Good morning gang...should be last day of gravel shoving and raking...Ready for the trailers this weekend!
Got 1 of my new eyeballs installed....gee whiz...while they are close to exact same thing, they just don't pop into place without a little subtle change..the next one should go smoother now I know the tricks...Makes the van look better for sure..Can't wait to get out into the dark with them....

Then i get a few phone calls wanting my eta to my "pre-dispatched load that had the same pu time as my drop time....its only 22 miles , ill be there in a half hour..lol..another call has I pull in the drive...walk in to see the dock supervisor and get my freight....nope, "its still in the trailer"...give me 30-60 minutes...
So...i was on time at both places... i was held up to the tune of 2 .5 hours total...guess who will be late for his delivey....in Lafayette La....

Anyone know how the driver of the TT is that turned over this morning in MI?
Didn't catch where but it was on Fox2 news.

I dont have a clock...is it 8:00 yet?
Load cancelled yesterday, so hoping for something out of Laredo today. Yesterdays load went to Arlington. I would prefer something different but I wouldnt turn it down if they send me back over for the same one.
Hope everyone is running hard
Steve.... there was still water in the river.

It was at the m14-275n interchange. It shut down the 275 ramp. It was quite the mess in 8am traffic.

What I "heard" was the driver was shaken up but is doing fine. Of course this was 3rd party info. I hope all is well.

I said...ME? he said..you have a brain right? Use it! figure it out.....Holy crap! Anyways after some practice, got better at it...gravel is all done and spread....phew....
