Got loaded in Orrville, as I filled out my paperwork a FXCC sprinter pulled in, driver goes in, comes out and says to me, you have my load to Indy! Hmmmm seems XPO double booked the load. First one there is the winner!

Don't like to lose a load, in these slow times, but I was due to win. But actually was a loser since someone failed to tell me this delivers at 0700 Tuesday... I dislike having to babysit a load.

I'm surprised that does not happen more often.

Made my delivery in El Paso now have to take a 34 hour reset, going to go to rudy's for lunch tomorrow, mmmmm love that brisket. Have to pick up a couple of bottles of sauce to take home to the wife...

On the plus side, no other large straight trucks here in El Paso so getting out of here should be easy (I hope).

Oh, forgot to mention I had my first lizard knock on my window,I was at the pilot in east St. Louis, she was actually pretty cute, but boy was she stoned....

Sitting in NC. Its been busy for me, or maybe just been in the right place at the right time!

Made it to St. Paul safe and sound, with 6 hours to spare. Now it is time to hit the hey until they open.
Laredo is soooo appealing right now.

Really? Eastern NC sucked today but western and SC had some. But then again no where near as many loads as trucks, I imagine.
