Ok I'm headed to Syracuse for a 23rd appointment and then I have a new gig.
I'm doing the triangle run, complete drop and hooks, Pennsylvania to Georgia to Chicago or a mixture of all three.
I set my own appointment times and dates. I don't have to run myself to hard and still manage good miles.
Yes I know I shouldn't work for miles, but I don't mind because I'm not afraid of work.
Hopefully it all goes through and I do get the gig.

Well I denied the load, it would cost more to run it then I was willing to pay.
So I reset my hours and calculated my miles for the month and for a slacker I actually do work. I just like to know how I did 11,000 miles since July 26th. :wtf:
Why am I not wore out.....Heck, I even had two days of hometime with it. :wow:
I Went to Corsicana from Wisconsin, denied another load to Georgia and my qualcomm stopped working (mysteriously).
Now I'm in Gallup, NM and thinking of dropping my trailer tomorrow so I can get another load tomorrow night and head back to the house and then to the yard.
Margie your right!! I'm covering 600 miles in 9 hours just by keeping my door shut. Good thing is, I'm not even running it's full potential. :rofl:
I figured out my fuel problem and stuck some automatic trans fluid in my tanks and 6.0 isn't to bad.

Oh I tell ya!!
So far "Yipes Blue" is doing good. She isn't tearing up the tires like before (3 way alignment worked wonders.) She is sounding quieter after I put the automatic trans fluid in her belly. I still don't idle her at night if it's decent out and before I forget I need to bath her before she rebels against me.
The mechanic that gave me a service at the AM Best T/S in Anna, Texas was good to me.
For the price of a oil change and a new fuel filter he didn't break me and even checked out my brakes, the trailer brakes, the drive tranny and did some other stuff.
I know where I'm going for my serivices if I'm down that way.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to get off my regular FM's board though. :wtf: I'm giving it another month to see if things work out right. If not, I have to say my farewells and good byes.
I like telling them which loads I will and will not take.

Ahhh life was good before and of course after I did my dirty deed.
I had to start taking St Johns Wort again, seems people don't get the hint when I don't answer my phone. MY job doesn't stress me out, my truck doesn't stress me out, but certain people do. It makes no sense I tell ya!
Why is it the weirdos, well stranger then "me" have to live up in high altitudes.
