All the tacos you can eat!!!!

I took a nice long load from WI to Laredo TX, 1600 miles. We have a fairly large terminal here and on Mondays there is always a lot of drivers waiting for loads. Plus Monday was some Mexican Holiday so everything was shut down over there and that is where we get most the loads from out of this area. This time it was a grand total of 91!!!! Thats means it will be a long wait to get a load out of here. Luckily a friend of mine made it down here today so at least I have someone to complain with. I was plaining to stay out here until Christmas but I think I am going to take a couple of days off on Thanksgiving to visit a friend. All though i am about broke after that long time off and a $400 cell phone bill. I kinda forgot I was in Canada and ran up the bill quick. But other than that life is good. My fridge is working again, It is great weather down here and I have time to catch a movie and dinner with a friend.

This is a picture of the place i picked this load up. They get trees delivered by truck and cut them up and make it into Laminate. Then they call us, Put 45,000 lbs of the stuff on our trucks and we take it to Mexico to be made into Laminate flooring. Then we take it back up to the customers here in the states. Even with us charging around $2 a mile to move the stuff ($3,200 one way) it is still cheaper than to make it here.
