February Banter and Location

[Turtle]

I picked up in Detroit at midnight. Roads all the way down to below Lima were brutal. Took 3.5 hours to go the first 100 miles. After that it got better, but they really weren't clear until south of Dayton. I didn't see that first salt/plow truck until I got to the Ohio state line, and that one was just sitting there in the median playing Angry Birds or something.

But now I'm 41 miles SW as the crow flies of OVM, where I'm going to bed, 4th out.

I did finally get the big lettering on the Sprinter yesterday. So now I get to sit at the adult table at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Now I understand the premature offer for a paid move....Guido in Huntsville....Turtle and 2 others going to be 40 miles south of me....Why can't dispatch just fess up why the offer to move? I specifically asked why the early move and all I got was...I was instructed to ask if you'd like to move or not. Had I known I may have made the move I am # 1 here in a good area....let the followers move..gee whiz....

I'm in Springfield. Figure I'll sit tight for a while, see how it looks tonight or tomorrow. Only 100 miles from the house, tho.

We all care Scott, truly we do !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy said the local is pulled up enough to get a straight in behind it. We will maybe see later if i can get motivated to do something.

For the proper monetary incentive I can.

Tuscaloosa Ala.....cold here tonight. A question for anyone that chooses to answer: How long do you usually sit in a location before moving? Do you rely on dispatch for guidance or just figure it's time to move? I know sitting is part of the overall experience but I'd like to cut it down to a more manageable level. A day or maybe two isn't bad but it can be 5-6 days at times. I know dispatch is looking for loads. If they're unsuccessful then how long do you usually give it before moving? OK, that's more than one question. Thanks, Chris

Bad time for this question...on the eve of a Load 1 convention down that way over the weekend...looks to be about 8 sprinters within 200 miles of you down there....all up the I65 corridor....going north isn't an option really...Atlanta would be my choice...
