Sittin in Laredo with 1 other CV and 2 Sprinters..have no idea where they are, but they show on the Macro 19....I am #2 for the CV, but ahead of both Sprinters...Thinkin of moving north, not sure yet where, but while I'll drive in the messsy weather, but I am really not interested in moving to sit in it...oh well we will see how it goes today here and make a decision from there later today...
Both my loads came out up by San Ant. and Eagle Pass is not too far away...if ya wanna play closest truck...

Yes the decision to stay certainly paid off! I want to thank john and Load 1 for the integrity you show with these kind of runs...this would have been a mini with anyone else...but yhis company shows it true colors daily in more ways then most companies can only hope to do...
Thanks John, Load 1 and Joe.....

SO TRUE. Jeremy called me Sunday afternoon he was having trouble getting 2 loads covered. So I covered them for him. Pick up in Romulus deliver to Romulus 3 miles away. Pick up again in Romulus 4 miles away deliver to Lansing 87 miles away. While unloading in Lansing Caryn called me with a pick up in Grand Rapids going back to Wixom MI. So I had roughly 345 miles that day including deadhead to the load and back home after the last drop. I was paid over $2.00 a mile for all miles.
I love doing the shortys for them especially if they can stack em up on ya. I can clean up on those and sleep at home that night.
went out and played with the snowblower for a couple hours...beauty day here today..
tomorrow...oil change.
