Been really busy working on the house, came very close to buying a new one.
Great to see the Load 1 suggestions come to life, Thanks John

Before and after under van body floor insulation..What a pain!.lol..next is to cover that insulation with the 4x8 sheets of 1/8 thick plastic that I have to protect it from the elements. Little by little, it's getting there!....lol. After Tuesday morning current van inspection appointment, it's time to go back to work and relax for another 3 weeks..

I like the fact that you painted the frame to protect it from rust.

Thanks. . All the grey is Rustbullet, including under the blue painted frame. Rustbullet is pretty serious rust inhibitor that eats the rust, kills it, and suffocates it and seals it in one step. My freind and I had 15 minutes to get it off our skin once it came in contact with us. We forgot about that part. Zylene was supposed to be used within that 15 minute window as well. Well, an hour later, after we got done spaying it, we sat outside...took the safety glasses and respirators off...and looked at each other...

Than the cries of pain began as we tried to peel this stuff off of us, taking skin with it...lol..

When me and my bounty hunter freind were in that much pain, peeling it off, you know that stuff sticks and penetrates...lol

Rustbullet pro plus can only be bought on Amazon and directly from the manufacturer for $100.00 a gallon. Amazing stuff.

I think he's got too much iron in his blood.

Mr. Loyalty. · Oct 12, 2021

Covered the underneath of the van box floor insulation with this 1/8" thick plastic shiny and slippery stuff on one side, satin on the other. Had a exhaust heat shield made to protect it from the heat....time to go back to work....iron in my blood...lol...not so sure about that....lol..

Finally, Got back out this week. Although, I have to be back on Monday for more Doctors and home repair work

Was a great short week, waiting for my take me home load in Cleveland.

At least I have lots of graffiti to look at

Well, my going home load went good, however in route to delivery, I got a call from dispatch that changed my plans

Turned a short week into a great week.
With a possibility of a monster week if I happened to grab 1 more on Friday. If not, I’m very happy how things turned out. Definitely right time & place were aligned with the stars this week

Load one dispatchers are great they always kept me running unless I went out to the dead zones and even then they tried their best.

I have noticed and appreciated how dispatch will pre- book me on loads while on a load. That is nice.

Yes, there are weeks that start out slow, with me just accepting it as it is kinda mindset, not getting upset, or calling dispatch whining....Than, like you, Mr. Roadtime, BOOM! Like winning the lottery, like getting lucky with Shania Twain, the loads start to come in. Such a very unpredictable business.

It's about the money, not the miles. Work smarter, not harder.
