Got my home run today. This being my third week on the road, and only 250 miles from home, I wanted to go home this evening with or without a load. But I gave Murray till 6 to work his magic before I bailed. Lo and behold, around 4 he found me a run that will leave me 100 miles from home tomorrow morning and $250 richer.
I might do some shorties next week, but I can just as well pull the plug on this year already.
Thanks Murray and Sally for working hard to make this end of the year great.

Sitting at the J in Dallas. 9 van sitting here. Looks as if i will be sitting here til tomorrow. Never fails. But good note, my van is up and running smoothly. Had to replace the Harmonic Balancer. The mechanics said good thing I stopped when i did. I was being held on by just the belts.

I'm in Dallas too, waiting at the south side ballroom for Daughtry to finish their concert so I can take the equipment to Houston for the next show tomorrow. Then on to San Antonio, my favorite city in Texas.

Rock on... took Daughtry's equipment from Jersey to Dallas once. I miss the band runs.

It's funny, I show up in my 24ft truck, and the equipment I am taking would have fit in a mini van. Oh well, good paying load.

Originally picked up the equipment at the house of blues in downtown Disney.

mp logistics in Saint Charles will take care of you. They'll keep your dh to minimal. You gonna have to sit and actually give them time to find a load.

Also they require 2mil commercial liability with 100k cargo. The reason I don't run for them.

Thanks man. I appreciate it but I'm going to give CTX a go and see how it turns out.

Thanks Chip!! As you (all) know, the narrower the target area, the more difficult the shot. But it brings us great joy when it falls into place! And yes, maybe we can snag a few minis for you once you're up at the house.
Thanks for your hard work from both of us!!
