Hope I don't run run anyones tail when I pull in this morning...

OVM, when I was with Con-Way I pulled several loads from a metal stamping company in Rogers (just down the service road from the T/A) for Express 1. All loads went to a major hospital bed manufacturer in Kalamazoo. You guys still doing that gig?

At the Petro in Bordentown. Delivered yesterday morning from Toronto, got a run going to Pittsburgh last evening, then it cancelled. Going to Austin tomorrow with a heavy load. Way to round out the month.

I don't know...I'll have to do some snooping.

I don't usually come to Minni when coming back in service...I take 20 to 12 in Mobridge..then straight across...its a shorter DH that way....But my habit is to go to AL Lea....I get out of both places...

Yea, tha was too bad.Were you in the Sprinter? I was in the Ford with the two blue stripes running down the sides, bumper guides.Got a load at 11 from Baraboo, WI to Salisbury, NC. Hoping to get another load before the week ends.So far, this week has worked out pretty well.

Tomorrow never comes right.

I called the place that "fixed" it Tues he said he would have a new compressor and clutch assembly here tomorrow (Wed). They didn't show up he said he'd have it tomorrow (now today). It did not show up again. It is supposed to be here at 10am tomorrow (Fri) I hope so cause I have a load booked to Tulsa tomorrow and I have to leave by 3 pm central (with or without ac)

See my blog link for the full story of the AC blues.

Yup, that was me.

Ahhh - so that was you.

Nice run.

Yeah, me too - I'm the only van/Sprinter with my carrier within 200 miles, so I was hoping to score another load today .... but it's getting kinda late ..... tomorrow will be fine however ... it's been a decent week so far.

Sounds like you have the market cornered.I slept through a load offer 1 hour after I unloaded.I saw a sprinter with all kids of chicken lights on it last night, so that gave me an idea to light mine up. I have a box of 100 led's that I never put on my s/t.would a set of air horns on the roof be going too far? lol.
