Yep, that is why I am resting up now, if I can get by DC and Baltimore before 5pm I should be good...its in reality 15 hours and have 20 hours to do it and have up until about 11 am to sleep

Go I-81, less traffic than I-95 through DC

Don't forget I-85 closed in Atlanta. Traffic has been terrible all week!!! Backed up everywhere. Hopefully wherever you are delivering is around the loop and not downtown.

Weeks off gives lots of time for contemplation. Was having a discussion about O/O stuff with an expediter friend. He'd be happy to take 30% of the gross as an indirect and have nothing to do with worrying about the truck or loads. My point is I need to be so in control I left my last position instantly when I was asked to do 1 thing I didn't want to. Can't understand why some people seem to be happy being told what to do and where to do it. Was wandering around doing nothing, bugging the wife...she said why don't you build the shed it needs to be done.

As I happily went outside with something to do, it hit me...:p

To all still using a computer

Why?

If I can't use my phone I don't want it. From freight to receipts to accounting its in my phone. If I run over my phone, all my stuff is backed up in the cloud.

I do have a laptop, but the last time I turned it on Windows 10 was updating for 2 hours so I turned it off

Lucky. So much updating on a PC I never got any work done and was too frustrated to use it

On that note, last call for the 2003 CNG ram van people, if it starts today I'm driving it to the scrap yard. Started every other time over the past couple weeks when I was bored, now that I want to move it....6•C it doesn't like...no room in my life anymore for picky machines
