A few years ago we were camping Easter weekend, and our friend hit a white rabbit as she was leaving the campground. It was the Easter bunny
Oh no...now I've got the image of a crumpled bunny and eggs scattered everywhere!
:whistle:...

Did a local Monday then one to Spartansburg SC. Then Duncan SC to Grand Island NE. Pre planned out of NE to MT. Vernon IN unloaded there this morning now sitting in Evansville IN awaiting our next load!
Turned out to be a decent week thanks dispatch.

Have been hustling and bustling trying to shake hands, kiss babies, and add freight. I think this Japan thing has really had an effect on freight volumes. With a lot of Toyota plants and a few others shut down and the big 3 slowing production to conserve parts. This really has changed the supply/demand ratio. Demand drops down while making a whole lot of extra trucks suddenly available. Good news is we have not lost any accounts or anything bad like that. Just everyone is slow right now. A lot of them are predicting more normal levels following Easter. Let's hope.
I assure everyone we are doing EVERYTHING we can. We are interviewing for additional operations and sales people so we have even more hands on deck working for you guys everyday. If you know any good dispatchers or sales people let me know.
This time is actually a couple days away with the family for my 10 year old's spring break and easter with my family.
I actually say it like that as a joke very often. Only about 10 percent of people catch it, LOL.

You too PoP.......lol
Glad to see you do this!! You have to take the time to make memories or you end up without them. Life has no "rewind" button, so just push "record" and enjoy.
Happy Easter!!!

Dispatch is awesome! We dropped in Tallmadge, OH and hoped for anothr small run to get us just a bit closer to home,b ut ddn't expect it. We were actually just pulling out of the parking lot of the drop off to head for fuel then start working toward home, when Mike in dispatch called.
He has a load for us picking up in Fredricksburg, Oh dropping in Bellsville, MI, putting us about 70 miles from home.
So we don't haveto pay to drive home after all. Thanks dispatch.
We get to go home and play Easter Bunny to the grandbabies! Can't to see them, it has been 2 months! The babies, have cut teeth, and starting to crawl already. Youngest baby getting baptised on May 1st. Time for some family time.
Thanks again.

6 days since last unloaded.Still waiting...Oh God, how patient I am trying to be..really..I know everybody is trying their best to get me loaded..I think God is testing me here..lol..The bad thing is, it is so hot down here, and as much as I hate the heat, I really cant do anything on the van without being bathed in sweat..which I hate, unless I am at home.Time will only tell..Even through all of this, I still have the upmost faith in God and Load One.Such a peaceful, easy feeling.
