102 away? Heck, If I was that close, I would of went home first, no matter what day of the week it is.For 2 hours of driving, you could be sleeping in a nice, warm bed, etc, and be at home until something pops up. Just think of the money you may save in the long run by doing this also.
vacationing ...... in Sunny west memphis ... at the Pilot.
anyone care to join me???

We are now at the TA in Florence, KY. Have a AM pickup in Cinci, going to St. Louis. Then, later that evening, picking up in St. Louis headed for Wixom, MI. If all goes well we will take the weekend off at home.

We were conned into taking a five stopper, when we were trying to get home. 7 weeks is a little too long for me to be out. Little ones have missed me for over a month.
Anyways, I accepted a load going from KS to VT. Only after that, I find out it's a 5 stopper! Only after I pickup did I find out one of the stops is in Queens!!! So now, a 1.5 day load is turning into 3. I don't like being lied to (or withheld information, in this case), and have already talked to another company regarding residence for my truck. But I've calmed down from that, FOR NOW.
But ultimately, this has made me realize a lot of things. One of which being that I need to be a father more than I need to be an expediter. I have a feeling I'll be hanging up the OTR keys shortly, and keep my eyes open for something local.
So anyways, sitting at the Bordentown Petro, waiting to deliver the Queens drop in the morning; so we can pu a load 10 miles from our final drop in northern VT. One thing I can say about C&M, they are resourceful... even if they're bastiges!

Good luck my friend. You are correct, being a father is by far the most important thing you can do for your kids. I truly hope you can find something around the area. I know how tough that is right now. Our area is really hurting as you well know.
I will keep my ears open and if I hear of anything I will let you know.

Still sitting at home here in Cali. Just got three of the four pulmber shelves out of my van. The last one has two bolts that are stripped to the floor. I'm going to have to use a grinder to get them up this weekend. Then it is plywood and e-track to be put down and a tune up. Hopefully i'll be ready to rock and roll by the 25th of this month. Then i'm coming out on the road to steal all of your freight!!! That includes TJP, OVM, Cheff, and Guido!!

I'm not going to complain well maybe a little, sitting here south of Portland, OR where we've been since Monday morning. Nice load out here, but dang I hate sitting this long. The upside? The weather is heavenly after last week in Ohio. Temps in the 40's at night, and the 60's during the day.
Now, if the load gods would just speak to me......

Well, good luck to you!! We have seen more "stuff" at those West Memphis Truck Stops that we would rather forget!! Many very strange types hang out there.
By the way, we got a msg today from FedEx warning us about a "strange car" that has been seen at West Memphis truck stops of late. They believe that it may be related to a rash of truck break ins. Be careful when in that area. In all reality, in can be very dangerous.
what does that vehicle look like...Ill kill somebody lol...Beat em to death with my Mag Flash Light lol...Homie Don't play those games lol...
