Thanks Jenny! Good to know.

Hangin out at the J in Olive Branch. Its about 90 degrees here with a nice breeze. Ive spent most of the day visiting with a Landstar driver that showed up this morning. Just realized we've shared that shade tree for 4 or 5 hours now and neither of us know the other ones name..lol.

Looks like I'll be here for a fifth day?

Delivered in Milwaukee this afternoon, pickup in Chicago in the AM going to KY. Looks like I'm going to be able to help my son move to Knoxville over the weekend, after all! Thanks to the great people we have in dispatch!

Chris, Chris, get to el paso your wasting time.

Listen to this man, his advice is explosive.

I would second the move to El Paso. Everytime i dropped in Nogales and waited around Tucson /Nogales area i would get skunked. To this day i have never loaded out of AZ. I always put it in the wind and go to El Paso, 90% of the time i would get a load out the next day. But El Paso has never disappointed me in all the years I've been in the SW. Think about it, its gonna cost you roughly $100 in fuel to get you there where you'll get loaded vs. spending money sitting.

Well good morning all, Hope everyone week is good so far.

It was one year ago today that I started at Load 1, Thanks to every one here for all you have done for me. The Front Office and Disp. have always helped when I needed it, and listened when I just had to Vent. It is a great family feel here with O/O and Drivers helping each other. Thanks all and have a Great Day

Also, Thanks John for the Rewards Program. That was a Bouns for a Year

Hey John why not get one of them fancy French toilets that clean with water, that would get rid of the clogs.......no t/p needed......as most drivers never clean their a** this could be a double win, win........called a bidet (i know I can't spell).....i think, you know water shoots up the middle......very clean.
If Load 1 put a bidet in there, we'd never get OVM off the toilet.

FWIW, the last time I was in the Phoenix/Tuscon area, I stayed in Eloy for a day and then moved to El Paso, only to turn right around and deadhead to Nogales for a pickup. And the last two times I've delivered to Nogales I've gotten loaded out the next day.

At a sprinter convention in Laredo :(
Looks like its gonna be a dead head to Michigan if I don't get a load heading that way in another day. Just got word that my License plate got sent to my home by mistake so no chance to have it sent to me now. Temp Expires on Friday :(
