    You can't drive to Hazelton PA. No such town. Hazleton yes. Been there a few times. So your truck had Ebola?

    Maybe it was Hayesletdown.
    Yes, every time something would be fixed, something else would appear damaged or in need of repair. Took a while.

    Only a let down if it takes too long to unload, or you can't find a close by load?

    Load to pa won't be ready until midnight. So I killed time going to the movies. 1st was Gaurdians of the Galaxy. Liked it a lot.
    2nd was Hurcules. Kind of a dud. Played out like a TV movie on USA. Entertaining but had so much more potential.

    I'll hit Hazleton in the morning, then I rescue a Ford load...again. I'm considering asking to get on Ford dedicated. Steady freight and predictable pay. It would be tight though. About 700 miles a day. I'd have to run overnight to avoid traffic to make that happen. We' ll see. I'll post what I get myself into.

    It would apprear so. I took 6 days off last week and went camping, I turned in 1 load. Yet I still ended up with a positive settlement of $248 after fuel and fixed. I was expecting a hole to dig out of.
    Sure, there are frustrations. It's not perfect and I never claimed the situation was perfect. Overall so far, I'm keeping afloat and the kids can all afford to take extra dance classes this season . I won't complain .

    Took a chance and tried a shower at Loves. Good thing I shave my head . Towels were still damp. Foaming soap in the shower is a let down . Oh well . Live and learn

    Running back to NY. Avoiding toll roads is a pain. Wish I had an ezpass already. (On it's way)
