Not really. I'd do a Steady and burn so fast you couldn't see me but only the smoke.
that has to be about 1600 miles from Flint or so....I couldn't do that....not anymore.....50 -. 60 cents a mile all miles or so?
for me it wouldn't be so much the money ....It would be a health issue....Afib is a real B to deal with now...

I wouldn't do it straight through but I would be home by Fri. morning. Just trying to put a few bucks in my pocket. This would've been icing on the cake especially with the way things have gone for me over the last 3-4 months.

50* and grey looking outside. Feel like going back to bed.

Oh by the way got a load going to Amana Iowa that picks up tomorrow morning and delivers straight through for really good money. Something like $1 mi for all miles. A lot better than the Laredo load.

Think about it though, drop on the 23rd at 0800, get some sleep until 4 ish then get up leave around 5 drive until say around 1-2 then sleep some until morning and continue on and do it again. Maybe not get home by morning but definetly by dinner time.

I'm kinda glad it didn't work out. I don't do them that much anymore. Kinda got out of the groove. I make just as much money if not more now than trying to run the wheels off the truck. Haven't run the numbers for the year yet but the way I feel (body) right now I would say my numbers for the year are going to be up over last year.

Seriously took like 25 try's before I finally got it in the dock. The agreement before with my trainer was you do your best I'll tell you if you are about to hit something. Boy do I wanna get better at backing lol
so was this a test on your trainers part or you had no choice but to blindside?...
