If your delivering to GM ... make sure you have the Dock number or you won't get in ...
Yep, have been there a few times but appreciate you looking out for me. I remember the first time having that info would have helped. Experience tho is the best teacher.

Sitting just south of Nashville awaiting the call...would like a nice long mile run but so would we all right...hope Springs eternal eh?

Did you get your income tax filed on time? Remember, millions of illegal aliens and welfare recipients are depending on you. I wish all taxpayers were as clever as this old guy:
The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.”
“I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, “Okay. Go ahead.”
Grandpa says, “I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”
The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It's a bet.” Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, “Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
“Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
“Are you okay?” the auditor asks.
“Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!”
Don't mess with old people!

Ahh yes order the truck and when it shows up we will start making the parts, betcha I get loaded just under the 2 hour mark.
Same thing here.. Only this was a blow out from yesterday.. They wanted it shipped yesterday according to the guys on the docks. Nothing like waiting a full day to send a truck.
Wait, maybe it took that long to sell the freight 3 or 4 times. (Or try to sell it and finally had to put it on our own trucks)

Wouldn't mind it if it had some miles tied to it, but at 151 miles I'm just losing more than normal
