What in the WORLD is going on in Detroit? 400 units? I didn't even bother counting the vans.

Ky to Roseville, Mi. After the shock wore off from just seeing 400 units in the D, I DH'ed 100 miles to Lansing. Now at the J in Gd Ledge. Four vans/Sprinters here, including myself. Told dispatch "do NOT send me back to Detroit".
Nobody can get out. The roads are crumbling right under us.:mad: :rage::sour::dash2:

Detroit, the city best known for automobiles, "The Automobile Capitol of the World," has like, the worst roads, ever.

Wichita, "The Air Capitol of the World," has some of the best roads in America. crazy_pilot

It's been like that for several months around there.

After going from Victoria, TX to Erwin, TN to pick up a van for my fleet owner, (1600 miles with a 4 hour stop in Birmingham) was offered NC to Mishawaka, IN...wanted to take it but knew it wasn't safe for me to run it. Turned it down and went OOS to be fair. Parked in London, KY...Be home in the morning.

Good luck on your move my brother Mailer. How is everyone doing today? I have been down in the dumps for four straight days now. I literally feel like an 80 year old man. All of my vitals are normal. Even my blood sugar is in the mid 80's. I can't figure out why I have a constant headache, messed up bowels/stomach, dizziness, chest pain, and I am so lethargic. I hope I can get it together for another day of dispatching. If not, I'm going to have to take the entire day off and prepare for my appointment with the pain management doctor today. Then I get to be grilled and treated like a drug addict by my pharmacist when I bring in my new prescription for pain medication. Having a bunch of medical problems is the complete opposite of the care free life I once lived as an expediter. I am tied to two doctor appointments per month, and anywhere between two to four trips to the lab to get my blood checked. I have to coordinate all of this stuff. Sometimes it feels like a darn full time job. I would trade places with any of you guys at the drop of a hat. Any how, I hope everyone has a prosperous week this week!

Went to sleep with the rain falling and it's still raining. It was one of those mornings that I wanted to stay in my nice warm snuggly bed, but the lure of coffee made my feet hit the floor. Think I'll just put the coffee pot next to the bed and avoid this dilemma!!!

GOOD MORNING ALL!
Diabetes is an Autoimmune Disease. It often runs hand in hand with either Hypo or Hyperthyroidism. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone TSH controls the METABOLISM of every ORGAN in your Body.
My opinion, it should be a Test all people have by or before age 30. Highly Familial, like Diabetes.
If you are, you may find improvements to where your Pancreas, heart, blood pressure improves and Meds are lessened.
You will ask your Doc to Draw one small vial of ALL 3 of these:
TSH, FREE T3 and FREE T4. If you are feeling Sluggish you're most likely Hypo...aka Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroididtis, also aka Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
Just an FYI. Early greying hair is a visible sign.
Good Luck to feeling better!
