    After that crap last week ended up pulling out a pretty good week this time! Took home little over twice as much as last week and also picked up the wife to run with me for a few days. Currently we are heading back home now from Denver. After she jumped on board we ran a short run to Phoenix, drop & hook and hammered up to Denver. Grabbed short high paying load in Denver to Denver, and then grabbed this load, 7000 lb of sweet potato chips (NICE!) heading back to Fontana..

    Take er easy!

    Well doing fine still in the West. Stuck to my guns and hung out here pulling out another awesome week. Ran from Phoenix AZ to Denver.. then did a shorty Denver to Denver (paid $328 to go about 20 miles including deadhead) Then grabbed another load out of Denver and headed back on down to Fontana CA, dropped the wife off and then grabbed a load and went on up to Rock Springs WY. Somehow managed to gross over $5100 and took home little over $2300. That's good for me!

    Currently at Costco now down here in Mira Loma CA (spent the night at the house then made delivery this morning). Waiting for unload, after pulling this light 13000 lb load out of Green River WY. Anyone that knows Green River WY knows that usually nothing light comes out of there and it was only 27 miles from my last drop in Rock Springs. Good load choices.. Thanks to Schneider..Keep it going!!

    Until next time
    Keep it turning!!

    After Mira Loma Grabbed a load out of Van Nuys 6700 LB going back up to Pueblo CO...1060 miles to run with this load. Load has some time on it and that was ok because planning to stop and get some work done on the truck. Stopped at the TA in Holbrook AZ. Spent most of the day there yesterday getting front steers balanced, lube, furnished and install all new 8 drive tires, 3 axle alignment and balanced all tires.. Long day waiting for that. Spent little over $4200.00 eeeekkk!

    Originally was only going to get the steer tires balanced & rotated and tractor lube. Wasn't planning on doing the drives for a couple more weeks but got to taken a closer look and turns out 3 of my drives were not DOT compliant! (Yikes!) Just as well! Got it done.. It needed to be done and now should be good on tires for a while. The shop was decent, clean with good people. Gave me full credit on most of my existing tires.

    After the drop in Pueblo CO Grabbed load of pallets and went on up to Aurora CO about 120 miles.. Live unloaded and took rest of day off :biggrin_25525:. Yesterday picked up a load of Beer and on my way to Phoenix. Heavy but good paying load for the Denver Area. Trucked it about 470 miles yesterday including deadhead and now have about 580 miles to go. Delivery is on Thursday, easy stuff!

    Meanwhile been trying to get myself back into an exercise routine. That being said, it's time for my workout, clean up and get on down the road!

    Taker easy!

    Anyone know if Schneider pays anything extra for hazmat? I thought I remembered something about an extra stipend if you make the call to the hazmat line.

    Great paying beer runs from Denver to Phoenix. Straight down 25 to 40. 40 to 17 to Phoenix.
