IDK, I usually run into technical glitches and issues with most everything.
But, after running EO every way possible on Apple, Android, and Desktop, No complaints here.
A minor learning curve on the new website design, but nothing to lose me head over ;)

Watching Weekend at Bernies....always good for a few laughs....lol..

Enjoying the 70 degree weather while keeping an eye on the radar. A bunch of ugliness just brushing by me.

Found a great self serve wash and scrubbed the van. Paperwork done, laundry tomorrow. Another nice workweek completed.

Passing through Las Vegas tonight. I sure hope all the other vans at the Pilot are passing through also or else they are waiting for spring.
BUT I found the correlation between making money Expediting and gambling. I left the Casino with $150 in my pocket! Of course, I went in with $200.

You left the casino and still had money? You ARE a winner.

When I used to run out west all the time, I only took my Drivers License, and $40.00 into a casino. I've seen too many guys sitting outside crying like a baby weeping how "they lost it all". Not me. I believe it's all a matter of fate, just like winning the lottery.

Yup, idiots abound in LV. I always only play with money that won't break my heart if it's gone, of course winning is more "funner" still

So, last week turned into song lyrics - "what a long strange trip it's been". Arrived in El Paso last Sunday, drop closed so nice added layover pay. Monday through Thursday nothing (unless .50 to .60 excited you). Never seen EP so bad. Then Friday my favorite magician pulled us a nice boquet of flowers out of he's hat. A 6 stop trip that began in EP, wandered through southern California and up to Vegas (all picks of 100#) with delivery tomorrow morning in Denver. 2000+ ALL paid at very good rate. So kids, that's how the WornOuts week was saved

After the TONU, it took until Wednesday to get out of NC . Almost got into a fist fight with another guy in the TV room because he couldn’t stand the idea of any channel except Fox News. I actually prefer Fox, but after two days, need a break.

Wednesday into Thursday: NC to Moline IL. Thursday night: well paying shortie to Decatur, IL. Friday into Saturday: our first trip up into Da Yoop (Negaunee, MI). Saturday morning found us heading back towards “civilization”, ie Green Bay.

The cold must have affected Nancy because she accepted a run from Green Bay back to the South , so now we sit in Latta, SC, hoping it’ll be easier to get out of the Other Carolina.

Good news is, it’s 80*

Afternoon gang! Long time no post
Mark kinda dragged me out with his buck a mile comment and got me thinking.
10 yrs ago or so some were saying a buck was also good. Fast forward 10 yrs and buck a mile is still good? Considering a 2.4 % rise in cost of living per year X 10 yrs you all should he aiming for $1.25 -1.40 a mile at the least ... anything less then a buck is poverty wages and a waste of time. Right?
I still have a good supply of stir sticks and think I’ve done my duty!

On the personal side
JuJu got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last year and is in treatment.
Myself a PT job as an Assistant store manage at Family Dollar in Hettinger just to stay even with all the copays we have for chemo and ct scans!
I do NOT miss the road ... guess it was my time to retreat!
Sprinter is still running good I use it to commute to work sometimes.

Also Dave AKA Guido good to see you still around.
