Indeed my friend! f4ftrucker where did ya delivered ?:cool:



About to run some more today then van goes to the shop for a week.



Anyway drove @ 25-40 mph last night between toledo and chicago...The wind was so bad with all the snow blowing. I don't see how these tractor trailers are flying past us like 60 mph in that kind of weather. Oh wait that's probably why there were lots of them in the ditches?

Thankfully I have avoided that terrible pile up outside of pittsburgh, while on the way to MD. 18 cars, 2 dead, 30 injured. Never underestimate the mother nature.

Whenever I go home to Allentown, I always ran I-80. But I'm not fond of driving through the mountains. I've been caught in those white out conditions around Horseshoe, PA.
This last time I went east (November) I took the PA turnpike and was impressed.....not so mountainous.

Shaping up as no freight Friday. As soon as coffee pot is empty it looks likely its another empty trip home again.

Ya never really know, I was just getting ready to start the fireplace and pour me bourbon when the phone rang!

Your correct... I got about 45/miles north and got a really nice paying load offer.. But I have a Ducks Unlimited event in the morning and couldn't take the chance of getting hung up out here.

Geeeeez I'm gonna get spanked with another refusal even after I told them twice I cant do it. Second one was going deeper. But I guess that shows the work is there and that's a good thing
