Ok, my sons issues are a thing of the past and after meeting with him and letting rant for a few hours, he has moved on...The funeral was this morning...sad when such a young person leaves us at this time in her life...My grand son is better, not out of the woods yet and yea Ron, they have no idea what cause the WBC's to drop, and the infections....

Now the fun...I haven't cook for any clients or customers of our Dinner and Massage service since I got into Expediting almost 5 yrs ago...with the grandson in the hospital, his dad (my main chef for this service) asked to bow out for one this evening, no problem, I'll call one of the other 2....nope too short of a notice for 1 and the other is out of town....Soooo, I dug the Chefs jacket out of the coset and I am cookin for the client this evening.....then back in service tomorrow and back out on the road.....

Hey John, we have an appointment with Grace next week....my son will be back for that one, which is a good thing, he is much more creative then me and they will enjoy have a much nicer meal!!!

Strange for sure. Usually when there is an infection, wbc increases to fight it. Oh well, glad he is getting better. I'll sure your relieved. Take care.

Yeah pretty crazy price. I wish I could have known I would be here. My sister (who has unbelievable conections) turned down tickets for it, choosing to go to Vegas instead

I was like, "can you still get them" lol.

--And the $2000 is the starting nose bleed seat price

Good afternoon everybody. Well the nice things about Texas are the authentic Mexican food restaurants and the weather(save for the horrendous hail storm last night). I'm finding out how hard it is to get out of San Antonio. Being from Mich, I've had enough of Texas for a while. Is freight hard to find here or are there too many willing to work for nothing? That's one thing I like about Load One, I haven't been asked to work for cheap. Anyway, y'all have a good weekend and stay safe.

Texas has been really tough the last month. Too many trucks down there and not much freight. We have seen guys moving loads for .40 per mile. I have paid the fuel to move trucks out of there before I will bid that with our name on it.

Morning all. Raining here with a few flakes. 35 degrees.

Went to the doc yesterday. First visit to this GP since our old one hightailed it to FL. I was there for almost two hours and came away with a tetanus booster, donated 5 gallons of blood, and wonder of wonders, pills that will soothe Matilda's temper.

One pill before bed last night and I was able to get up and move 50% better than before, and no leg cramps.

The blood test will rule out or confirm any other causes of the leg cramps. Looks like Matilda has met her match.

Sitting at a plaza somewhere near wv. Probably go to bed and wake up and finish the 480 miles tomorrow. There was a 72 mile difference between loaded miles and the gps. Messaged in to dispatch haven't heard anything yet. Anyone know how to get am ezpass. Tried looking on their site and said its under going maintenance so couldn't get any info.

There are times that the GPS will not recognize a route...some particular road is new and won't show up. I've found that if I go on fleet vision and use google..it gives alternate routes that are right on the money.

Good morning all...

Your GPS is probably telling you to take 77 to Cleveland and across....the shortest way is US 35 off I64 and cut the corner of Ohio
