It's not so much the sucking your last dime it's more of I just wanna be home every night. See my friends, go out on the town etc is outweighing my want to see the country. I've now seen every state east of the Mississippi minus 3. Biggest difference is roads in northern and or poor states suck.
Glad I didn't stress about getting all the leaves up before the snow hit. I think they are in Canada now
Picked up a load 1.2 miles from home. Heading for Flora, IL.
Turned down Laredo load, as I didn't wish to spend my thanksgiving in Laredo. .

Ishipforexcellence, did you get that Laredo loae? You mentioned earlier heading to chicago
Was home all last weekend. Took a Monday morning load from Waukesha WI to Alexandria MN. Now a load from MN back to Pewaukee WI. That's way too close to home to risk going back out. Guess I'll start my long weekend tonight. Back in service next Monday. This gives me time to get new tires, shocks, alignment and a new heater blower motor. Guess I'll be working even while I'm off!
I'm hoping to buy the Winning Mega Million Lottery ticket later Today.....
Don't hope, ya need to plan.
Heading out onto Lake Erie just after dawn. We have one of our "celebrity" hunts today so we are going to have to behave for a change. (just a little bit, can't get TOO far off the norm!) Winds should be out of the ENE and light. This is a very abnormal wind for the area and can be dangerous, but if they remain light it can be a really good hunt. We had this wind direction and speed when we did the Gander Mountain TV show and we did VERY well those days.

Well OOS and getting maint stuff done to the van as usual. Oil change and rear end fluid change as well. Tires balance and rotated and also front end alignment. Wishing I was in service, seems like things are still moving a good bit. Hope everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving!
mr.kickstarter I was in the business 15yrs I left just before labor day and been happy ever since
being home everynight sleeping in my own bed has been great I enjoyed doing loads for Load1
but I came to the conclusion my passion-desire for this business was gone I lost the passion for expediting
plus as soon as I left home I could not wait to get back so I made the change and I am very thankful for my job I have now and
having a normal life
just one person's opinion......
