    Sitting in the back of a wal mart in westminster,md trying to keep a low profile for another hour so I can get out of here. Probably gonna do a 34 and head back out on Wednesday. Been a rough week lots of daytime sleep and night time driving,might have blown my idling time for the first time since I started here. Keep it safe out there boys.

    Delivering in Rapid City, SD tomorrow morning. Called to see what kind of stuff we usually reload with in this area. "Yeah, nothin'," was the response. So it's about as rare as I thought to actually final out in Rapid City. Load pays really well, though.

    @ Mic, happy times on an easy road test. How'd you like the tour of beautiful downtown Sheldon? Echoing your sentiments about the change from a big company, if you stay patient and stay amiable, there's almost nothing here that can get under your skin for more than an afternoon.
    Others might disagree, or suggest that I'm blowing smoke up your skirt, but after getting run like an ox and fed like a bird at my previous jobs, the occasional speed bump here just doesn't seem like much to get twisted up about. Good running, newbie! (heh heh heh...)

    Did you make a visit to the fine people of Nasty Finch out in Rapid or was it the insulation from Plymouth, MN? I have had it both ways at Wolverine, wam bam thank you Ma'am to what you are experiencing. Luckily the people there are half way personable but a bit on the sloooooow side if they really want to be.
