another shorty...Noblesville Ind to Toledo,Oh...home for the night and a stop in the morning to Bolts office for a "shorty" talk.....You need to quit and then re-sign back on all in the same week so's you can get you some more of that noobie juice from the fresh set of decals and new truck number! J/k. It could be worse, you could be a Panther driver!!
Well, i'm just sitting here at home in Los Angeles ejoying being a human for the first time in 9 weeks. I don't even want to see the van until I come back in service. Hope you all are running some miles now that I've taken some time off and freed up some work for the rest of the carriers out there. lol.
I'll I've been doing lately is running like crazy. So thank you.
I have friends at Panther who are starving right now and they are doing everything the way that they are supposed to. It's like with every other company out there "some are feasting on miles while others are starving!" If you are a dispatch favorite you do well "never feel the recession" but if you are not you simply starve. I'm not implying that you are a dispatch favorite; i'm just trying to say that just because one guy is making money it doesn't mean everyone is!
Oh, I'm not. I'm not even a candidate for that list.
Mainly, it's being in the right place at the right time, same as always.
Crap, just got beeped with a load from Richton Park, IL to Lincoln, AL. 692 miles @ 99 cent per. I won't say how may miles I have this week so far, but it started off Sunday and Monday with 1401, and I haven't stopped since. I turned down a good one overnight just so I could sleep.

Finished rebuilding the carburetor for the chainsaw last night so it's running again, today I dropped a couple of 60' poplars, skidded those two, plus another one I already had on the ground, to the back of the property, and then chipped all the brush .....
Now I'm gonna try to go to bed so I can get back on a daytime schedule (neighbors don't seem to much care for the chainsaw or the chipper after 9 PM for some reason ..... can't imagine why ....)

I live in Huntington Beach, which is a more exclusive part of California. We have a very large Republican population out here.
Yup it feels human to have had two showers in the same day, cooked up a lasagna, watched some television, and had a nice nap in a big soft king sized bed.
I don't even want to peek out my bedroom window and look at the van right now. My days here are numbered as I am gonna come back out on the road soon and stay gone until Christmas this time.
I gotta change out my evaporator, orifice tube, get the proper o-rings for my A/C condensor, then take the van down to the mechanic and have the system evacuated and professionally recharged. I did 5 weeks with no A/C and it has pushed me to the limits.
I also gotta have a new radio and speakers put in this week. I've been driving this van for 4 months with a busted radio. Listening to myself think for 13 hours at a time is starting to wear on my sanity!!
As you can see I have a lot of stuff to tend to before I leave the house. But to be human for a few days is definitely priceless.
I can just picture Rlent taking his chanisaw into the Bolt office and saying "you cut my miles in half, now i'm going to cut your desk in half!" lol.
