Still#1 in my area, since Wednesday of last week...I know July is a traditionally slow month, but this slow?..The time waiting was put to good use, did everything that I could do to the van that I have been wanting to do since I got it..Not much left to do until the money starts to roll in,and even then, it will be catch up fer awile.Dispatch suggests I head to the yard tonight if nothing happens by then..

JuJu is in the tornado room as I type!!



Phew bit the bullet there....


Nothing scarier than knowing you're in the direct path of a tornado and looking up out those tiny basement windows..and then...NOA weather radio says the coast is clear! But better now than in the middle of the night!..Sis and cousins are safe too..thanks honey...for watching the internet for me! {{{HUGS}}}

Wow, glad everyone and everything is ok. I'll bet that was scary.

not a more feeling of helplessness being 1,000 miles from home ...:(

I know babe..it's like knowing what you're going to run into and I sit here and watch and pray for your safety. It's tough!

Thanks Ron...I guess mother nature figured out that I needed to enjoy that kitchen that we're just putting the finishing touches on..*LOL*

Tracy is delivering in Indy in the morning. They only take deliveries from 6:30am - 2:30pm. He got the at 6:30pm last night. So he is parked in there dock waiting for the receiving dept. to open in morning. Had 4 loads last week, spent week end in Wisconsin. Hopefully gets 4 loads again this week.

We hope to be able to go to Expo, we will see. Not going to turn down a load.

Yesterday picked up in Anderson IN to Dexter MO. Didn't make it out of Indiana before dispatch called with a pick up in Dexter for this morning going to Dayton. Waiting on them to get that one ready, guess production is running a little behind. Have lots of time on the delivery so it isn't a problem.

lol i wish it was that easy. it has to be inspected here to make sure it's legal (running lights, km on speedo, crap like that) and then more waiting for ppwk from agency before i can get ownership swapped. Oh, they also require a letter from mfr showing no outstanding recalls, GM charges $270 to provide this! uhhh no thanks i went to a dealer and had them print it out and faxed it in myself. i also almost got the cavity search at the border when a friendly female agent gave me the raised hand to stop talking when i asked her something. i guess she didn't like my reply to her...:p
