Way to go Bill. I wouldn't mind a Laredo load right now. We got a bit of snow and it is going to be cold for the next day or two. I could spend a fee days sitting in Laredo.

Hoping not a few days. The CRE team is already looking for a load out for Monday.

Well I'm empty in Laredo. Hoping for a load out today. Meanwhile it's breakfast buffet time at the TA. And gas is reasonable down here.

 

[billg27]

And after 3 weeks off I'm feeling adventurous. I think I'll go anywhere right now. It feels great to be back out here on the road. Got enough supplies to stay out a while.

Ready to get back on the road!!!
Hoping the Load God & Goddess can find us a good load out of Missouri today!!!

Yeah, pretty wide swath this one is dropping.

 

[OntarioVanMan]

probably more loads available to the effected areas as I am sure there is more then me that can read.....LOL

 

[Murraycroexp]

yeah, and now it looks like the "freeze-protect" loads are getting more prevalent. Espar is a leg up!

Didn't know those existed... I guess we could leave the bulkhead door open while in transit to keep the cargo area heated... But wouldn't want to with a layover involved... That would be rough without an espar...

We are at home in Missouri, can't seem to get anyone to turn one loose to us for a decent rate...

 

[OntarioVanMan]

Got the call Tuesday morning. Laredo to Evansville IN. Picked up at 13:00 and heading up there. 07:00 Thursday delivery. I could beat that by 24 hours if I really wanted to. But, if rather get some sleep tonight and just deliver 16-17 hours early.

Dropped my Laredo load at 08:00 Monday morning, got this load booked at 08:00 Tuesday morning. Good job team CRE!

Sweet.....

 

[billg27]

Got another load to Evansville IN. Same place I dropped at on Thursday. Guess I'm spending the night at that J again. Hopefully not the whole weekend there.

 

[billg27]

Wow! A Saturday load that delivers direct to Strongsville OH. Van is stuffed full. 3 large tall pallets @ 2,300#. Have I mentioned that I'm loving my new Transit. More comfort and more load opportunities.
