That's not May Flowers I smell.

Over the last couple of months I've noticed a rather bad smell in my van from time to time. The kind you think something must have died in the van. I already ruled out it was not me :rolleyes:

Today I was doing spring cleaning on the van and removing some winter/unneeded items.
The space between where the passenger seat would be and the dash I use for storage. I have a set of storage draws in place of my passenger seat. Anyways, I get down to the bottom of this area and find a towel that I forgot was even there. It's slightly damp. I remove the towel and find a wood clipboard with notebook paper. The entire clipboard and paper is covered in mold :eek:

I pretty much took care of my windshield leaking problem a while back. But obviously had not checked out the bottom of the pile for some time since everything else on top had been dry. It was an absolutely disgusting sight to see. I'm glad I found the source of the smell, but still totally grossed out by it. Will definitely be changing how, and if, I store items in this area moving forward.

I refrained from posting a picture ;)

My crappy only load offer of the day was from Solon oh to Columbus Ohio 132 miles loaded 8000 lbs 12 skids offer was for 1.15 loaded mile with am delivery this posted at 8 am and I was still being begged to do it although my truck is sitting on blocks all wheel off and entire Brake system being ripped down and studied ! This is gonna cost some large cash I'm sure even if my truck was in service Id never have done that load as I would have to turn an burn for this weeks hooka festival!
Turn and burn fits right in !

My rough calculations told me that $50 profit after fuel just didn't make much sense! Finally at 1600 they got it through their brain cells that no really did mean nfw!!!
