Today we are looking at the runs for next week that we didn't look at yesterday. Rental car rates are up to $200-$300 a day for a lot of area's. $600 a day from one place. CA and NV are two area's that are still in the $100 a day range. Anything over that and we aren't going to be making any money.

As of now there are still six RV's going to Newark CA and 10 going to Henderson NV, our two best shots. But we can't make it to CA and deliver in four days. Maybe they will take deliveries on Friday Jul 3?

Wow. Things change in a hurry. I wanted to know if the drop would take delivery on Friday so I called dispatch. They do take delivery and dispatch asked if I wanted a run ... I had not planned on calling in today. We had not talked about it. I quick asked BB, she agreed and we are going.

We will leave out Monday as we aren't current on our paperwork and that needs to be current Monday AM before we get paperwork.

We are heading to Newark CA. We know the route, where the motels are every 500 miles, all the fuel stops.

Dispatch did say there are 50 of these. And so far we have only seed 20 on the load board.

Before we get to CA, I will be calling the west coast dispatch to see if the bus company is even open this week. The MN bus company closes over the 4th and over Christmas. If they are open we will either get a bus on Friday or we head home. We need to be home home by Thursday of the following week. So we will also have to be a little picky ... and I will be up against my hours. 2,000 miles out will use 50 of my 70 hours. So we either run slow or do a total shut down for a day which ever works best based on where the bus is going.

I don't think I have mentioned this before, our RV company is now running RV's out of a new place in Indiana. The great big RV's like we moved for a short time out of Oregon. Might explain why we are hardly moving the but RV's out of IA, maybe they are 'giving' that marked to the new brand they bought.

Swung past the local office to drop off my paperwork. There was both a Phoenix and a Baltimore bus sitting there plus a couple of trucks. But they never called me and I called them once we were in town last week and again this week until I got work. Now I will be NA for them again until mid-July.
