    Atlanta, and 'olhand, it is one of the tight ones but I lucked out and got a door not too far from an unused driveway so had a little extra room to maneuver.

    First time I've ever had trouble seeing the lines for all of the fog rolling out the back. It is hot and humid here!!

    I rolled in right at 20:00 last night.
    The dispatcher types do NOT talk among themselves, The main guy asked me to take a load the second guy put me on yesterday. And he thought I just knew about and was already doing SDV to World Trade Houston. But I didn't have a pick up number.

    Got the trailer after that and got 32xx# just off 610N a couple miles west of 45 and took it to S. Main St @ Fondren. Then ran to Sheldon Rd and picked up 6224# going off 610S near 288. Then boogy up to SDV and WAIT for the stuff I was told to take. 22XX# to Air France, 692# to Land Air and 10# to CAS.

    At the minimum today 4pc at 4xxx# to Air France and 24# to Panalpina

    I think I'd rater be busy with Airport Transfers than run all over town, but I gotta take what I can get!

    So I went to pickup another new truck this week. I was supposed to have met this new kid in ABQ, where I was going to train him after swapping trucks. When we talked Tuesday I told him to keep me posted on his eta. Yeah.

    I'm currently in Amarillo, now diverting to KC because we still haven't heard from this idiot. And of course I now have to figure out what do my pickup, as there's no parking at the KC railhead. He was getting a chance to get in a year old truck for no money down, and work the gravy train we are currently riding, but is apparently too squirrelly to avoid whizzing away the opportunity. Sigh
