They built a new warehouse outside the fence a few years ago. Back in my LTL days I delivered or attempted to deliver there 2 or 3 times a month. Because I had a beard I wasn't allowed past the guard shack. The freight would get refused and I would return the next day with a redelivery charge tacked on. Depending on how desperate they were for the freight, they would either come out to the street to unload it or refuse again.

For this run, probably worth it. 340 EP to Nogales, 1560 to New Liberty. That's 82% loaded. Assuming Bill got some vig for the DH, it sounds good to me...
You forgot to count the Portland Oregon to El Paso .....
Yeah .....35 cents a mile sounds well worth it .
MY cpm is like .24 so I'd be doing 2 days of driving for .11 a mile...I guess everyone has their opinion on that subject...
Yeah, it's called selling yourself short.

The clean shave is for a tight seal on the face for a breathing air mask or evacuation face mask

Dropped this morning at the yard. Now at Wayne's for shocks, struts, 4 wheel brake job, front transverse spring and fuel filter change. At 540k mi, this work was much needed. Hopefully this will be the last of any major work done on this van for the year. Tired of bleeding money.
Got the sprinter back late this morning. Now at Belle Tire getting a front end alignment and then will
be looking for a load or two to finish the week.
