    December is here!

    Well it didn't turn out to be my last load this year. Murray booked a Marion IN to Dolton IL this morning at a great shortie rate. Now I'm that much closer to home and that much wealthier now. Giving it one more chance, maybe a Chicago up into WI?

    December is here!

    Got a Bristol CT to Kokomo IN. 800+ miles. Could be my last load this year unless CRE can pull a Chicago or WI out of that magic hat.

    That's one of my favorite things at CRE. You tell them you want to go home and they'll bust their butts to get you running the right direction. The difference is that Murray and Sally were both expedite drivers before they started hiring. They understand how valuable that home time is to their...

    December is here!

    Sitting and waiting for my next load in Dexter, MI. Been a non-stop week so far. Close to home but really want to finish out the year with a strong string of runs before heading home. Once I'm home, that's it until January.

    Ran into Pubboywis and Drifter today at the Pilot in Corbin KY. They were both loaded and stopped by for fuel. First Pubboywis saw my van and came over. We went to the buffet next door. Then Drifter texted me asking where I was? He was at the Pilot getting fuel and saw my van also. He then...

    November's Gabfest...

    Dropped last night in Huntington, WV. Was sitting on I-95 just north of Baltimore when I got this load. Most weight I've ever carried in the new Transit. It pulled the weight up the mountains effortlessly and handled perfectly. Too bad the fuel milage sucked! Only got mid 15's with 2,500# load...

    Took a Milwaukee to Hibbing MN for a morning delivery. Slept in their parking lot. Got one from the same place I dropped going to Fort Wayne IN area. Feeling lucky! [emoji2][emoji2]

    November to remember and chit chat

    My dealer recommended trans fluid change at the 60K checkup. Could just be trying to earn more shop labor! We're not that hard on transmissions, I'm going to wait and follow the Transit owners manual recommendation.

    November's Gabfest...

    Booked a load on Sunday morning picking up Monday morning in South Beloit going to KY. Sitting at the Madisonville Pilot tonight. It was one heavy 2K skid. First time with a one skid load that I didn't just drop it on the tail. This one, we took an empty skid and pushed it just over, slightly...
