Back in service. I had planned on staying out through the holiday week, but my fan clutch went into failure mode. Instead of risking it, I decided to have the shop fix it and take care of the next batch of preventive work. All the work was finished just in time for the holiday part of the week. So I'm available for the odd weekend load that may come up, and no more shop bound maintenance until after the new year.

Thank you Dispatch and Load 1...

After a dry run late last week that left me hanging in DFW area for the weekend. I was surrounded by about 10 sprinters and 10 cargo vans that I could see. I had a dream (more of a nightmare) that I woke up on Monday morning to find out I was the only one still there. oddly enough just 2 mins. after waking from this dream dispatched called with a nice run to Anderson SC. I was the first person to leave not the last I sent a request in response to that QC message if we wanted to get home. I put my request in to get back toward Michigan. I was already planing on spending a missed holiday in Anderson and did not have high hopes, but took a nap and settling in just in case.
About 5hrs later I get a call from dispatch mentioning my note they had and was offered a load that picked up 30 miles away and dropped off 30 miles from my house
I must say I almost choked on my Taco Bell when he told me that. So here I sit, at home looking out at the lake, typing this and looking forward to a great Thanksgiving.
Thank you Load 1 for making this possible
Happy Thanksgiving to All
