delivered about 4 hrs early.....machine operator was just out of material....until I showed up...LOL....dunno if he was a happy camper or not....the shift leader sure was...

You know he was busting his hump to make sure that he ran out of material so he could have a little time off. Did you check for scratches or end up with a flat tire?

We used to do it at a pallet recycling plant I worked at. You would work twice as hard as normal for an hour just to have those 4 or 5 minutes to yourself.

I won't get loaded until 9-9:30AM so I am hoping that the timing works out well.

I'm currently in another segment and pull an RGN flatbed so I figure after chaining the load I should be good to go. The Big Dig was money well spent, well it was if you like poor construction that kills people. Did they even try to get the tax payer's money back?

I've picked up CV freight in Slidell before, and didn't have to wait long.
