Monday, I waited until the office had been open for a half hour before I called in. The dispatcher was still 'working on breakdowns' and didn't know if there would be work for today.


There never was. Another day of sitting home when we could be working.


But the day didn't go to waist, my new computer final was delivered last week so I spent the day loading it will all the video's I have had transferred from tape to CD over the last couple of years.


And I finally got my electronic log program updated. At first the update was stuck in pending, so I deleted that and tired a new install. That stayed in pending so I had to contact the supplier of the software and ask for help. Turns out I had too many 'apps' in my pending que to do anything new.


After allowing three of the current pending apps to update, I tried the log program again and it did install. All of my work is stored at our company so nothing was lost.


It was a above -0- day so we went for a short walk. We were home for four days of just sitting, (and odd jobs.) We don't seem to be able to jump from work to actively doing home stuffs.


Load board - weekend

US - 399

IA - 167

MN - 7

WI - 13


Load board - Monday

US - 340

IA - 132

MN - 5

WI - 12

NC - 13


My guess is that long haul dispatch is still trying to get the older trips moved before loading up the board again. The oldest trips out there have been on the load board for almost six weeks.


BB didn't look at the load board at all today, she usually is watching it regardless of if we are sitting or traveling. I looked at it a couple of times. NC had a couple of pickups going to Biloxi MS. Plus a trip to WY plus one each to WI and IL.


All the big RV's coming out of IN right now are going to Canada. I don't think the dealer in MN is going to get all of his 17 Rv's by the end of the month.


Covid - I am not keeping up on any of it anymore but I did ask yesterday and Sunday's deaths were -0-. But haven't heard any big news about this finally being over.
