Think my lucks ran out,you say no such thing as luck.Let's see.Started on the 17th,load to Washington state dry ran.It then was suppose to make the following week.While waiting the week,we decided to do another flatbed load,good thing,the Washington load cancled altogether.Delivered Rhode Island from Georgia,then took Flatbed back to Extra lease in Pittsburgh.This was Friday the 24th.Now we decided to do a load out of Richmond Va area to Dallas Texas.Idea was good at the time,'til finding out 5 others on same load,and with 6 tractors already in Dallas,was going to be a very crowded place.When we got empty,if we decided to stay in Dallas,we would have been 16th tractor,so we took our layover of Houston.Now 2 days in Houston,starting to feel like should of stayed in Dallas.You make your own luck,I just screwed mine

Steve, I do beleive we saw you in on the NW side of Houston yesterday off of the loop. We were in the Tri State sprinter that went past you as you were making a right onto a side street off the service drive.

Wished we had known you were in Houston Steve. We were in Dallas after delivering an engine yesterday and then got shot to Houston today to pick up an engine at the airport. We're taking it to LAX but does'nt have to deliver until Monday morning. We would have treated you two to dinner and visited!

Unfortunately we loaded and left the area. Have'nt seen ya in a while!

On the last day of July, we are sitting at the J in Corfu, NY I would have thought we'd have gotten a load by now.

It IS a GREAT life style, is it not? ONLY the weather will hold us back. That IS a bit shakey. Big thunder storms all over the place today. Sounds like more on tap for tomorrow. Oh well, for us it is a MINOR dissapointment, THEY NEED this rain. Good for them if they get it.

We are spending the night in Carlisle, PA on our way to St. Albens, WV for a Monday morning delivery. It was kind of an "iffy" load since it picked up today in Pennsauken, NJ, and only 479 mile run but it's something I guess. I hate that we have to hold such a short run over the weekend. :(

And it was awful getting out of Philly area today. In 2 hours time we managed to go 18 miles.

got a run to Lansing, Mi in the morning

I delivered in Bay City this morning and came down through Lansing. I was looking for you on I-69 because OVM said you would be heading to the Fort.
