Came back to Pontoon Beach, I'll in order to be at a J. Called dispatch and witch would be better to go 22 miles west of where we ere in Missouri or 45 miles east to the Il. We were told better to leave Missouri. So we did. We got here did a Macro19 and find that we are #2 here. So we will wait at least till tomorrow.

Hey shadow...I've still got an ample supply if you want some? The only thing I ask is to get the jars back. :)


LOL Just have Ken keep an extra jar for me. Yes I will even ship the jar back to you if I have too!!!!!! Ken and I have only crossed paths 1 time. That was in the yard and he was sleeping in the middle of the night.

Very generous of you JUJU Thanks!

Just dispatched on a pickup for the morning headed to GM IN KC,KS That area has been decent to us lately and I hope the luck continues! I think it was the week before last I was there on a Friday picked up and dropped in Frederick MD on Saturday from there to Dallas Tx for a Sunday night drop that didnt drop until Monday........lol Consignee changed hours after we were underload.... NO biggie

Still in Tn, had to go out of service this morning to get the van looked at...ended up being the alignment was way out of whack..imagine that, after getting it done last week in Detroit..last time for those guys.Everything else is perfect, they said.So nice to drive it now without fighting with it to keep it straight..Hoping for a good week, God, how I need it.

Sitting at the Petro outside of Birmingham, AL. Dropped yesterday morning in Cottondale. Had 2 goodoffers in the past 24 hours, but unfortunately didn't go thru. First one was going to Corpus Christi, second going to the east side of SD. Both over 1100 miles that payed good. Hoping our luck changes and the next good one sticks. At least we know that dispatch is looking for loads.

Picking up in Bridgeton, MO will be dropping in DC tomorrow afternoon. That should be difficult to get out of tomorrow, but dispatch will work miracles as always.

Well,I thought helping with the local/short one's(25 miles) didn't change my position in line,but I guess that wasn't right........went from no.#1 to #12.

Was at the yard scene Saturday....now in Livonia.

Still in Nashville...Enjoying the nice weather we had today.Washed the van, waxed it with cleaner,then carnuba wax,tire shine on the tires,cleaned out the inside,cleaned the windows, painted the wheel wells,trailer hitch,put the bolts and pulley on the new vacuum pump,checked all the fluids, greased the grease fittings...getting bored here...

They did make good and corrected the heavy load pay, and apologized so much I now feel guilty...lol..These people are so nice and courteous.I love it here!!

Why is it when Ken is in service I am slow? lol..Then when he is home, I have awesome weeks?? In other words, GO HOME!! lmao..Funny how things tend to work..

Make sure you call dispatch and remind them of that. The position on the qualcomm's is an automatic system generated thing not always 100%.

Almost 48 hours sitting down here in Birmingham area. Joe called wanting us to move to Atlanta. Just kind of sucks that this week will not produce much for us, since we have to be home this weekend to do taxes. Usually when we are sitting here we get right out.
