Dj....you have one THE best drivers in the business to-day...

Honest, responsible, reliable.....If I were an owner I'd try and swoop him from ya....lol

and as far as you are concerned..from what I've seen..IF I were to be a driver I'd have no problem driving for you...you maintain your van in top notch condition and trust Ziggi's judgment completely...:D

Why Thank You OntarioVanMan, A) without a doubt Xiggi is all that you say and more, B) We are so glad we found Load-1, we looked and ran substandard miles for a few years with other companies and now our business is taking a much better turn, thanks to the good folks at Load-1 and John, C) this is a community of true professionals that know and care for each other and in this world and type of business, that is rare, it's the company's atmosphere that does that, so Kudo's again John.

Stayed local the past few days. Had a family emergency to deal with. Today getting service done on the truck and my annual dot inspection out of the way while it's slow. Better to make good use of this slow period and be ready to rock n roll when things pick back up!!!!

LOL,

we thought the same, but one thing led to another and ended up we have been down all week :(

Hopefully, fingers very tightly crossed - we will be all better by this evening and back in service ready to go ANYWHERE ROFL :D

Still in Oak Grove, MO. at the Petro. Truck 3029 just parked next to us also. Called dispatch earlier today about noon, to see if we should move to the St. Louis area. Was told to stay put that there were some bids out there on us. So hopefully something will turn up soon.

This is the roughest part of this job, sitting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

Our radio quit working, it keeps trying to update channels for some reason. We have no subscription to anything. The radio has worked fine until last week. Anytime change from one band to another it wants to update the channels. Hasn't been able to update since being here though. So only entertainment is the CB and that is normally too raunchy to listen to, or our CDs, listened to them all too much already.

Reading the last of our books. Guess we will just have to start argueing with one another for entertainment soon, lol.

Wind keeps rocking the truck around, can stop any time now.
