    And I really don't put that much thought into that,i just haul what im givin and don't worry about my miles,i had a 2000 mile load two weeks ago and than sat for 48 hours waiting for another load.You can have all the 2000 mile loads Dc makes no difference to me makes no difference to me one way or the other

    You had to sit for 48 hours because you wanted to go home. They had freight.

    So using your logic you expect me to believe they only had one load out of California going in a Eastward direction from that Saturday at 1330 till Monday at 1500pm?

    hmmm isn't that ironic that the driver I swapped with to go home had a load going East and the load I had was going East also?That must been a record day for our company that day to have two loads pick up in California on the same day and both going East,does not matter I made it home on time as I always do.Short loads long loads they are all loads that we are paid to move which is what I do and never gripe about it.Hope you had a great time home last week Dc as well

    Out of hours at the Harrisburg PA pilot. But I have 12 hours tomorrow to get home on starting at 12:15 AM. lumpers at Wakefern took their time and another USA trailer got me - no lights. Luckily I saw McGyver use a plastic straw to fix his trailer lights and it werked fer me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody give me an AMEN. Praise be to McGyver.

    I need to go home now.

    No #### here...... The connector would partially hook up if I jiggled the male end. So I looked for something to make a shim with. AH HAH!!!!!!!! A plastic straw. "McGyver" is a family inside joke when someone improvises. It is bad when you look up and count lights to see how much your fine might be........ I want to go home. I would have hung out the window to hold that connector to get there. Friday i'm taking the truck on a tour of Louisville. APU work and now electrical too. All lights are currently working.

    When I was a kid we lived in Rockaway, Brooklyn next to the beach....... Walk to the water, look right and the Statue of Liberty was out there. Captain Kangaroo was our neighbor. I don't watch much television - UK Basketball/Baseball and news...... sometimes when Tiger is playing. That's it.
