    Everyone must be busy as me! I'm in Madison, en route to Greencastle, PA for 1000 Sunday, wasting time hand rolling smokes. Random enlightening visit to a tabbaco shop in Sioux Falls...

    Yes Brian I too have been a busy guy! I was on the night shift all last week which about killed me! I emptied out on Thursday up in Fort Atkinson, WI & from what Sheri said half of our fleet was in Wisconsin that day so Jay was scrambling to get everyone reloads. I sat around all day & finally about 1530 Sheri pulled some strings and got me on a load from Monroe, WI to Front Royal that loaded on Friday AM. I didn't care in the slightest because I needed a good 14 hour power nap! If anyone loads there & wants a good place to eat walk about 4 blocks north from the warehouse there is a place called The Blue Ox. It is on the east side of the street kinda set back but well worth the walk, cute waitresses too! Now I'm on a load outta Cargil in Mt.Crawford with 2 stops in Yorktown, IN on Monday, Chicago Tuesday AM & Woodridge, I'LL that afternoon. If anyone is going to be stopping at the Pilot in Greenville, VA between now and 2300 Sunday swing by and say howdy! Safe travels!

    Sounds like Wisconsin was the place last week. I got home yesterday afternoon, back out tomorrow.

    Be safe, and stay dry, looks like a wet one.

    I'm seeing a VW truck east bound on HWY 412 heading for Tulsa, OK in the mid-late afternoons the last couple of weeks or so. Are y'all running a regular route thru or to Tulsa?

    @jonathan51 we load quite a bit over in Enid # Advance Brands for one of our customers out on the east coast. @Meltom every company has their bonehead drivers that don't practice common courtesy.
