    I would rather not deal with the tailgating every stop and reloading empty racks. It would be like nursery loads all the time
    I've talked with more than a few drivers who did that account, and it can be pretty hard work.

    Fighting a headache tonight. I think it may be lack of sleep. I've been getting up before 4am and it's hard to get into " rest mode" during daylight hours.
    Once I drop in holland I go reload and head to good old Cullman al

    Wow. They are building a pilot just down from Tulip City truck stop. That's gonna hurt. But at the same time, I never fuel at tulip city, but I can fuel at pilot. I'll still go eat at the restaurant down the street.
    Turns out my Haworth "drop" is a live unload.
    All the better, now I have a light trailer to load my iron onto.

    Those aren't gliders.

    True, not all are gliders. Some are rebuilds with the original body.
    And some gliders are older already, they don't look as nice as the freshly delivered ones do.

    Just one of our freight lanes.
    I ran 80 a lot last year.
    It's a consistent lane that I can always count on. As is Bruce to Holland.
    I'll go to a TX and Fl too. Just depends what is available when I'm empty.
     
    RERM Thanks this.
