    Keri just sent me a text that if I heard a story about a disruptive passenger being removed not to worry they are all OK. It seems that airport security had to get involved and they did not let somebody board a flight this morning. Still in Denver headed to DFW!

    How to tame wild shop cats.

    FF0D77B1-5EE4-4ACC-9595-F579149FABAE.jpeg
    Can of deviled ham chicken spread.

    No loads today that’ll pay enough, yet trucks are taking them, that’s the ones who bought a $100,000 500k miler I bet.

    If they figure all miles, don’t know where they unloaded, but let’s just say here in town.
    Figure those DH and then load miles would be 800-810ish.
    The best they can do is 1.75/mile.
    Fuel at $5/gallon, if you get 5 mpg is $1/per mile just for fuel.
    Then driver salary, say $.50, so the truck makes maybe $.25/mile, so $200.. but wait!
    There’s more( isn’t there always) now minus tags, insurance, wear and tear/oil change per mile. $200-cost means a big fat -X

    I didn’t start a nonprofit organization, so I dropped a day, and booked a load, loading tomorrow 210 miles, unload tomorrow after noon for $1200 to the truck.

    I guess no one told them that..,

    Sometimes gets hilly and curvy, and may be lined with turnoffs that quickly go to Fart, VA (really is such a town....and I’m sure it has such a pleasing aroma.)
