It's like a Day Spa for your butt.

If you are local or in the yard, lunch is served and it is good!

So, I've been catching up on some of the safety videos. I've got a problem with one of the tests though.

The question: "Your sitting at the Load One yard and you see OVM walking across the lot toward the office, what do you do?"

Answer choices:

A. Throw eggs at him.

B. Chase him around the lot with your truck.

C. Alert the office staff.

D. Jump out, shake his hand, offer to buy breakfast at Isis.



I'm really having trouble choosing between three of them.

Mornin', everyone! Jeremy gave me a nice double load on Sat, so it finished up the week pretty nicely.Rates were sweet,nice, relaxed load,13.5 mpg coming down,etc..In Louisville, hoping they work magic and move us all out in a respectable time frame, but, I may have to move to a better place in awhile,we'll see...

Chef, if youre still here, we are at the Pilot in Simpsonville, Cuz and I.Parked behind it,on a side street.

All classes?

Seems to be. Detroit is moving well. Chicago seems to be the biggest soft spot of the day for small trucks. More freight than we had trucks for on dock high.

Solid overall numbers. Especially considering that we just came off the end of the month. Hopefully this 2 week improving trend will continue.

Not sure to be honest. Dock high is really busy over there. Their are lot of "independent" typed carriers over there. Not honestly sure what the issue is.
