    Not especially. But being a broke Landstar Op, I have to buy these things where they only cost 1/2 of what they do in a truck stop. $22 for both, compared to $45 at the TA is a lot for me, unlike the big timers.

    Gotta pull the trigger is all. I'm hesitant without two base customers.

    Nice way to start off the week. Saw ANOTHER big truck and trailer turned over in Oregon on 1-5 mm 97 SB lane in a curve...again.

    Looked like one of Gordon's older blue FL.

    The irony of all these turned over trucks & trailers I've been seeing lately is that none of them have been white Volvos.

    Barbeque chicken breasts, pork and beans, fruit salad. Washed down with an ice cold cream soda.

    My wife does it again!

    Maybe I should start posting pics of my wife's food, cause posting pics of food on the internet, no matter what kind of food, is really cool.

    I passed that one too. Definitely an old Freightliner Columbia in Gordon Blue. Looked like speed was a problem on that curve. Saw a dead bear on the shoulder a couple months ago and two cubs sitting in the grass on that same curve. Always something interesting to look at around the casino.

    Well, I haven't seen any turned over trucks today.

    However, it is still early in the day on the west coast.

    Early in the day at 10:00 AM? You're working banker's hours.

    Yesterday I left Halsey OR at 5:30 am, delivered in Vancouver at 7:30 am, and was home in NorCal at 9:30 pm. And yes, I PC'd the last 3 hours home. Two full days for $4,200 gross. I'm liking the current market. Hope it hangs around for a while.
