    I guess!

    Well the bad news is I got a Ottumwa to Austin loadING today. The good news is I got a message from dispatch at 0847 saying it was loaded?! Sure enough, here I am, I saw the bills in the guard shack with my own eyes, and I'm hooked to a loaded trailer!

    Hey Saienga where are you going in Seattle & when do you have to be there? I'm currently on a 34 in beautiful Oakland, IA and will be heading to Seattle as well tomorrow afternoon. Sounds like I have an 0800 appointment at PCC on Monday morning. Please don't tell me you got a Sumner from Worthington. From what I hear those things pay $.25 more a mile than a Tyson load out there.

    Ya, but by the time I was MT I was deep into one and it's hard to pass up a run out there. It was either that or a Schuyler to Abingdon for Tuesday. I don't really mind going to Abingdon but it is a wasteland for reloads which means bouncing up to White Wave. If I do Seattle I can come back over the hill and load produce for better pay. Plus a buddy of mine & I have a friendly mileage challenge every six months and taking 12 days off for vacation really cut into my lead!

    Yeah, it's a PCC from Dakota City for 0600.

    Any hiding spots close to there? I've only been in there once.

    Last week's Seattle load was a Worthington for Costco.

    You can park down the street from there by the big fuel tanks. The last time I was there it was nothing but construction and the detour was very poorly marked.
