    Well the cats delivered another short haul and now have 4500 safe driving miles.

    I wanted to kick back and eat tacos.

    Baby told me NOT to give Mincy the password to the load board. F/U bad on that one.

    Phoenix load is ready!!!!

    The getting is only starting to get good.
    It all started with a BIG carrot to Washington.
    Then took a load down to L.A., was going to get a load to Phoenix.
    Enter the BIG carrot back to Washington.
    That was Easter weekend. Well stepped on landmine there, cause my two, go to shippers, both closed for the week.
    Well F.
    Go to Indiana. Get load from agent I do alot from back to Arizona, good load.
    "I need that round tripped."
    Same rate?
    "Yes."
    Well F me to tears. Ok.
    Get Arizona. Get cats, and Income tax done, paid, mailed, paid CPA, paid all the rest of the bills, water everything, back to Kentucky.
    On the first trip to Indiana from Washington, I deliver, sitting in Petro lounge, (ringtone), I see you'll be available in Lexington on ( whenever it was ), I have a load that goes from Indy to Fresno on that day ( this is like 8 or 9 days out mind you ), pays 5800. And he breaks out an extra 300 for loading, unloading, tolls.
    Well talked me right into that.
    Got to Fresno Monday, dude took it day early.
    Booked this load back to Phoenix 2 weeks ago, to insure I'd go home lol.

    Did a short haul in the snownado in Indy as well.

    2 short hauls here in last 2 days.

    I took care of my Dad for a long time, so normally I'd stay out maybe 4 or 5 days tops, and I'd do LOTS of loads nobody in their right mind would do that had 8 or 9 stops over 2 or 3 days in Phoenix, cause then I was home.
    He passed away January 26th.

    So about the second week of February I started doing what I usually do, go where most people don't like too for the good money.

    I told myself I'm taking a week off no matter what. I've turned down two loads the last two days out of Phoenix for early next week NOBODY would turn down lol.

    Truck needs things too.
    Cats need R&R too.
