Hi all!  Tonette here.  Just thought I'd update the blog today since we are just sitting here doing nothing until Sunday morning. 

 This has been a terrible week for freight.  We started the week off having no driving time available so we had to both do a 34 hour restart to get our driving time back.  That happened Monday and into Tuesday.   Found out that there was some sort of freight strike and automotive strike up in Michigan so the loads were non existant.  We finally got a load out of Memphis, picked up in Jackson Tennessee and delivered in Memphis.. back where we started.  It was an 88 mile run all together which really sucked, but we figured a short run was better than no run at all.  We got back to the Pilot in West Memphis where we were sleeping and slept for 1 hour and got another load offer.. the exact same run we had just finished.  Turns out we did two more loads to the same place.. 3 in total.  That brought us to Friday morning and we decided to move ourselves to a better freight area so on our way up to Illinois, we got a load offer that picked up in Poplar Bluff Missouri and delivered in Gladwin Michigan.  The bad thing is, it doesn't pick up until Sunday morning and it's a deliver direct at 2am Monday monring.  So we are sitting in Matthews Missouri about 40 miles from our pick up because it's the closest place to where we need to be.  Freight sucked this week, but hopefully it will be better next week since we'll be in Michigan. 

We have had some bad news about Summer this week as well, I called mom to have her call grandpa and get him to start praying for her.  Her babies need her so she HAS to get better. 

Well, I think I've run out of things to say for now.  If I think of anything else, I'll let ya know.  It's not like I won't have time.

Oh, we are going to get the truck washed soon and take a picture of it to post on the pictures page.  We'll probably have the truck then each of us standing by it.  One of us has to take the picture ya know so we can't both be in the same pic.  Anyway, talk to y'all later.
