I-39/I-90 Northbound near the Illinois/Wisconsin State Line

Well I'm sitting in Sandersville GA, after a pretty productive week. 1st good week in quite awhile. I saw this guy pass me in Illinois and I wanted a picture of all of these racks. I didn't have time to get my camera out. I got lucky because he got stuck at the Toll Plaza and I have EZ Pass. I was ready when he passed me the 2nd time. This week I delivered in Belvidere, IL on Tuesday morning. I got one later that day going from Germantown, WI(Milwaukee Suburb) to Tonawanda, NY (Buffalo Suburb). I moved over to Erie, PA and got one going from Warren, OH to here in Sandersville GA.

I might have messed up this morning, but I'll never really know. About 10am dispatch had me a load going from Valdosta, GA to Miami, FL. It picked up tonight and delivered Monday morning. It being so early in the day, I turned it down. I've been lucky in the Miami area lately with 2 loads, 1 to Atlantic City, NJ area and 1 to Washington D.C. area. I'ver also been burned down there 2 or 3 times with having to drive empty 7 or 8 hundred miles to find another load. I probably would have taken it, but with one Tropical Storm/Hurricane after another lining up and coming in and it being so early in the day, I thought I'd gamble on a load going to a busier freight area. It is beginning to look like I should have taken it because it is 5:40 PM on Friday now. I am in a good spot here and sometimes I get loads on Friday nights and Saturdays. I am centrally located between Atlanta- Macon- Augusta and North West South Carolina, All decent freight areas. I did have a couple of shots today at loads. 1 going to Baton Rouge and 1 to Ohio but they fell through. Oh well maybe I'll get something out of here before tomorrow. You really need some weekend miles to have a good week in this business.

I changed the display name. That's what was driving me crazy. Now it's Michelle hopefully. I like Micky best but people still keep calling me Michelle. I guess there are a lot of other names they call me that are worse! I'm glad you still use Micky. Del was impressed by the big racks!
Micky

Haha I answered your Email and addressed you as Michelle,I'll quit that, Micky's shorter to type anyways. What are these worse names people call you? At least they can't call you a George W. supporter, that would be fighting words.
