After a great week last week(thinking things are back on track)I delivered in Alabama and went over to Newnan Georgia and sat for nearly 5 days with someone under bidding both of the companies I work for on numerous loads.........Now I sit in corbin KY and if nothing by 5 I will be on my way home with a empty week.
Now this makes me wonder whats going on???????????????????

Fargo, after coming through one of the weirdest, wildest, heaviest wet snowstorms I've ever been in, from Mason City Iowa north almost to The Cities. I managed to run a good length of the storm as it moved across 35.

Over 100 miles of crawling one lane through huge soaking wet flakes. Then as sharp a line as one can imagine it stopped completely and the roads were dry. Even the weathermen on the radio said it was the freakiest thing they've seen. Some towns got up to a foot. Was coming down so thick and wet I had to stop a few times just to clear my headlights from a thick coat of the mess so I could see at least a few yards ahead in the dark.

If you can't get anything on Monday or Tuesday, your already loosing your momentum. Once you do that your done.. enless a miracle comes through. It's Thursday, I've had one small load to cover personal get around town fuel and my OC fees... I'm afraid I will sit around today and maybe tomorrow. Who knows I might get another 100mile load. I think I will just start taking the 1st week off of every month. :)

Two days can make your entire week and be better than running 6 days. You never know when freight will break where you are.

Yellow tuna can, PA plates? That's me. I pulled in nose first so my backup beeper wouldn't wake you up. I didn't figure on the group of teenagers bein' all loud at 11:00 or whatever. Oh well.

Sittin' in Wendy's now, a couple tables away from 3 of Kentucky's finest. I must be getting old, 'cos I remember when State Troopers had hair. :eek::rolleyes:
