. And that wasn't all of it, but I'll keep to rest of it out.
