After a couple days of freezing my butt off in Ipswich, SD I am now sitting at the J in Toledo.....talk about a heat wave. It was -8F when I delivered. I had the heater running full blast and I still could feel the cold air.....I am getting prepared to go home and watch the superbowl. And by the way, "GO COLTS!!!!".:cool: By the way...I wouldn't recomend sitting in the dakotas.....the only thing I got was a cold. Guess that's what I get for being frugal and not gettin a hotel room.

BTW why'd you not stop in the twin cities? I always get loaded out of there.

We made it home ok. I will tell you one thing, dead heading by air is much faster than by truck!! More restful and less expensive. We will be back out to the truck and in service on Monday barring any problems.

There were two vans sitting in Minneapolis...and they were avg 0 a day.....not to mention I have to get my qc board replaced...I am #13 on the Romulus, MI board. Nothing has moved since I got here last night....getting fustrated to say the least. I can still delete my messages and use the read previous button instead of my read next button since it is completely gone. I don't want to lose my position on the Romulus board cause there are 12 vans in Akron, 22 in Chicago......2 in Des Moines, 5 in Davenport, IA.

There's a P2 CV here since I got here yesterday in Walton...must be a little bit of a slowdown for vans or its a straight job week...

Deadheaded down on Monday from Princeton, IN to Clarksville, TN for a load and it went dry run :rolleyes:

Got one out of Paris, TN on Tuesday going up to Dearborn and then was predispatched for one picking up in Oldcastle, ON going to Sturgis, MI - the customer changed the order and asked for a larger truck, so it cancelled (which was fine with me) - instead I picked up one in Milan, MI that went down to Sharonville, OH.

Headed up to Urbana, OH last night to pickup one this morning that I just dropped in Battle Creek. Hanging at Arlene's for the moment ..... maybe I'll catch a nap.
