Jeremy or Jim, kick butt load. The back is filled to the seams, so got a room.

Wife just landed in Baltimore. It was 85 in Calif. when she left. 33 in Bmore. Told her to buy a coat at one of the gift shops to get to the car. *l*

Had a good week, 2nd week in a row, hoping for 1 more load out of here, in Laredo, told Jeremy to drop my pay to make it happen.Del Rio, to Kansas City, Springfield, Mo, back to Laredo, was this week so far.I have alot to do before it starts getting cold.Gotta avoid idling the van at all costs, it costs too much to do that.Have an opportunity to get an espar heater, so I'll need to get it home so I can put this in, this will pay for itself over this winter alone.Alot of debts and bills getting paid, will be alot easier as time goes on, thank God! This all could not of even happened if I was at another carrier, I can guarantee this! So thankful!

Joe came thru with 1200 mile load. 3 times in 3 weeks was in KC and all 3 times Joe or Frankie came thru. Guess KC ain't such a bad place to go anymore.

Sitting outside of Nashville. Had a dry run yesterday, which was actually the load that was going to turn the week around. Hoping that next week turns around for us. Glad to see that things are picking up for everyone.

You probably don't wanna put the money in your old van, but the Espar with the digital thermostat is great. The other night it was 30 outside, a comfy 74 inside. Quiet, efficient and out of the way.

Even though I have the partition and it has the blow insulation on it, I get condensation on the glass up front. I have the insulated window coverings waiting for me at home. Hope that helps some. Takes a while for the defrosters to clear them.
