Madison, GA at the TA. Crossing our fingers that Nov will be as good as Oct was.
We're still sitting at the TA in Lodi, OH. Dropped Thursday morning in Detroit. Was 16th out. Moved up to Toledo was 14th out. Moved on up to Lima was 7th out. Sat there a couple days finally moving up to 1 out, E-1 called with a load picking up in IN and bringing back to OH, 72 miles to pickup, 157 miles to delivery. Said it was a recovery and they really needed us to do it. Sounded kind of like the girl was saying "you better do it" so we did the load ending going back to 7th out again and are still sitting. Hmmmm been sitting 6 out of 8 days now? ? ?
Pelican we did over 15,500 in Sept, only did 10,500 in Oct. Sure hope Nov isn't going to be like Oct? ? ? In our experience October has always been one of the best months of the year.

Yesteryear, Our Sept, was ok, nothing to brag about. We've had an awesome June, and Oct. Last year, was about the same, Dec, and Jan are our "killer" months. Much more sitting than running

Yesteryear, we have found that moving west towards Lansing/Grand Rapids area is a more productive move when Detroit area is full of trucks, instead of moving south into Ohio. Or even moving to Ft. Wayne. (Just for future reference.
)
We are at Mrs. Layoutshooters sisters house right now. Had a wonderful home cooked meal. I went fishing, only caught 1, a king mackrel. Mrs. Layoutshooter went to the beach with her mother/sister and niece. Back to work in the morning, taking a load from Miami to Knoxville.

Didn't know anyone went to Kalkaska. I'm right down the road from there.
Still at home thinking about jumping in the game.
Working the "day" job.

Here it is Nov 2nd in the US Customs truck lot at Miami International Airport at 16:50 hrs. Wife just checked the on-board outside thermometer. 113 DEGREES outside!!! Yes, thats right. It aint broken. Others got the same readings. Fall weather, cooler temps outdoors? Yea right. Great topless and T-back bathing suit weather at South Beach today!!! Look reeeal hard at the second photo and tell me is she or isn't she....? LOL
Maybe our heatwave at the lot is from all the jet engines from planes taking off and landing just a few thousand feet away from us. Yes I can see the rivets! Ya gotta love Miami!
