They'll probably buy the materials from Mexico and contract the labor to an American company that uses illegals for the labor.

And we got that long load. Back to Laredo we go.

Making our deliveries this morning. One more long load would make this a good week.

Got a load to SC and NC. Two stop delivery.

CedarMike, are you in an E unit?

Had three offers so far today. Didn't get any of them. Can't go south as we are in Laredo.

Empty in Laredo.

That's what I came up with. And it's not too bad a rate considering what surface straight trucks are running for nowadays.

Back in service in Jackson, GA. Had a great vacation at home with my wife and daughter. Now ready to go and make some $$$.
