    Definitely a nice terminal. I'm excited since I was able to buy a new set of sheets for the bed. Craig is soooo excited since I bought PURPLE. Got to make the truck pretty is all I have to say. They just took the truck in and hopefully it will be a quick process. I can hope at least. Really looking forward to a long run out of here again I can hope!!! Hope everyone is having an awesome day!!

    Springfield in one of my favorite terminals. is too.....mostly because it is soooo easy to get to...LOL

    Sean and I were just leaving the house yesterday when our load got changed.....ended up going to Ottowa, KS for a Walmart load that delivered in Menomonie, WI tomorrow morning at midnight to 2am, but we got to deliver it early, so we got here about 3:30...I drove today to free Sean up for tonight....updated our PTA last night for 5pm, it is now 6:40 and still no PP.

    Oh Anna you are in so much trouble, you being a trainer is kinda like running a puppy rescue....how in the world are you going to let Sean go when she is all grown up?

    Sean has been saying that she doesn't want to leave me...LOL

    We were joking today about being a "team" that runs as solo drivers, taking turns driving every other day, but decided we wouldn't make much money that way...LOL

    Well, it's almost 9pm, nothing from FM, Sean is asleep, and I'm headed that way. I only have 90 minutes left on my 14 so my day is over with anyway. I'm thinking to just have Sean go ahead and drive during the day to get her hours in and I'll just have to struggle with sleeping and driving at night.

    Thanks Rhonda....I don't know about the productive part, tho....we are able to run almost like a team and we are getting solo runs...LOL

    After a 90 minute nap we got a PP....going back to the Minneapolis area in the morning for a load headed to a rail yard in Chicago...due in Wednesday morning....if we can deliver early then we will run Super Solo and then spend the rest of the night at Markham.

    We got up 0 Dark 30 (or I did anyway) and drove to Avilla IN North of Fort Wayne for a 4:00 AM load. Easy run to Belvidere IL to a Chrysler plant with all three pallets in our almost empty trailer. We are sitting on the grass on a perfect day in Davenport Iowa and have an early pickup at Fedex in E Moline heading for Colorado. We have decided to work over the 4th and take the following weekend off in Florida to watch the final Space Shuttle launch. One of the coolest parts of this job is getting paid to go wherever we want to take some time off.

    Based on your other four posts on the board today, I am absolutely sure that USX feels the same way about you.

    Go run illegal somewhere else
