Finally back running.. couple sick days plus an unexpected funeral of an extended family member made for a short week. Ran a short run to Goshen, IN earlier, pre-dispatched on one picking up after while near here, going up by the yard. Guess I'll get my PM done early in the morn, and hope for something mid range to save the week.. sis is still under medical care for at least another week.. gonna stick reasonably close. She's better, but heart still acting up, and they're waiting for it to be settled before doing shoulder replacement surgery.. (broken shoulder, socket needs replaced).

Over 12 hours with no posts from anyone? We all must be busy! Had the small load yesterday, theen got done with that in Warren, Mi.And got almost back to the yard and they called me and asked if I could do another one,in Warren.Needing the work, I did.It was a hot one.Real hot.I'm thinking yea, I've heard that before....lol...But, when I turn onto the street of the shipper, the workers were actually out in the street, waving me down...They were in super freak out mode..seems they made a batch of bad parts, and the plant was going to shut down if I didnt get there real fast.I was 10 minutes early.In Toledo now, hoping for another one to make this week somewhat respectable....lol...If one doesn't come up, going to the house.

Trying to see how many cell towers in Mexico my phone can switch to without telling me. Also, how many drug cartel members I can spot.
