Wish I were there...man that would be great to put it to the test....

I wish you were here too dear...got a drift on the deck right in front of the door and can't see the sidewalk and it looks like it's drifted over the road again...

You should be getting the tail end of this storm in the form of rain..Sioux Falls looks to be getting the mix of ice and snow so I'm guessing I90 is a mess.

Hey Guido, don't beat yourself up too bad...I have felt the same way far sitting all weekend and on a monday only to have dispatch kick my butt the rest of the week and pile on the runs!!

I was telling Ken the other day, the one thing that messes with your head is when you only put $1000-$1200 in the bank for a week!!!! LOL, we have gotten use to some really great weeks that when we see those "smaller weekes that would have been great at our old carriers, we think about it for about a minute..the realize that its all good and we are leased to one of the best companies and owners...and dispatch is huslin freight where they can to keep us movin...

speaking of moving freight...Monday PU in Wixom , deliver to Chystal Lake Ill, eat dinner, then run the return back to Wixom...:)

Great start to the week....:)

The road show stopped here about 2130. Scott has the van, Todd on his way to his drop.

The Road Show is officially in the history books. At least they didn't kill each other.

All's well that ends well then. The snow stopped sometime over night and I woke up to a herd of deer, 14-15 up in my tree line...they're fun to watch. Some of them are kicking up the snow looking for grass and some are bedding down for the morning sun.
