Boooooooooooooo. Although in the world of logistics and planning.....July?
I was trying to get home for the last holiday week, with plenty of notice given, so i could do all of this back than, but with plenty of destination cities around me given, I wasn't thinking getting home would of been too difficult. But, during that time, the loads were going the opposite way from home...lol..so I gave up on that be coming a reality and just ran the loads. So, one more day of work on the van, putting things away, replacing the plywood on the floor, and it should be good to go..although not 100% perfect, I am pleased with how the paint came out. Need to get the new decals and graphics on the van also.

Parked in the sun, no shade trees around this flying J (sad)

May as well be parked on mars, instead of in Ohio, only 170 miles from Taylor....... no calls at all yet, not even the fleeting hope of a possible bid load (depressed)

Come on.........dispatch!

Your wishing way to hard for a load offer on a Saturday. Go do something, it will improve your chances of getting a phone call.

I went ahead and took a hike today, not expecting to hear anything on a Saturday, and sure enough I got a call from dispatch that I missed cuz I had no signal in the woods. You could sit all day staring at your phone and nothing happens. Get away for a few minutes without the phone and that is when they call.

Does seem like the golden rule...pay for a room or buy movie tickets and bam...load call.

I was in Duncan, SC. Went over through Clemson and picked up a load in Westminster Saturday afternoon going to Hebron, KY Monday morning.

It pays uncharacteristically well. It pays almost enough to have to deal with US 23 up through Clayton, GA and those 2 lane curvy mountain roads for 100 miles over to Waynesville and then immediately into the gorge on I-40.

The biggest tourist attraction in Clayton (population 2024) is probably Billy Redden, who used to be a cook and dishwasher (and part owner) at the Cookie Jar Cafe, but who now works at Walmart. He's the guy who played the young banjo player in Deliverance. Contrary to popular belief, he is neither inbred nor stupid.

Hopefully you get a load. But, if not, just north of you is Lake Erie with some nice beaches, and Geneva On The Lake to the west along the lake, with plenty to do. Google it.
