    My friend will be home this weekend for the Prime Picnic so I am driving down Saturday to spend the weekend. I haven't been down since March and I'm really looking forward to the getaway.

    To say the past couple of weeks have been disappointing would be an understatement...LOL. I am hoping to contact Penske or Ryder and rent a commercial straight truck with Air Brakes and get my Class B. Even if I can get it, I have to find somebody that would want to run team, as all the Expedited companies run team only, and they are all O/O, which is yet one more hurdle.

    Anyway, if any of you are going to be in Springfield this weekend, I hope you have a safe and fun time. I'll be helping my friend get his house put back together, and he wants to go out on his Harley for a while. I was checking with him to see if there would be a problem getting a motel room and he said most of the drivers would be staying closer to the yard or in their truck. I usually stay up by Wal Mart on Kansas Ave. If I see any trucks, I'll give ya a honk and a wave. I'll be in a white Toyota Rav 4.

    Take care everyone and remember someone out there cares about you.

    Due to a change of plans, I didn't get to spend as much time in Springfield as I had hoped this weekend. I did manage a drive by of the Prime facilities, and from what I could see it's quite an awesome facility.

    There were a couple of trucks pulling in while I was turning around; I gave them a wave, and like always, the drivers waved back.

    I've had a chance to visit with the wife of a driver, and I really enjoyed it. If all the spouses and significant others of drivers are as kind as she is, you all have some fantastic support at home.

    I hope you've all had a safe weekend and I wish you busy days to come. Stay safe.
