Speaking of - where is Broke Canadian?

Apologies. How is everyone?

I think my last post was my drive to Saskatchewan. I don't think I wanted the timeline out in public. Safety first

Doing everything I've always wanted to do has simply taken all my time, so I've been off the forum.

Everyone I love is still here. Nothing drastic to report. Occasionally I get called for a delivery. That's it, you're all caught up

Back at home again. Got a return trip going most of the way back.
Will be dropping the van back at the shop in the morning to get checked out.
I had rear end work done a couple of weeks ago, and it's leaking again

The operation hit a snag this morning, just as it was entering a crackwh*re phase. I accepted a long run at under .70 because it was on the way back to PA. Arrived at the shipper at 1130 and was told the freight wouldn’t be ready until 1400. That would have made a tight run almost impossible, especially with the snowstorm in progress in the Plains. I advised dispatch and long story short, the freight flew and I got a tonu.

Nice day in Boise, though, but crap is it cold . Oh well, que sera sera

I've found sometimes things happen for a reason...at least the tonu will help with the layover...with a better offer to come..good luck...

Back in 1990 Dr John was in the right place, at the wrong time. Today we were in the right place, at the right time. Loaded and rolling from Motor City to San Diego - Friday OR Monday delivery @ our choice

Sitting down for pizza, and a Thunder Bay call. At least it's only halfway across Ontario (16 hours

))

Very profitable day, already had $800 in locals...

I didn't know the federal prison camp at Duluth used shackles. Well maybe to keep the inmate's golf bags attached to their caddies.

Do I wish I was retired, yes - wait.....I forgot, I am retired. Well, even if I had serious money I can't imagine being totally retired.

I retired in 1997. Expedite is my retirement.

Not even close

1.26 million worth of easily cashable freight on board. I'd worry, but the sprinter looks so ugly bums give ME money at traffic lights

The “reason”, so to speak, is probably the fact that it’s time for new treads

. The tires are still legal, but before the flakes fly, Baby should have new boots . A nice run home would be a big help at the counter.

Boss suggested Salt Lake, so we came down last night. I’m a bit skeptical, tho; there’s a lot of capacity here for this market. I wonder if people are fleeing California

; this would be the logical place to go to get away from the Bay Area.
