    Ozona Texas at the Circle Bar Truck Corral.

    Got my AC fixed this am, blowing 42° out the dash. I am really loving it.

    Just as I was getting that fixed a band clamp on the turbo went south, after a couple of hours had that rectified.

    Meant not getting empty today, but you know I don't care, I am cool and comfy.

    Well we got mty this morning.. Even before we got there, the office from Ga. is calling. We are in a bind. And your point is?
    Can you head towards Mi. just north of Ann Arbor and take a ld. to K.C. Ks.. Well not really, I need to do some work on my trk and wanted to do it here in the Quad cites... But we need that stretch trl.. Sorry going to the shop..

    Well when we were unlding there was a voice mail from the big boss. Please call me..So I do and he offered a nice cash incentive to go get the ld.. They were wanting to take the trl. from me and said we will bring it back right after we unld.. Yea right.

    Made it across the river into MN. Two stops to get rid of in the morning. Then I'll head back home grab my other trailer and try to get out to Watertown SD and get unloaded so I can go home and grab another load to bring out there.. And to think I was supposed to run one load this week....

    Yeah, I've never had one of those deals work out for me.

    When I was with Yellowstone just after they got bought out by TMC they had a driver quit and leave them a curtian van that was loaded had to go to North Carolina, was sitting at the yard in Coeur D' Alene ID, I had my own trailer, they begged me to grab theirs and run with it, I really didn't want to be with out my trailer, and known and behold what happened, rush hour traffic in Saint Louis, lost the brakes on the trailer due to a bad air valve and had to pull some crazy maneuvering to keep from ramming the cars in front of me.

    Got it off the road and sat there for 8 hours waiting on road rescue, by the time they got it fixed I was well out of hours, put me a whole day behind, then wound up having two of the tires on it blow the following day.

    Yeah, never again.
