Seems to be picking up. Longest sitter in our whole system as of right now is 40 hours. Average unit not under a load is currently at 11 hours.

Glad its starting to pick up. I'm coming up on the 28 hour on this go around in the freight lanes.

Such is life. They'll call when they need me.

A little birdie (well, the top birdie actually LOL) told me that I have some really dear friends wondering where I have been.

Health wise the year has not started off very well for me, but since that phone call, I feel not only humble, but very grateful to be a part of the Load 1 family.

Cherie - I am no longer able to foster rescue's :( but Ollie and Peanut keep me well occupied LOL.

Steve - Tony has been in the ST for coming on a year now :p

Thank you all once again :)

Does anyone know how the freight flows vs a AFC or NFC win in the super bowel.

Looking at some, if the super bowl is a close game, that favors the democrats, if a run a way, favors the republicans in a presidential election following a super bowl!

Used to be the stock market was tied to it. But with a 11 right to 10 wrong record, that has been thrown out.

Sorry to hear about the health problems, but glad to hear from you. Keep in touch!!

If you need something when Tony's gone, let me know. As much as I'm at Taylor, it's not that far from you.

Thanks for making the call John.

Hi all, was wondering how everyone else is running. Got to Avon Thursday afternoon then a short one Mon morning to Maryville OH.

Thought by now it would be a little more busy in the freight lanes.

Last week was ok Mon thru Thur.

Oh well, such is life.

Ron I'm back in your neck of the woods. I have been here 3 times in the past 1.5 weeks..... Do you need any of teak wood refinished on the boat?...... Lol

By the way last Tuesday when I was here I loaded right here in Baltimore went to CT. This area has been good to me the past 1.5 weeks!

No, no teak. All plastic and stainless. Bmore can be good. You've been there more than me. I should get you a set of keys! :)

Did you go back to Elkton?

We are coming up on the 36 hour mark ourselves. Joe called at 830 wanting us to move to el paso That is the only thing that bothers us. Wish empty moves could be done a little earlier in the evening, like 5 or so but oh well. Guess we will go here in a bit since we didn't get Anything outta here and this was suppose to be a place we get lots of freight out of according to ? Just a jab, we knew better. don't know why they say these things. I am pretty sure we will get one from el paso tomorrow.

I think the logic behind moving at night is so you can make the move and take your break. Then be available during the day.

Weeeeellllll..... Delivered in Cottondale on Thursday 02/02/2012 10:26 EST, had a dry run on Monday 02/06/2012 15:20 EST which reset the clock, so it's actually 127 hours.

But, just a few minutes ago I got a load out of Birmingham. Going to pick it up now, that way OVM will be up top when he delivers. :D

Sorry, when that happens, dispatch knows about them but I can't see them on my screens. The clock resets when a truck is dispatched, we don't have the ability to over ride or reset it.

Maybe an email from the dispatcher to all the others and a copy for you would solve that problem?

Good morning all. Snowing here in Marysville OH. According to the news this morn, traffic is at a snails pace in Columbus. Close to an 1" expected here. More south of 70. Roads are slick and a lot of fender benders during the morning rush.
