Got that right!!!

I'm sitting here answering the phone turning down people left and right. It's the same old thing every time I'm ready to head out. Brokers calling and not willing to budge at all on price and it's cheap. The next time I'm going to head out on the Friday before the weekend and see what happens. So, in the meantime I'll just watch TV and take naps.

I checked my tire pressure yesterday and noticed a trailer tire was low so I filled it up. When I was done and turned the truck off I could hear the air rushing out. The rim in one spot was bent out. Not radical, like someone took some pliers and pulled it out real nice. The only thing I could think of is that I cut a corner too sharp and rode up on the curb then came down on the edge.

So, up to my local tire place this morning at 7am and a new rim put on for a final price of $156.00. The bend went down to the bead so it could not be fixed. Got a nice new white rim.

The trees are at the height of there color around here right now. There's a traffic light near me and the colors are so vivid on the trees that the light just blends in with the background. I should have taken a picture and sent it into the news.

Cooking some spicy roasted vegetables and chicken right now then time to put the top down on my car, put the sweatshirt on and go for a ride through the country. Oh wait, I am in the country.

The truck is all set to go this time instead of rushing around like the past times. It's stocked to the max, everything washed, bed made and a new stock pile of canned food to heat up in my new microwave.

Sounds good....I love going for rides in the country and looking at the fall colors....You live in a wonderful area for that!!

Yes rates SUCK on Mondays :evil: and tuesday is not much better :twisted: . We seem to get the best rates on Wed-Friday.

We are still in Orlando trying to find a load too. We are looking at maybe putting together some LTL and going with that.

Good luck on getting out....be patient and you should get something good. Have fun!!

I know Big, those tourist truckers with hobbies above piss me off too. Here me and you are sweating like pigs with rippling muscles, winches and days without sleep and those bums are sitting on some Orlando beach in Florida.

Ya, I'm with ya DieselBreath.

I haven't been to the beach in Orlando in years. :roll: :wink:

[Doghouse]

Orlando beaches are pristine works of art,.....if you drive 100miles to the east or west.

What about Wet & Wild, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon?
Lots of pristine sights at the fake theme park beaches.. :wink:

That happens to us too. In fact, we got so tired of wrecking aluminum rims we spec'd our new trailer with steel on the outsside and aluminum on the inside. Threw the sales guy for a loop LOL.

There was a load going to Daytona Florida yesterday and I called about it but they wouldn't budge at all on the rate. Not even a nickel more. My mother use to live down there so I know tons of places I can park the truck. Then I thought about it and it's not a big deal. I live close to the beach here in NH and been to Datona beach a ton of times.

I had a friend visit me from Nevada once and she was down right amazed by all the trees. We had the roof down on the car driving through the country and she just couldn't get over the fact that we were in a tunnel of trees.
