    Unfortunately, if you are outside the contiguous US, you may not be able to find it. Have heard of some who get family members to send it to them.

    Wife has told me in the past that my words at times are like a sword, don’t really mean for them to be, just not much for ignorance….

    Flew into Dallas / Ft. Worth Thursday, Uber to Denton to retrieve 2 new trucks for a customer in Kentucky. He has a family member if I understand correctly that has breast cancer, he bought 2 trucks but specifically ordered one pink for breast cancer awareness.

    Dropped it off in London, Kentucky and jumped in a black day cab. Dropped it off in Lexington and grabbed another new red truck and drove it to Hurricane to retrieve my pickup. Dang tornado and storms really messed our flight up….

    Unloaded this morning in Joplin and ran down to the house. Loading to Missoula in the mornin. Brokers seemed pretty desperate today. Have noticed the same the last two weeks.

    I really didn't want to go back to work, so I offered 8600$ on a 6800$ load, 4k$ on a 3300$ load, and $5200 on a $4200 load.

    Stayed firm on all offers, and had multiple coversations from the brokers calling trying to make a deal.
