Freight is real up and down. Monday was best revenue day since Jan1. Yesterday was the lowest????? Today is looking better at this point. Some times this business will make you crazy if you let it.

I think what you are seeing is the new reality of expediting....no rhyme or reason...no real set patterns...except maybe end of month/end of quarter...after that it is a free for all...

So, the shoulder is taken care of. It was a bit messy, but the doc seems to think all will be well soon.

In other news, apparently, I have a cold AND the flu. I've got lots of drugs now too....lol. I knew I had the cold, didnt have a clue that I had the flu though. He says I'll likely know it in a day or two...lol :(

Load that I picked up turned into a very hot, very direct drive load... Crossing with Guido and he'll take it to Laredo

What caused it Kenny?
I'm blaming it on John Elliot :D

I did ask...he didn't speculate much on it. The cyst is kinda common. Idiots that don't go directly to the doctor and get treated...even when we have insurance to cover it.... well, we're kinda special! :D

Yes, Rocket, we are!! Had one that grew on my chest just left of my heart. Never did anything about it for a few years.

In my defense, several docs saw it and said it was nothing to worry about. Until it became inflamed. Chest xray showed it grew around a piece of steel. Then, it was a big deal.

Long story short, I was on the table for an hour, awake, while they removed it. Sucker had more tentacles than an octopus, and the docs had some words that they didn't learn in med school.

Moral? Don't wait to deal with it. Glad yours worked out well.

Sounds a lot like mine...even the location... No steel that I know of though.

We'll see. I'm going back tomorrow for a checkup and bandage prep. If I can remember I'll ask...but I don't think he actually removed the cyst yet. Its my understanding that they do that after they get rid of the infection? He did dig around for a while though...lol. I asked once if he had found my spinal chord yet. Apparently doctors don't get my humor either? :D

The infection was in the cyst. They packed it with medication and put me on meds. Removed the packing and closed it a few days later. Nice big scar to add to my collection. :D
