    Easy way to remember the different days.

    Armed Forces Day - Remembering those who wear the uniform.

    Veterans Day - Remembering those who used to wear the uniform.

    Memorial Day - Remembering those who died in the uniform.

    Hmmm, MVT must teach their drivers to ride the bumpers of other trucks to save fuel via the draft affect. Had one riding my ### along I-20. Tried slowing to let him to around me, but the ### would slow down also. So, i ran against the governor and opened up the gap by a few truck lengths. When I exited at exit 330, he gave me the finger as he passed.

    Well, so much for doing some local runs. Spent a while 30min at the yard. Hooked an empty and headed for Tyson in Vernon, Tx. Going to Olathe, Ks for tomorrow. Should be able to get a load from there going to either DFW or Houston.

    Time for a nap.

    I managed to get detention for the 7 hour wait at the WCC in Colton. I should be getting it for the 9hr wait at Fry's/Kroger in Tolleson. Might be able to get it for the wait at Tyson in Vernon, Tx. Still waiting on product for the load.

    They do have a restroom and cafe for everyone to use. The coffee, tea, and water are free for everyone. Even talked to the plant chaplain and plant manager while eating in their cafe.

    So, is there anyone we can contact at JCT that would be willing to re-program the Qualcomm to either come on when you get important messages (Like load messages, and dispatch messages, kind of like the old one did) or to have it come on every hour for a few minutes like the old ones did? Because when my QC goes down after an hour, it does not come back until I turn the key. Which sucks when dispatch is trying to get in touch with you and you don't know it because Sprint, LOL.
