Same temp as here...how bout that...:)

2 flying pilots with ALL of their showers down for remodeling...How nice...at the rodgers T/A, where I took one...so well worth the 12 bucks! Fluffly towels, bath mat made of towel material, not that paper that comes apart and sticks to youre feet in a zillion pieces..lol..Even a shower head that works nice! And, wait a minute!! A shelf in the shower! Wow! No more putting my soap and shampoo and back brush on the floor this time!! lol...

So I am out walking the dog, and another expeditor sticks his head in my van while I am like 100 feet away and is looking around inside my van ....so I yell at him, and he just walks away....what is with people these days?? Geez!! Now I fully understand the concept of parking at a Wal-Mart...Please, God, bless me with a load, and quick!!

I know, where's the cheese!!!!

Delivered last Friday, moved on Monday, was moving today when a short load came up. First one this week.

In Albuquerque.....actually had a load offer just before I got here...guess we didnt get it.

If I can pull one more load off this week, will likely be my best week so far and a real good week.

From my observations there doesn't seem to any real peak seasons anymore...less then 5 yrs ago at this time we would be begging for sleep time and were running wild....the last 2 years things seemed to change...it is more like run for a few weeks and then slowdown....more peaks and valleys then anything consistent...the ones who get fortunate and be in the right spot , right time...great for them.....others not so good...and it appears sometimes it is me sitting one time and then my turn to get lucky...and then the next driver or 2....
Guess what I mean is there used to definitive busy times and slow times....now it is more consistent....maybe that is a good thing on one hand...
