Money not Miles
I got a quote offer, twice, 15 minutes apart, for a load that picked up 120 miles away. Didn't hear either offer notification because I was asleep. Trying to figure out how such a situation shaves minutes off our response time in order to secure more leads (120 miles away), and keep wondering if the cyber quote offer isn't intended to just become a time-shaving replacemt for the "do you want me to bid in on his?" phone call. I keep hearing Dr. Ian Malcom in the background

Just got done watching "Daddys home" #1 and #2. Never laughed so hard...
Had a few great load offers today. Human and robotic. They were all duds, unfortunately .

Empty in WV.
On the positive side, I got out of the way of those southern storms coming through, and replenished my food supply, that was getting mighty low, and able to recharge my battery bank on the trip.
Trying to stay positive, despite the last last couple of weeks

I think the Great Human-Induced Global Warming Climate Change Southern Blizzard of 2018 is more Weather Channel hype-induced than anything, and there'll be a thin line of snow and the other 90% will be rain, and what snow does fall will be gone within hours
Could but just never know. Always better to be safe than sorry!
Good Afternoon Load One live from Sonny's BBQ! Finally got loaded today and I'm on my way. Having lunch and I'll be driving a bit today. Think I'll stop up the road and have a shower and hang there for the night and let most of this heavy rain past through.

I have a rule :::: If I do not see a driver in his front seat, I do not bother them.
So, imagine how I felt being waken up by one of those cheap freight hauling no name pieces of crap non English speaking drivers beating on the side of my van. Not good.
"YOU JUMP ME"!!!! "YOU JUMP ME"!!!!!!!
I told him no, that I do not jump start people. No.
20 minutes later, he appears again. This time with new Jumper cables in hand...." I HAVE LOAD !!!!! YOU JUMP ME !!"...
I wont repeat what I said to him. Ray was on the phone listening, laughing his a*s off, though.
Call me mean, cruel, or even a douce canoe, but there is no way in H*ll that I am going to help some one who is taking money out of my pocket by hauling cheaper than cheap.
He finally got a jump and took off like a bat out of h*ll.

Just a warning for straights, they are booting and putting this thingee on the windshield that cost $500.00 to get removed at the Berea, Ky Walmart. I watched the whole deal go down, talked to the parking lot management guy doing the booting. He said Walmart is tired of replacing light poles that are being knocked down, carts crushed, etc. 5 trucks got this before I went to sleep. Im in the wrong business.
